**2021  -  2022** 



Adopted by the Parochial Church Council and signed on behalf of the PCC. 

**…………………………………..** Rev John Rainer Incumbent Date: **……………………………** 

## **VISION** 

**Our vision is to see the town of Shipley changed by the power of God. We want to see this happen through a Church which is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and committed to the Word of God, which serves others in order to bring God’s Kingdom. We want St Peter’s to become a key ‘transforming community’ bringing about this change, as a church alive with the joy of knowing and worshipping Jesus Christ.** 

## **VALUES** 

## **WORSHIP** 

We believe that we are to cultivate a life of prayer and worship ‘in spirit and in truth’ and to experience intimacy with God. 

Our corporate worship is to be anchored in God’s Word and inspired by the Holy Spirit. 

## **NURTURE** 

All our teaching will be based in the Bible because we believe it is the inspired Word of God. We seek to train and equip church members to discover and use their gifts in Christian service and in building up the church. 

Children and young people will be nurtured amongst us as the church of today. 

## **FELLOWSHIP** 

We encourage loving, caring mutual respect for all through small groups and various forms of worship. 

We will do everything we can to make sure everyone can take a full and equal part in our church life, regardless of any particular needs. 

We believe God is willing to use any group of people who will together seek and call upon him in prayer. 

## **MISSION** 

We believe that God commands and equips us to share the Gospel in word and action. We want to be the local church for local people. We will take the Gospel out to people around us in whatever ways they will best see, hear and understand. 

We believe that we are to get involved and take initiatives in, worldwide mission which transforms lives, through our money, prayers and effort. 

## **SERVICE** 

We as the body of Christ will serve one another and the local community, both as individuals, and through making our premises available whenever possible to local people and organisations. 

## **GENEROSITY** 

We promote generosity which arises out of a desire to be like Jesus in the ways we use our time and possessions, and in which we offer hospitality and interest in others.

The Parochial Church Council (hereafter referred to as the ‘PCC’) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure and is registered with the Charities Commission, no. 1134797. The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. Lay representatives are appointed, by election, to vacancies if necessary, from members of the Electoral Roll who are nominated to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM). Initial induction for all new members of the PCC is conducted by the Incumbent. 

St Peter’s PCC held 8 meetings during the 2021 - 2022 year, two of which (May and June 2021) took place remotely via Zoom. There was also an Away Day in July 2021. 

The Mission Support Group has responsibility for proposing donations to the church’s Mission Partners on an annual basis although these are agreed by the full PCC. (This process is likely to change next year, as this group has not been meeting). A Working group of PCC members has continued to operate during the year to consider issues of Environmental Policy. This group has reported fully to the full PCC during the year. 

Day-to-day management and responsibility for the church and its activities has been delegated to the Incumbent and Staff Team, consisting of the Incumbent, Church Wardens, and Youth and Children’s Worker, Licensed Lay Minister (also PCC Secretary) and Treasurer.  The Staff Team meets regularly and meetings are also attended by the Church Administrator. Two lay Pastoral Co Ordinators have briefed the Staff Team on pastoral matters requiring attention when necessary. 

## **Section 2: Main activities** 

## **2.1 Mission** 

During 2021 – 2022 mission activities were severely curtailed by Covid 19 restrictions, although these gradually eased after Easter 2021. For much of the year, PCC activity was focussed on the need to fund a major repair to the Hall Roofs which had become apparent in late 2020. The financial detail of this appeal is outlined in Section 4, and the specific figures appear in the 2021 Accounts. However, 



the PCC took the important decision to include as an integral part of this work the installation of solar panels on the Hall Roofs. It was felt that such a project would be far more expensive if delayed to a future time. As our Halls are part of a limited number of community facilities in Saltaire, it was felt that a project which also aimed to respond positively to climate change would attract some external funding. (This proved to be the case  - see Section 2.5). The project was completed (apart from some minor internal redecorating work) in December 2021. 

A number of activities from Sunday worship to Youth activities and home groups were moved online via Zoom and the church’s You Tube channel until the easing of restrictions allowed public worship to resume shortly before Easter 2021.  Whilst much of our face to face worship provision has resumed, online provision continues to be used by an audience both inside and outside the parish, and the PCC are considering how this can continue to be effectively resourced. Several church funerals have also been livestreamed. 

Of the major mission initiatives begun before the pandemic, Messy Church moved online but restarted face to face gatherings in October 2021.  Full details of this appear in the Children’s & Youth Report, but the PCC would like to record thanks to Jessica Criddle for her major contribution to the leadership of this, and to the catering support team. There have not been any meetings of the ‘Refresh’ gathering although this too may restart once social distancing restrictions are lifted. 

St Peter’s has continued to support the activities of Shipley Christians Together which seek to reach out to the town. Revd John Rainer joined the Trustee body of SCT in 2021 as a Anglican representative following the departure of Rev Henriette Howarth from St Paul’s. Two church members, Peter Criddle and Ben Clymo, serve on the Trustee body of the Bradford North Foodbank, and Julie Rainer continues to work as Signposting Co Ordinator for the Foodbank 

A market stall in the centre of Shipley continues to be rented on a fortnightly basis by the Bible Stall Project, leading to conversations with passers-by in the Market Place, with free Bibles available where appropriate. This Shipley Christians Together initiative has the support of the PCC, and members of St Peter’s share the staffing of the Stall, although this has necessarily been sporadic during the past twelve months. 

St Peter’s is one of six churches in Shipley sponsoring the CAP Debt Centre based at Northcliffe Church. The activity of the Manager, Thomas Knight and of its befriending volunteers is reported regularly to the full PCC. Thomas was able to address the PCC via Zoom in March 2021. 

We have also continued to work closely with the Zephaniah Trust through the year, most obviously through Julia Leech, who continues on its staff as a mission partner 



of the PCC. Much of their work in schools in the past twelve months has been limited by Covid restrictions, although they have developed a strong online presence. 

The PCC continues to maintain a number of links with overseas Mission Partners. No special Missions Gift Day took place in 2021 – in part because of fund-raising for the Hall Roof -  although some donations from the Red Post Box Appeal at Advent 2021 were made to long-standing partners. Coronavirus has had a severe impact on the work of our Mission Partners, some of whom were compelled to return to the UK, and a process is under way to re-assess our relationship with some of these links. Covid restrictions have meant that no Mission Partner visits were possible until February 2022. 

## **2.2 Children & Youth Work** 

This area is the responsibility of Rachel McGirr, whose report on the groups which meet regularly is available separately. 

## **2.3 Development of Ministry at St Peter’s** 

Viv Brealey is our Licensed Lay Minister, and thanks are due to her for continuing responsibility for music in worship, and major contribution to preaching and leading worship. We have sought to continue to respond to the Diocese’s call to develop lay ministry by encouraging a number of lay individuals to assist with worship, particularly Mark Davies, Andy Thorlby, Rachel McGirr, Frances Vose, Mike Moss, and Zahida Mallard. The PCC are grateful to Revd Joe Batt who continues to give occasional help with eucharistic services from retirement. 

The moving of worship online has presented major challenges, and thanks are due to all those who have contributed to services remotely, to the livestreaming of some services (especially Rachel McGirr, Mervyn Silva, Mike Moss and Viv Brealey) and to Viv Brealey and Matt Porritt for video editing of pre-recorded material 

Two members of the congregation, Duncan Milwain and Daniel Furlong, have moved on to begin ordination training, (September 2021) including placements at other churches in the Bradford Episcopal Area. 

In November 2021 Revd Brian Greenfield was licensed to St Peter’s as Associate Priest as part of his appointment to be priest in charge of St Paul’s Shipley, Christ Church Windhill and Eldwick Church. 

## **2.4 Safeguarding** 



Frances Vose is our Safeguarding Officer. The safeguarding policy was reviewed and updated by the PCC in July 2021. Safeguarding is a regular item on PCC agendas. No incidents have been reported . 

## **2.5 Buildings and Maintenance** 

Work undertaken this year is detailed further in the separate Fabric Report. The PCC is very grateful to the Wardens and to Mike Moss for overseeing this. 

The substantive project of 2021 was an extensive repair to the roofs of the Church Halls. Further to authorising these repairs, the PCC  -  encouraged by its Environment sub-group  -  requested the installation of a number of solar panels on these roofs for the generation of electricity. Advice on this was sought from Prof. Dharmadasa of Sheffield Hallam University, who addressed one PCC meeting via Zoom at the request of Mervyn Silva (Warden). Moreover, over the course of the year some £43,000 (about one third of the cost of the project) was obtained in grant assistance from a number of sources. The PCC are very grateful to Mike Moss and Julie Rainer for their work on these grant applications. 

We continue to be in discussions with Vodafone, who have had equipment sited on the church tower since 1997. We are very grateful to Andy Thorlby, who is representing the PCC in this matter, for keeping a watching brief on the situation. 

## **2.6 Deanery issues** 

St Peter’s Shipley is part of the Aire and Worth Deanery. We are represented at deanery level by Rev John Rainer, Mrs Viv Brealey, Mr Mike Moss (also lay chair of the Deanery and a member of the Diocesan Synod) and Mrs Zahida Mallard (also a member of the Diocesan Synod for the current triennium and General Synod until autumn 2021) 

Deanery business is regularly reported to the PCC. 

## **2.7 Policy issues** 

Health & Safety continues to be a regular item for review at PCC meetings. We have continued to look for an H & S Officer to work on day to day issues alongside Jeff Parkinson, who will deal with the church policy and with ensuring that it is kept up to date. 

We are seeking to respond to the need to put in place policies for a number of areas of church life. New policies have been passed for Equal Opportunities (in line with 



Diocesan guidelines) and for Baptisms. Other policies are being monitored and updated on a rolling basis from meeting to meeting. 

## **2.8 Disability issues** 

Jo Baxter continues as Disability Officer for the PCC. The measures taken to ensure that the church has been covid-safe over the past twelve months have taken into account the impact of restrictions on disabled people. 

## **2.9 Employment issues** 

During 2021 – 2022 the PCC employed an administrator (Mrs Judith Hudson), and a Youth and Children’s Worker (Miss Rachel McGirr). These are line-managed by the Incumbent. During the periods of church closure both have worked their full complement of hours from home and have not been subject to furlough. Judith Hudson retired as Administrator in February 2022 and the PCC have begun a process of re-assessing this role. 

Martin Fawley (Caretaker) and Katharine Leech (Cleaner) have been line managed by the Wardens. Both these posts have been subject to periods of furlough. Both have been working a full complement of hours again for several months. Thanks are due to the PCC Treasurer, Mike Moss and to the church accountants, HW Accounting, for keeping on top of furlough payments. 

## **2.10 Finance and giving** 

St Peter’s continues to use the Parish Giving Scheme. As the numbers of bookings for the use of our buildings have begun to rise again, we are monitoring the overall effect of this on finances generally, after two years of limited payments. 

We remain indebted to all those who are involved in managing the church’s finances on our behalf, in particular the PCC Treasurer, Mike Moss. Our Gift Aid Secretary is Mark Davies who continues to advise us on maximising the benefits of Gift Aid, which has become easier via the Parish Giving Scheme. Thanks also to Jeff Parkinson, for dealing with insurance matters, and to all those who have taken responsibility for counting and banking money each week. 

The Parish Share position was again prominent this year. At the start of the Hall Roof project we informed the Diocese that it was going to be extremely difficult to pay in full in 2021. By the end of the year, with the overwhelming majority of the bills 



for the project either paid or covered, we were able to make a contribution of £65,500 which was at the high end of our forecasts, and a tribute to the generosity of the congregation. With the Roof work complete we are hopeful of getting much closer to our requested Share in 2022. 

Scrutiny of the church’s finances is a prominent item month by month on PCC agendas. Further details of the finances through the year to December 2021 are given at Section 4 of this report below.

## **Section 4: Financial Review 2021** 

## **Treasurer’s report for the year ended 31st December 2021** 

## **4.1 Introduction** 

This report is provided to go alongside the Statutory Accounts, which are available upon request. 

The year 2021 was slightly easier than 2020 as we started to see some use of our buildings but a lot later than we budgeted. The biggest challenge for the year was the repair to the hall roofs which was long overdue which included the installation of solar panels. We had a church income about 25% higher than last year, the difference being down to the appeal for the roof works. We raised over £50,000 from the church congregation and over £40,000 was donated by grant making bodies towards the work. Without that appeal our income would have been about 10% down on the previous year. We only managed to pay about 60% of the Diocesan Share requested. However the Share requested was held at the 2020 level slowing down the progression towards the actual share calculated for St Peter’s. 2021 was the first year that we have not paid in excess of the calculated amount. We managed to pay all other debts. 

## **4.2   General** 



The Church’s general total income for 2021 was £285,319. Expenditure was £282,656 resulting in a notional “profit” of £15,632. Our Share was set at £110,352. Missionary/Charity Giving amounted to £18,572. This was a massive decrease on the previous year due to not having a gift day for Missions. 

## **4.3.   Income & Special Collections** 

Collections and planned giving (restricted and unrestricted) stood this year at £113,544 whilst tax reclaimed through Gift Aid was £33,536. This compares to 2019 figures; £115,805 given and Gift Aid of £30,196 

Sundry donations stood at £26,229 compared to last year’s figure of £22,642. 

A number of special collections were made during the year. Including tax reclaimed these include:- 

- The Red Post Box appeal (January 2021) of £3871 (compared to the 2020 

- figure of £4333 

- The Church Gift Day raised over £50,000 when Gift Aid is added 

## **4.4.   Expenditure** 

We have once again tried to keep Church running costs to a minimum but the replacement of the hall roofs has hit that. Maintenance costs increased significantly in 2021 but this in the main was due to the hall roof work.  We have spent £7,641 in 2021 compared to £24,398 in 2020 on direct repairs. The extra £100,000 was the roof repairs Thanks to the wardens for doing their best to keep on top of expenditure. It should be added that the final roof repair bill was somewhat less than originally thought mainly because of rescheduling some work into 2022 and removing some work from the overall requirement. 

## **4.5.   Missions and Diocesan Share** 

In 2021 £16,000 was allocated from the Church’s general voluntary giving income for dispersal to our mission partners. We allocated £17,820 in 2020. This money was dispersed in December to our various mission partners as requested by the Mission Support Group.. This was a reduction on previous years due to the change in status of some of our long time partners (retirement, moving to salaried roles.) 

Our Share for 2021 was set at £110,352 the same as in 2020. We paid £65,500 by the end of the year. 

## **4.6. Deposit Accounts** 



The deposit accounts that were opened in 2008 with the CBF Church of England Deposit Fund have been maintained. In general, interest rates have become very low during the year. As a result interest generated only £31 this year. There are 3 accounts, one for the Youth Pastor Fund, one for Mission Funds and one for all other funds, principally the Building & General (Main Account) Fund. Currently across all its accounts the Youth Work Fund has £14,800 available. With the regular monthly donations we believe this fund will cope with the anticipated outgoings for at least one more year. 

The Local Outreach Fund has been renamed and has about £3,605 left which is mainly allocated for the Shipley Debt Centre. A further £3000 has been paid towards this and we have committed to paying £3000 this year.

## **Parochial Church Council of St. Peter's, Shipley Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**For the year ending 31 December 2021** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair" provisions, it is also the first year that they have been prepared under FRS102 (2016) as the applicable accounting standards and the 2016 version of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP(FRS102)). 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The financial statements 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 affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **Funds** 

General Funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and available for application in the general purposes of the PCC.  Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. 

Restricted funds represent funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds are shown in the notes to the accounts 

## **Incoming Resources** 

## **Voluntary income and capital sources** 

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the incoming resource to to which it relates is received. 

Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Funds raised by a fete, garden party and similar events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines from the church book stall are accounted for gross. 

## **Other income** 

Rental income from the letting of church premises is recognised when the rental income is received. 

## **Income from investments** 

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the accounting year. 

## **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 

The diocesan parish share expected to be paid over is accounted for when due. 

All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurredand is accounted for gross.

## **Parochial Church Council of St. Peter's, Shipley Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**For the year ending 31 December 2021** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **Activities directly relating to the work of the Church** 

The diocesan parish share is accounted for when paid. 

A proportion of cash collections, freewill offerings, bank payments receipts and tax recovered, based on the previous years figures, are allocated to the amount available for general missionary support. This is in addition to the restricted fund support. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

## **Consecrated property and moveable church furnishings** 

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 (2) (a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. 

Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC, and which require a faculty for disposal, are accounted 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.  Items acquired since 1 January 2000 have been capitalised and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life on a straight line basis. 

All expenditure incurred in 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, fittings and office equipment** 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Investments** 

The investments are shown at face value.  The market value at the date of signing of the accounts was greater than cost but the PCC does not consider it to be prudent to take credit in the accounts for this unrealised increase in value.

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on free reserves ( net current assets) which equates to at least three months salaries to be paid out. This is the equivalent of £12,000. 

The balance on the restricted fund is retained towards meeting the upkeep of the church and maintenance of the ministry work of the church. 

It is our policy to invest the short term investment fund balances with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund, and the remainder in the CCLA Church of England Investment Fund.

Respective
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
responsibilities of accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
under section 144 of the 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 applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent
examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in 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 matters have come to my
attention (other than that disclosed below ") 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 no concerns and 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.
Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
