Every year my report for the APCM foryns the basis of a thank you to you all for all that has taken place over the past 12 months. We are a very busy and committed set of Christians in our respective churches en8a8ed with every facet of regular church life as well a5 being open and welcoming to those who are simply passing our doors or in need of pastoral care or want to enjoy our hospitality- none of these things would be possible without each one ofyou.. the unsung heroe5 of our team. That being sald, as you know, as Christlans we need to take the gospel out into our communlties and last year in three out of our five church communities. we worked very hard to make this happen, to begin laying plans to make our churches more inviting and fit for purpose for the 21" Century. By the time you read thi5 report the reordering of St John's will be complete as will the resurfacing of the road at Holy Trinity - through hard work, 8enerosity, commitment and the 8race of God these proJe¢t5 wlll be our sprin8board towards our focus on mission which begins in eamest now. The project at St Marfs to reorder the church there has been slow to galn traction but I'm hoplng that wlll be our mlsslonal focus for this year a150. Nidd church continues to offer a specific ministry to hotel guests and visStors, and we wlll also be working to hl8hlight the small church at Brearton as a place of quiet and reflective contemplation on the Knaresborou8h Round. Agaln, all these thln85 will onty be achievable through your continued faithfulness. prayer and hard work. As always, I continue to be deepty honoured to be your Rector across thisteam and wlsh to pay particular tribute to Revd Lisa and Faye in the Offi￿ who support us all wlth their gifts and talents.

Margaret Bridge PCC Secretsry Fabrlc Reports St. John the Baptlst. Knaresborough Apart from general and ongoinB maintenance activty in both the church and the Hub. the main focu5 throughout the year has been preparatory work for the proposed reorderin8 of the interior of the church. Overton Architects of Ilkley were briefed on the need for improved acce$5ibility throughout the church and to recommend such chan8es appropriate to worship in the 21" century. They produced plans for complete reorderln8 of the West End of the church and of the North Aisle to Improve accessibility for all and, in particular. to make provls5on for disabled people, families and children. The original plans We￿ subsequently amended by the architects to accommodate points raised by the North Yorkshire Council Plannin8 Dept. and these have been submitted to the Diocesan Office for final approval. It Is Intended to proceed wlth the completion of this major projert, includin8 improvements to audio vlsual facilities, in the first half of 2025. David Osborne Holy Tflnlty, KnaresI￿r0Ysh 2024 was a year of intense fundralsin8 in order to proceed with the revamp of the drNeway and carpark and we a￿ pleased to report that this will happen in the very near future. The church roof is constant concern. and repairs a￿ carried out when necessary. Two memorial benches have been replaced in the churchyard lone due to bein8 damaged by a ioyriderl. Routine maintenance has been tarried out in both the church and the hall. namely the boiler servicing, the electrlcal PAT testing, the fire extinguisher Se￿I¢1n& organ and piano tuning. A working party decorated the lower wall in the chancel and the marbled area around the aumbry was uncovered. The remainder of the internal decoration needs to be considered once the roof repairs are completed. The stage in the church hall has been treated for woodwomi and ￿paIred, and some ￿paIrS we carried out to the roof tiles. We plan to redecorate the kitchen and entrance hall as soon as possible.

Holy Trinity continues to have a faithful and loyal congregation and we are thankful for the support from them and particularly from the committee members. 2025 will continue to bring many financial challenges, yet we will strive to address any problems as and vthen we are able to do 50.

Deanery Synod Re Clergy and laity from the Knaresborough Team V￿re represented at meetings of Harrogate Deanery Synod in 2024. Meetings were held in January, March, June and November at churches and halls around the Deanery- Pannal, Harrogate, Fewston and Wetherby. Bishop Anna spoke on our reSpI￿S•bilIty to the environment- other speaker5 spoke on environmental initiatives and Kairos Church/Communityand lay ministry. The meetings typicallyalso included updates on= good news from around the Deanery and appointments of new dergy. John Margerison Deanery Synod Lay Member for St Marfs Gold5borough Safe8uardlng Report SafeRuarding is an ongoing process that reqvires continuous learning and awareness. Training will always be necessary, and we need to rernain attèntive to new information and training requests. This ensures our churches remains open and safe place for everyone. All our policies were renewed and approved at the September PCC meeting and are now prominentlv displayed in our churches. We continue to request that all volunteers complete the online Basic Safeguarding Course a5 a mlnimum. as safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. Out of 108 volunteers on our Parish Safeguarding Dashboard only 11 volunteers are still requiring completing some form of safeguardin8. The Dio¢ese has implemented a new change regarding DBS whereln DBS Certificates are no longer available on the yearly updating service and will need to be renewed every 3 years, however they have simplified the application, and it can be eompleted online. Thank you for your continued support wrth safeguardin8 within our Team Minlstry. We all share responslblllty for safeguarding the integrity and the people In our church. Faye Wrl8ht- Kfm Safeguardin8 Officer Flnandal Revlew The Parish Is funded by voluntsry donauons from Its con8re8atlons and supporters. supplemented by fund raising activities, investment Income {including revenue generated by our property assets- cai parks. cottage, halls etc.,) and fees. Monles received are predominantly spent on providing services and keeping our churches ènd buildings maintsined and welcoming. Each church is responsible for its own finances and retains its own funds. Responsibility for both Income and expend¢ture rests primarily with the individual Church Vestry Committees, though tertain costs, in¢urred Centrally by the PCC. are rffharged to Churches. However, major expenditure1£5,000+) requires the prior approval of the PCC. Year-end accounts are prepared and approved by the appropriate Church Committee and then consolidated to provide the overall accounts for the Parish. Mltchell, Wellock have agreed to continue to act as independent examiners. The parish holds bank accounts at Nat West, HSBC, Barclays and Yorkshire Banks, and in the Leeds and Skipton Building Societies. There are also deposits with the Church Central Board of Finance. These

Institutions have no influence on the operations of the parish and the relats'onship is purely commercial. They are available for financial advice if required. Revlew of 2024 The Parish is not immune from the financial pressures that affect the wider economy and increasing Costs, particularly those associated wtth heating and lighting our churches, have had to be absorbed. Our parishioners face similar pressure5 and coupled with a continued, if modest, decline in Church attendance, we have seen a fall in voluntary giving. Against this background. it is pleasing to report that the Parish made a financial surplus of £19,210 after havin8 paid £125,OW 12023.. £119,0￿) to the Diocese by way of Parish Share. This was only achieved due to the great efforts made by members In raising funds and maintaining our Churches and also to the generosity of many whose financial support is hugely valued. At 310ecember. 2024. the Parish's net assets totalled £977,(NJO12023'. £703.(￿0}. The large increase is almost entirely due to the flnancial support provided to St John's to meet the cost of the planned redevelopment of the West End of the Church and, to a le55er extent, that provided to Holy Trinity to finance the essential work to the car park and driveway. Those funds are held separately from general funds. A breakdown of the Parish's variou5 funds can be seen In Notes 11 and 12 to the Financial Statements. Rlsk Management The Trustees have a duty to Identify and review the risks to whlth the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Management of financial risk is the responsibility of the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee Is a sub-committee of the PCC, of which the Finance Committee Chair (also the PCC Treasurer) Is a member. The additional membershlp of the Finance Committee comprises Clergy, Church Treasurers and, currently, one co-opted member lJ•ck Wilson). The Committee met four times durlng 2024. Standing Agenda items include rèview of current Church and PCC finances and forward projections, notification of issues arising that might have a material financial impact, and Consideration and approval of planned expenditure of £5,000 or more. Reserves Pollcy The Parlsh has been fortunate in the past and benefits from a number of Endowment funds, the Income from which is used mainly, but not exclusivety, for specific purposes. The various churches all have Restricted funds. where money has been given /raised for specific purposes. On¢e the required funds are raised, 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 objectives to raise any reserve funds for general l investment purposes. General funds, which are used to finance day to day expenditure, are maintsined at a level that is adequate to meet short term commitments. Final￿, we need to acknowledge the job done by the Church Treasurers, fully supported by their Vestry Committees. l am extremely erateful to each of thém for the. largely unseen, work they do and the help and support Mike (St. John's- Knaresboroughl, ts'z IHoly Trinity), David (St. Paul & SL Margaret- Niddl and Stephen15t.
