TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Structure, Governance and Management

St Luke’s Grimethorpe with St Paul’s Brierley PCC is a body corporate and operates under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Church Representation Rules.

In 2009, the PCC applied to the Charity Commission to register as a charity and this process was successfully completed in March 2010 (Charity registration number 1134782).

On the 3[rd] September 2019, the parishes of. St Luke’s Church, Grimethorpe with St Paul’s Church, Brierley, All Saints’ Church, South Kirkby and St James the Great, Ryhill with Havercroft, Wintersett & Cold Hiendley began a new working partnership, with The Revd Canon Paul Cartwright appointed as Parish Priest. These parishes encompass the Deaneries of Barnsley, Pontefract and Wakefield. Each Parish has its own PCC and keeps its own accounts. As of 1[st] November 2021, the parishes were recognised as the Priory Benefice and became part of the Pontefract Deanery. The Revd. Canon Paul Cartwright was appointed the vicar of the benefice. He is supported by a clergy team of Fr Tom Bates-Bourne, Associate Priest, Fr Jonathan Fleury, Assistant Curate, Fr Mark Burns, Assistant Curate, Deacons Revd Michael Scholey and Hon. Deacon June Crossland.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church members are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. Induction training is available to PCC members, including trustee responsibilities.

The PCC met in person on 4 formal occasions 2021.

The PCC operates one sub-committee – the standing-committee: membership comprises The Vicar, Associate Priest, both Churchwardens, Vice-Chair of the PCC, PCC Secretary and PCC Treasurer.

Risk Assessments

To identify their major risks, the PCC undertakes a programme of risk assessments. Procedures are then put in place to manage those risks and minimise their impact on the life of the church. Action in the main areas of risk has been taken as follows.

Financial Risk

An annual budget is prepared to ensure short term viability. Actual results compared with budget are reported to the PCC quarterly. All assets are insured and levels reviewed annually and approved by the PCC. The PCC has approved internal controls for annual accounts, cash and cheque handling.

Health and Safety

A full review was undertaken by the Vicar and Churchwardens in 2014, as a result of which a new Health and Safety Policy was written and adopted by the PCC. This policy, along with all Health and Safety procedures, was reviewed in 2018 and will next be reviewed in 2022. Risk Assessments using Diocesan guidelines, were put in place for safe working during the pandemic.

Child and Vulnerable Adult Protection

The Parish’s Safeguarding Policies were reviewed during 2019. The PCC has ensured that volunteers have been formally checked under safeguarding rules where necessary.

All formal risk assessments are listed within the PCC’s Risk Register and are reviewed annually.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Aims and Purposes

The general functions of the PCC are stated within section 2 of the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956.

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Vicar, the Associate Priest and Churchwardens in promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church; pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Objectives and Activities

At St Luke’s and St Paul’s our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England, both through the word and our deeds to love the Lord our God, to love our neighbours and love each other in our fellowship.

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

The PCC also seeks opportunities and encourages the use of all Church Buildings for Community events which do not involve worship and which promote wellbeing and Community Cohesion. When planning our activities for the year, the PCC considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance to charities concerned with the advancement of religion.

Our objectives for 2021 were to provide the following public benefits:

To Love the Lord our God, by:

To love our neighbour, by:

Achievements and Performance

Including review of charitable achievements against objectives

The PCC is satisfied with the achievements against objectives set out in the previous section.

The following section highlights the main areas of activity and performance:

Worship and Prayer

All are welcome to attend the regular services. At present there are 58 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. The average weekly attendance at Sunday Mass (across both churches under normal circumstances) was 30.

As well as our regular services, we enable the community to celebrate and thank God at various milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life and make candidates members of the Church of God. In marriage, public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing. At funeral services, family and friends express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and commend the departed into God’s keeping.

In 2021 there were 10 baptisms, 3 weddings and 45 funerals.

Deanery Synod

Two members of the PCC and the Parish Priest sit on the Barnsley Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the parish and the wider structures of the church. As of the 9[th ] of May 2021, there was one vacancy for representative on the Deanery Synod. From 1[st] November 2021 we will be part of the Pontefract Deanery.

Pastoral care and service to our community

The Vicar and the Associate Priest have made regular visits to or contacted the sick and bereaved members of the community, to others who are unable to attend church, and to others for a variety of reasons as requested (within the government guidelines and advice from the Diocese). Two members of the congregation are licensed and trained to visit people as Eucharistic ministers taking the Sacrament to individual homes when needed and assisting the Priest when required. The Priest has visited residential and nursing homes in the parish on request.

The use of the church for social activities has begun to be reintroduced within the guidelines set out by the Church of England and the NHS. A quiz and a race night were held at St. Luke’s. The Remembrance Day service and the Miners’ Memorial Reunion took place, and the Memorial Masses for the recently departed have begun again. The use of social media and live streaming has continued to reach out to the congregation and the wider community. The Wednesday PM club at St Paul’s Brierley which caters for people in the community is still waiting to start again. Christmas trees with lights outside St Luke’s and St Paul’s Brierley were erected by Barnsley MBC, and the light switching on events and community carol singing took place at each church organised by the church and respective resident’s groups. During Advent, there was a Messy Church event at St Luke’s and Christingle Services at both churches which were well attended.

The Clergy team can refer people from our parish to the food bank to receive food parcels at times of exceptional need, and in turn the foodbank receives donations from us. Throughout 2021, parishioners have continued to donate generously to the foodbank. This remains an important part of our charitable giving and community service and is the focus of our harvest offering. We also give a money donation towards the work of Barnsley Churches Drop-in Project.

The Parish Magazine has not been able to continue because of restrictions and the ill-health of the editor, and as a result of this a quarterly publication (News from the Pews) has been introduced across the united benefice.

Youth and Children’s Work

A play area at St Luke’s has been created with new resources. There is play area at St Paul’s and this is awaiting new resources. All are welcome to make use of them under parental supervision.

Our links with Brierley School, remain strong, to our mutual benefit. Children have been able to visit church in small groups but could not take part in services at the church. The Vicar and, the Associate Priest, serve on the Governing body. One other person from the church congregation served as a Foundation Governor until September 2021 and has been replaced by another member of the congregation. The Vicar has continued to provide support in his role as Chair of Governors. Mrs Benson is keen to continue the strong ties the school has with the Church, and these links have been strengthened by the Vicar and the Associate Priest.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT continued

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

We welcomed a number of schools and nursery groups to both churches to explore the building and talk about Christianity and the Vicar, the Associate Priest and other members of the clergy team have visited schools and nurseries in the parish. The Christingle continued to attract good numbers of young people, and children from Ladywood and Milefield schools were involved in their own live streamed Christingle Services. In an attempt to improve the experience of the younger members of our parish, a bespoke service has been introduced using the Messy Church template.

Church Buildings

Flooding still causes some concern in the cellar at St Luke’s. Electrical work has been carried out to refurbish the security lights around St Luke’s and to replace the halogen lights in the Lady Chapel with LED lights. The metal star has been removed from the outer wall at the front of St Luke’s. Moss was removed from the drive way and carpark to the rear of St Luke’s. A Defibrillator has been sited on the west end wall of St Paul’s, Brierley.

A number of pews, that were considered unsafe or a health and safety risk have been removed from St Luke’s

Finance, Giving and Fundraising

The financial situation remains challenging. We are substantially behind with our Parish Share payments to the Diocese of Leeds. These are voluntary payments (at a level set by the Diocese) which contribute towards the overall cost of ministry, both in our own and other parishes. Morally, the Parish Share is the material way in which each Parish recognises that it is a part of a greater whole – i.e., the Universal Church – with reciprocal responsibilities to brothers and sisters in Christ across the Diocese and beyond. We have a commitment to, when possible, increasing our payments each year.

The income has increased in 2021 over 2020 due mainly to services being able to resume in church and being able to hold fundraising events. Our income from other events and funerals has increased. The number of people giving by weekly envelope and monthly direct payment through the bank has stayed the same; there were 26 regular givers in 2021. Plans are being put in place hopefully to increase unrestricted income in 2022. We are grateful to those who give generously and sacrificially; however, it must be noted that although a number of regular givers passed away during 2021, they were replaced by others. At the moment we are able to meet all our outgoings and pay for essential repairs, however we are not able to meet our Parish Share quota, We have maintained our level of reserves.

The PCC authorised the allocation of at least 5% of the income of the church (direct giving and unrestricted donations) for distribution to other charitable organisations. The main donations made by the PCC in 2021 were to Compassion UK, who support children in Africa and Asia, to the Additional Curates’ Society – who assist in enabling curates to work in poor parishes in the UK. In addition, donations were made to The Royal British Legion, The Children’s Society, Barnsley Churches Drop-in Centre, and Christian Aid as well as donations to local charities.

Financial Review

The financial statements are set out in pages 12 to 19. Total income for the year was £30,925 (2020: £22,919). Total funds at the year end stand at £21,089 (2020: £15,538).

The reserve fund at the end of the year stands at £5,044, with no change from 2020. However, this year the trustees have also established a designated project fund, consisting of the donation of £3,629 from the closure of the Grimethorpe St Luke’s group and £1,000 from church fundraising income.

Main sources of income were planned giving by our members of £8,560, Collections of £4,898, PCC Fees of £5,267, General Donations of £7,167, Fund-raising of £2,167 and Gift Aid reclaim of £2.816.

We contributed £3,600 towards the Parish Share Payment to the Diocese of Leeds which was an increase of 50% on 2020 but lower than the £5,500 that we paid in 2019, due to the effects of the pandemic.

Reserves Policy

At the end of 2021, the level of the Reserve Fund stands at £5,044 which is in line with the agreed policy on reserves. The PCC also holds £4,629 in a designated project fund.

Factors relevant to the achievement of our stated objectives

The formation of the Priory Benefice encompassing 3 parishes and 4 churches has created a larger area and a clergy team made up of the Parish Priest (Vicar from 1/11/2021), Associate Priest, a stipendiary Deacon and three SSM Deacons. The commitment and energy shown by the Vicar, the Associate Priest, and the Deacons as well as the Churchwardens, the PCC and the small but loyal team of volunteers, has been key to the achievement of the objectives in 2021. In September, we welcomed Fr Jonathon Fleury, stipendiary deacon to the clergy team and he lives in the vicarage at All Saints, South Kirkby.

We do not have a resident organist, but Mrs Margaret Jones Brown is available to provided music as and when we are allowed.

Plans for the future

In 2022 we intend:
