Our Prayer for a Growing Church God of mission, who alone brings growth to your Church, send your Holy Spirit to give Vision to our planning, Wisdom to our actions, and Power to our witness. Help our church to grow in numbers. in spiritual commitment to you and in service to our community, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Welcome to our Parish Year Book. In these pages you will find not just the necessary reports far our church's annual meetings, but also reports from the groups which make up the living church here. We are a community of faith in the heart of Huddersfield. We worship together and live out our Christian faith together. As God's family in this place, we try to make our life here one that informs, inspires and resources daily Christian living. We also look out to our Parish and our town, the places we are called to offer the care for others that Christian living asks of us. How we do this is represented in these pages. There are groups for alL ages. There are groups who look after the church so that it's here for the cornmunity. There are groups who look afterthe community so they know the church is for thern and for everyone to know the Love of God in cornmunity. This year the reports have been grouped under headings which reflect our aims together as a Diocese- Living, Loving, Learning. Though there is obvious overlap between these- they are included as a reminder that we are part of God's bigger picture across our area and all God's worLd.
Please take the time to Look through these pages and give thanks to God for all the people you find here and their ministry. Please Listen too to where God is calling you to be part of this beautifuLjigsaw of service, celebration and support. 2023 At HPC-Vicar's Re ort 2023 was a year of growth and change in the life and worship of our church- which is saying both something and nothing! Change is inevitable, and Jesus Christ is our inspiration and guide. Our participation in the life of our church, our pursuit of good lives of faith together here , is a hand outstretched- reaching forthe anchor that is Christ in the storm of life. The steps we take to gather together, in worship, in social action, in friendship and care for one another, are steps boldLy taken on the rocky way illumined by Christ's light. Churches like ours are unique places in a world where much has become separate. There are places to be healed or cared for- places to learn- places to celebrate- places to meet people- places to reflect- maybe even an app for each of these things and many morel Here we do not separate the community life we lead into such boxes. Our Lives as individuals are rooted in our understanding of who God has shown Godself to be in community: Creator, Saviour and Life-giving Spirit. So we choose to Live in communitywith one another. The God who inspired our ancestors to build beautiful spaces to share the Gospel is the God who draws us here for all of life. We are here for celebration and for deep sorrow, for the light-hearted and the heavy hearted. We are here to create in our turn and offer worship to the gLory of God. As I reflect on 20231 think of the occasions when I have had the privilege to represent our faith community and the Church of England here in HuddersfieLd. at events such as community Iftars, the Ahmadiyya annual Peace Symposium, the Launch ofthe PoppyAppeal, and uniquely in 2023
the rededication of the restored Syngenta War memorial, originalLy dedicated by one of my predecessors. In May I was invited by the Mayor of Kirklees, Cllr Cahal Burke, to be one of his Chaplains- serving alongside my Roman Catholic colleague here in the town centre, Very Rev Canon Martin KeLIy. Working together has been a joy, and I hope a sign of Christian unity to the communities we serve. I think too of the occasions when in our Civic ministry together we have offered the hospitality of St Peter's. In 2023 we welcomed the Ukrainian community to a Peace Vigil in February. inviting all to pray on the anniversary of the current Russia Ukraine confLict. We hosted the priestly ordinations for the Huddersfield Episcopal Area in June and hosted our first and hopefully not our last"Celebrate Huddersfield" Civic service in September. In Interfaith Week we welcomed 200 primary school children from the Huddersfield area to explore our building and the Christian faith. as well as being part of the annual"Friendship Walk" where anyone can explore our church, the Hindu Temple and the Sikh Gurdwara. We also opened the church (in partnership with KirkLees Councilwho provided equipment) for the community to watch the Coronation of King CharLes, and we have had the joy of welcomed the new Bishop of HuddersfieLd, the Right Reverend Smitha Prasadam, to our town. The biggest event of the year- bigger even than our huge Civic Remembrance Service-and happeningin the same weekend- was the original theatre production of Beowulf. This was brought to St Peter's by Proper Job Theatre as part of Kirklees Year of Music 2023 and funded by the Arts Council. This was a huge undertaking and I feel reminded us that we have the capacity in both our building and our people to think big- especiaLly when we can work in partnership with other organisations.
l also wanted to note with thanks the change of staff in our Parish Office. Mitchell Wright, aLso a member of our choir. left his role as Parish Administrator in August, to move into full time music teaching. I wish to thank mitch for all the work he did for the church. and also to thank PCC members Diane and Tony for their support in the recruitment of our new administrator, Angela (also a member of our choir!) l also want to inclLJde here my particular gratitude to our aLI Church Wardens- both to Mike and Alan whose term of office ended in 2023, and to the new Warden team- Verity. Megan, Nicholas and Alastair. whose term began at the 2023 APCM. For all they have done and all they still do thanks be to God. Huddersfield Parish Church, St Peter's, in an extraordinary place. Not because it is big, or seems important because of our location or civic links, but because it has the capacity to be big hearted. a generous witness to the transforming power of the Gospel. The stones and coloured glass, the beautifuL things given for the glory of God by our ancestors are wonderful. But they are stilljust the clayjar. The clayjar holds the treasure which is wonderful people, made by God, here to worship God and be inspired for seriCe across Huddersfield and beyond. Thank you for allyou are- and all we can be together here. Rev Canon Rachel Firth 2023 PCC report from the Wardens The APCM in April 2023 saw the retirement of wardens Alan and Mike after a combined 17 years of service, and the election of a new warden team in the form of Megan, and Verity, with deputies Alastair and Nicholas. The warden team would Like to thank Mike and Alan for their work over the years, and their support during the changeover. Change is never easy, but the new team were keen to continue the good work of the previous warden team.
The PCC has been as busy as ever, with many noteworthy things taking pLace this year. The following list gives some highlighted activities of the PCC and the warden team. PCC meetings have been held monthly, with a welcome move made to hybrid meetings, combining'in person, with Zoom attendance Charitable giving has continued, with a number of charities benefitting, including Huddersfield Town Breakfast Clubs. and Water Aid Continued support has been provided for church members in need, as well as for those in the wider parish, ranging from train tickets and utiLity bill heLp, to rent assistance and food parceLs An away day in JULY 2023 focussed on how the PCC can enhance the work of St Peter's and prompted thoughtfuL and creative discussion The PCC has been fully involved in plans for and decisions related to the recentLy started buildingwork The PCC approved the provision of free of charge sanitary products in church. These have been much appreciated by visitors With the help of funding from Kirklees council, the church as a whole was privileged to be able to step in when the Welcome Centre experienced a temporary closure, expanding on the work we already do in signposting people to support services, and providing practical heLp Acting on feedbackfrom readers and intercessions, we are continuing to work on accessibility for volunteers Work continues on increased use of inclusive language and actions, helping us stay Open, Warm, and Welcoming, and responding to the needs of an increasingly diverse congregation This year saw the formation of a new subgroup, focussing on social events and community fundraising. Their hard work has shone through
especially at the Christmas Fair this year. which featured local author, Joanne Harris as special guest. Other subgroups continue to do important work across the church community After a breakdown in the sound system the PCC agreed to replace it entirely, in orderto support services as well as the increasing number of community events and performances we are hosting as a church. The warden team are grateful for everyone's support over the past year, and forthe time that increasing numbers of people are giving to the church as volunteers. Verity Quarmby and Megan Barford, AprAI 2024 Living our Faith at HPC Eco Church ou The Eco-church group is a sub-group of the PCC- making recommendations to the PCC and exploring this part of our shared ministry. The group seeks to ensure that we are doing our best to maintain our Christian imperative to be committed to be environmentally responsible and to ensure that we are striving to reduce our carbon footprint. Over the year we have been busy and to give a flavour of the things the group have been doing: We committed to work towards the silver eco award, having achieved the bronze award last year. We held an event to give people the opportunity to check out their carbon footprint at a Saturday morning coffee gathering. We have been looking at what we buy to ensure that as far as possible we are sourcing local and environmentally friendly products.
We held a wonderfuL eco waLk as part of Lent where we walked the parish boundary and prayed forthe environment as we did so. We engaged with an environmental audit of the church and explored more environmental utility providers. We encouraged an expLoration of where church investments were held to ensure that we were managing all of our investments responsibly. We would love to hear from anyone who would be interested in joining us as we continue this important work. Alastair McLean (Chair), Jane Bembridge, Alan Eastwood and Rev. Amanda Inclusion Sub roup As part of our church vision for 2022-2025 the PCC identified inclusion as a vital part of our ministry at HPC. This sub-group seeks to ensure that we are doing our best to engage with issues of inclusion and converseLy to address those things which might exclude. As a group we have engaged and grappLed with all manner of issues over the year: we have been working to ensure that the disabled access routes are open as often as possible to ensure access for those who cannot use the steps. We have worked to improve access to large print orders of service and notice sheets. The hearing loop has been fixed. We have updated our inclusion and equality, diversity and inclusion policies. We are delighted to have been able to provide sanitary products in the toilets. We drafted a letter to Bishop Nick for the PCC about the Living in Love and Faith process which led to further dialogue with the Bishop. We have explored inclusion of children and young people and ensuring that their voices are heard. We are working to ensure that people feel they can use the language that enables them to best participate in worship. This is not an exhaustive list but some of the wonderfuL things this group has been involved with this year.
We would Love to hear from anyone who would like to join us in this vital work for a church who is signed up to the IncLusive Church Network. RevAmanda (Chair), Verity Quarmby. Richard Quarmby, Megan Barford, Hannah Talbot, Diane Groom Cornmunication Sub-Grou The communications sub-group was set up following the PCCS 2021 Vision Day. Things that have been done under this umbrella include the introduction of the digital notice board, which now advertises services and events in the parish and Diocese, and the updating of internaL notice boards. In 2023 the group looked at our Social Media Policy and brought a proposal to PCC to ensure we are careful, appropriate and effective in our use of social media. A review ol church signage led to the PCC deciding to purchase an additional street sign to show when the church is open (based on the effectiveness of external signage when the Queen's book of condolence was open in church). An existing external sign has also been refurbished, with thanks to Mike Bembridge, and similarly the signage on the corner of Byram Street has been awaiting good weather to be refurbished as part of the Communications Group plans. Longdiscussion through 2022 and 2023 about our communication with housebound parishioners and the posting out of notice sheets has bourn fruit in 2024 with a monthly newsletter. If you know anyone who wouLd like to receive such a newsLetter, either by emaiL as a pdf or a hard copy, please let the office and the pastoral care team know. Canon Rachel (chair) , MitcheLI Wright, MichaeL Bembridge, Hannah Talbot and Tony Kenworthy
SooiaL& Fundraisin Sub-Group This year saw the creation of the Social and Community Fundraising Group. The group works on events throughout the year which aim to bring people together in different ways. This year the group organised the Christmas Fair and contributed games to the shrove Tuesday pancake party. We are always looking for new ideas for social events and activities. If you would like to be involved you would be verywelcome._Megan Barford (Chair) Crafters & Grafters The Grafters and Grafters group meet on the first Thursday of the month at the back of church between 10.00am and 12.00 noon. The aim is to share fellowship whilst chatting, exchanging ideas, and enjoying refreshments. We produce crafts which are donated or sold to raise money, around £500, at events such as coffee mornings and fairs. We also ran a craft stall in the Packhorse Centre in December and plan an Easter craft stalL at Huddersfield Royal Infirmaryfor Church funds. We like to try our hand at new crafts. and in the last year have undertaken stone painting, making wooden nativity sets, bargello, wreath making and crocheting. New members and ideas are always welcome. Jane Bembridge Loving one another at HPC Rainbow Eucharist The Rainbow Eucharist Service is a quite new initiative here at St Peter's which has flourished in 2023 with a committed congregation. We have seen guest speakers including our own Megan Barford. Canon Rachel, and brilliant guests such as Dr Paul Whittaker, and Rev Binga ALlison.
This service relies on a core team made up of: David Heathcote, Nicholas Benn, Megan Barford, ALan Eastwood, Diane Groom and myself. We also work alongside our wonderful music group and serving team and l am deeply grateful to each and every person who puts so much work into this service. We always end with a simple supper and drinks. The whole congregation stay for this and there is a growing sense of community belonging. We see a number of people who have been fearful about comingto church who are given the courage to come bythe intentionality of this service. We have seen some wonderful exampLes of peopLe walking through the door and beginning fabulous faith journeys that they did not think possibLe. If you have not yet been to Rainbow Eucharist I deepLy encourage you to come and try it and see what God is doing in and through this wonderfuL team of people. Rev Amanda The service is at 6.30pm on the fourth Sunday of every month. Pastoral Care Team The pastoral care team is made up of members of the community here who have felt Galled to the ministry of care for others on behalf of the whoLe community. Each pastoral carers has a group of parishioners to care for. They keep in touch with those in their care, checkingwhether people are well or worried and when people are absent from church the PastoraL Carers will contact and/or visit them to check they are OK. Pastoral carers keep the cLergy updated with the wellbeing or otherwise of the people in their groups. We meet together regularly. 4 or 5 times a year, to keep up to date with any new people on the ElectoraL Roll, making sure that each new person is assigned a named Pastoral Carer
We also meet once a month to pray together for our church community and the wider community of Huddersfield. At this service of community prayers we pray for people who have asked for our prayers by name, as well as praying for those whose year's mind comes during that month. We are currently looking to recruit new carers and to find an experienced carer to take the roLe of Pastoral Care Coordinator. If you are interested in finding out more please see Rev Carol, Jane Bembridge, Chris Sparks or Stephen Smith. Rev Carol (Pastoral Care Co-ordinator) and The PastoraL Care Team Our'communityprayers'will form part ofour Wednesdaylunchtime Communion service (12.35pm) from Wednesday May 1,2024. Ifyou don'tknow who yourpastoral carer is please ask one of the team. Children Youn Peo le & Families This year we have discussed how to deal with the wonderful joy of a growing number of children, young people and families within our commLJnity. We have had around 35 children and young people in our community throughout 2023. Junior Church continues to thrive and we owe a huge thank you to Ide Wise the Junior Church Coordinator and all of those who lead and help this ministry. The subgroup have discussed a lange of issues to ensure the safety and well-being of our children and young people both during and after the services. Last year saw another group of children and young people make their next step of faith at our Initiation Service. This is undoubtedLy a vital part of discipleship for our children and young people. The servingteam continues to be a place of engagement for our children and young people which is a gift to see and many thanks to head server Pam for the brilliant work that she does.
We had a summer barbeque which was a loveLy social time and well attended, we seek to grow the number of socials that we provide to allow our families to get to know each other better. This subgroup is: RevAmanda (Chair), Verity Quarmby, Tatenda Mutasa, Jane Bembridge, Ide Wise. and Alan Eastwood. Pra er Chain / Pra er Minist li In September 2023, five members of our congregation at Huddersfield Parish Church travelled together to Ripon Cathedral for a Rhythm of Life event. From this we were very inspired and have since set up our now established Prayer Chain with fifteen members of our congregation. We are committed to pray for all who need - for you, for a person or situation close to home or far away we offer confidential prayer. Foltowing on from this we have committed to re-estabLishing Prayer Ministry here at Huddersfield Parish Church. We have a strong team of ten people and we will initiaLly provide Prayer Ministry during the Sunday Eucharist Seniice and then at Wednesday Eucharist & Rainbow Eucharist. If anyone is interested in joining our Prayer Chain or Prayer Ministry Team please chat to me. Pam Czerepaniak Prayerrequests can be made vi8 prayer@h_uddersfieldparishchurch:org Learning our Faith Together at HPC Encom ass Everywednesday straight after the Eucharist our Encompass Bible Study meets. We are a diverse community who gather to build community, share friendship and a love of Jesus and the Bible together.
Once a month we have lunch together, with deep thanks to Jane and Michael Bembridge and Alan Eastwood for making and serving lunch. The community are always delighted when they are with us, they are a vital part of the work that we do. The Christmas meal is a big highlight of the year, where around 28 of us sat down to a three course meal and the group aLL got a gift. For some of the community this is the only Christmas meaL and the onLy gift they received. We manage to secure funding for this from South West Yorkshire Partnership Trust. Other highlights have been reading through the whole of the Gospel of Mark, Acts and ReveLation together. and the growing and deep friendship and support within the group. Huge thanks to Susan Middleton who has helped with this group but now stepped back and to CaroL Hunt and Christine Sparks for their support. There have been question marks over succession of this group but the fabuLous Jane Rigg is now sharing leadership and will ensure that this group continues to flourish and thrive together. RevAmanda Evenin Bible Stud Grou 2023 Throughout the year the evening Bible study group met one evening per week usually for periods of 6 weeks following the liturgical year of the church. The topics for discussion are decided in advance by the group members and have included, discussion of the previous Sunday readings and the sermon during Lent and reviewing Archbishop Welby's book Dethroning Mammon. This book considers and challenges how society and churches address the power money and finances are given in daiLy life. Films and TV programmes have aLso been used to challenge and enable our discussions.
The group consists in total some twelve to fourteen members. We have met onLine via Zoom in the winter months and in person at church- as well as enjoying a meal together in the summer. We are an open group and welcome new peopLe. Please do consider joining us. Chris Sparks. Ourworship at HPC ServingTeam Atthe momentwe havethirteen Servers in our team who Crucifer Icarrythe cross), Acolyte (carrythe candles), carrythe Gospel and prepare the Eucharist every Sunday and on other special occasions. Many members ofthe team have nowjoined the Company of Servers, and we were privileged to hold the Summer Eucharist here in June 2023. Seven of our ServingTeam were admitted to the Company. Leeds Chapter at this service. We are invited to three Eucharists in the Leeds Chapter each year and have Lunch together afterwards. We are always lookingfor new Servers to join our Serving team. If you're interested please chat with me. Pam Czerepaniak. Bell Rin ers HPC have a team of bell ringers who support our worship. Our Tuesday evening ringin has continues to flourish throughout the year. We don't always have sufficient foLks to ring aLI 10 bells every week, though we have more often than not rung 8 and have been in a position to tackle more intricate methods, culminating in a full peaL in February at Ripponden of 8 spliced Surprise Major.
Our next project is to practice and attempt a quarter peal of "Horton's Four" (London, Bristol, Glasgow, Belfast.) Between March and October we rang a total of 7 quarter peals, rang for the King's Coronation and entertained both a visiting band from the BristoL area in April and the Yorkshire Association of Change Ringers in July. If there is a downside I have been disappointed that we have not managed to ring a bit more often on a Sunday. There are a number of factors for this, principally a shortage of folk available to ring, illness and other churches aLtering their serdice times. In earlyApril Smiths of Derby upgraded the chiming mechanism on the clock as we had problems with the weights not rewinding after striking. While this work was being carried out they notices 2 of the spotlights for the clock faces were showing signs of burning on the plastic cases. They suggested replacingthese with suitable LED lights which wouLd be cheaper to run and this was passed to the Church Wardens. We carried out our annual visual inspection ot the bells and fittings in nd ApriL, when it was noticed that the wooden wheel on the 2 bell has disintegrated around the garter hole. As is meant the wheel would require dismantling and sending off to TayLors BeLI Foundry we sought perrnission to carry our this work which was organised via Buildings Group. David Pygott at Taylors was a great help getting the wheeL off the bell and both delivering and returning the wheel and refitting it aLI free of charge- thereby savingthe church in the region of £500 from the originaL quote. Various other repairs have been done throughout the year including a new th "dingle box" on the 6 , 3 stays and rope repairs and replacements.
The wooden shute on the 2nd bell has been removed as it was loose on its fixings. Hopefully with another pair of hands this can be fixed back in pLace securely. As we move into March/April 2024 we will be engaging in our usual sweeping of the stairs, cLock room and bell chamber. hoovering the belL frame and having a general tidy up. Alan Trebble, Tower Captain If you're interested in giving bell ringing a try, please contact the office. Choir The choir has had a productive and fruitful year with many highlights, and many significant achievements which are to be ceLebrated. We have also had some experiences from which we need to learn for the future, and we hope that this will assist us in our continual drive to drive up standards within the music department. Choir rnembership continues to be good. We have a healthy baLance between stuclent members and adult volunteers which is pleasing, and aLI mernbers of the choir are very committed to the music that they make, and the continuing success of the choirwithin the church, attending services and rehearsals as regularLy as they are able. We said goodbye to some excellent scholars, and have recruited some new singers from the university. The scholarship places at present are unfilled, aLthough we had responses initiallyto the advertising. Plans are in place for advertising to go out earlier in the summer term, and to a wider range of places in order to try and recruit new scholars for September 2024
All of the choir members have worked very hard and produced some outstanding music over the course of the year. Particular highlights in the year have been material produced for the Kirklees service of Remernbrance, helping us to reach members of the community beyond the regular congregation, and the outstanding singing at the Nine Lessons and Carols service, and in Holyweek duringthe Lead up to Easter. We are regularly reminded what a professional privilege and a personal pleasure it is to be participating in such high quality music making in the glorious setting of Huddersfield Parish Church. The streaming equipment continues to be used on a weekly basis, and has proved very useful, not only in making the services available to those who would not be abLe to access them otherwise. but aLso in making avaiLable to us high quality audio-visual recordings of the performances of the music department which can be used on social media and other online assets to raise the profiLe of music within the church, and indeed the church within the community. Evensong is a particularfavourite service of the choir members- a full choral evensong is somethingvery much enjoyed by the choir and the attending congregation. It provides not only a superb musical experience, but also a structured moment of quiet and reflection during the week. Discussions are ongoing as to how this service can be developed, not only within the musical context, but also to grow the congregation and the online presence of this service so that it is able to reach further into the community. Come and Sing Evensongs have provided a good start on this, but there is more work to be done, and definitely an audience to be found as we are the only full choral evensong being sung outside the cathedraLs for a significant distance.
Other developments for our continued rebuilding include the restoration of the concert programme on Saturday lunchtimes. and the promotion of the church as a venue for performances and rehearsals to other groups. A compLete programme for 2024 is in place for monthly recitaLs on the second Saturday of each month, with some people in place for 2025. A growing number of externaL groups are Looking at using the church for recitals and performances. It is hoped that strengthening ties with the University, potentially through the choral scholarship scheme, may help in this regard. The choir continues to be a cohesive and social unit as well as a very musical one, and social events have been enjoyed after the nine lessons and carols service, some of the Evensong services and also during Holy Week as the choir and other members of the church ate together between services.

Formal Reports for the Annual Church Meetings Treasurer's Report The year has seen an increase in the leveL of Income compared to 2022 of around 30/0 but a substantial increase in expenditure of around 43¥0. Income rose by £5.000 and expenditure rose by £62,000 resulting in a negative balance of £21.500 compared to a positive balance of £35,000 in 2022. The primary changes compared to 2022 were: On the Income side we received consistent crypt rent, various grants and drawdown from our Investments. Regarding the various donation categories there was very littLe change in the total contributions with around £52,000 each year. On the expenditure side the significant increases compared to 2022 were in Gas, Insurance, Clergy expenses, Parish Share, a new Sound System, Missionary and Charitable giving, Church repairs and maintenance and Professional fees associated with the new building project and an increase in musician salaries. On our Investment side we did transfer £20.000 from one of our Reserve Accounts to Redmayne Bentley, we also retained the monthLy Interest within the Investment Account for 9 months which was around £9,000 but we had to recommence receiving the Interest as and from September to support our Current Account. We also had to transfer £15,000 from our Investments to also support our Current Account. The nett result of all
the manoeuvring is an increase in our portfoLio of around £13,000. The portfolio at the end of 2023 was £327,000. Our Charitable Giving appeared to increase but this was to adjust the figure that had been agreed to be paid in 2022. A number of Grants and donations were received towards various aspects of Church activities, faciLities and Fabric The Parish Giving Scheme was introduced duringthe year and we are continuing to encourage contributing by this method. To date we have around 20 peopLe contributing. As with all contributions we try to ensure that aLI monies can be Gift Aided where possible There are continuing efforts to raise income through the hiring of the Church and the Crypt to outside organisations particularLy now that the new kitchen is operationaL. Various events includingthe regular monthLy Coffee Mornings have contributed to the raising of funds. Unfortunately the Annual Accounts were not available in time for the APCM but wilL be available shortly afterwards. In conclusion not a very good Financial year for Huddersfield Parish Church, let us hope that going forward we can encourage greater contributions from our ever growing congregation, that use of our facilities can be advertised to a wider potential market and that our in house fund raising activities can be expanded. However we must continue as a Charityto support the members of our congregation and where appropriate those in the wider area of Huddersfield Tony Kenworthy, Treasurer

Alan R Eastwood Buildings/Fabric Annual Report The Building Group has been meeting regularly. both as a full team and as a subgroup to deliver the Multi Use Space. Multi-use space: We entered into a grant agreement with Kirklees CounciL which brought together funds from The Combined Authority and Kirklees to the value of £471 k. The Highway Authority was also granted funding to provide vehicular access to the space. Initial requirements to spend £168k by the end of March 2024 were alleviated by KirkLees working in partnership with us. This ensured that the tight timeline could be met. ConsuLtation with stakeholders and the HPC community has been carried out over several weeks. At the time of preparation of this report a letter of intent with William GaLlagher Ltd had been signed and a formal contract is in preparation. Water Leakage: Yorkshire Water has issued a notice to HPC that there is a water leak between the hydrant on Lord Street and the building.
Ecclesiastical Insurance have been contacted and assessed the claim offering a contribution towards the estimated cost of rectification circa £4k. In the interest of expediency. it has been agreed with Yorkshire Water that the new pipe can be laid at the same time as the aforementioned works at point 1. Government Security Grant: A grant has enabled a new CCTV system to be provided. also additional security locks on the Crypt doors however they do not reLease automatically if the fire alarm is activated. This is to be considered further before they become operational.

Independent Examiner'5 report to the Parochial Church Council of SL Peter. Huddersfield I report on the Financial Statemenls of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31. December 2023. Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examlner The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011Acl) and that an independent examination is needed. 11 is my responsibility to". 1. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 2. Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 14515){b) of the 2011 Act 3. State whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examlnerfs Statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Cotnmission and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Parochial Church Council 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 explanation from the Treasurer and members of the Parochial Church Council conwning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden that would be required in a full audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a Irue and fair view. and the report limited to those matters is set out in the statement below. Independent Examiner's Statement The financial statements have been prepared on the accTuals basis. in accordance with Church Accounting regulations and standards as set by the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015)- During rny examination of the financial statements all queries were answered satisfaclority by the Treasurer and Adminislration Assistant. Extemal evidence on some transactions was obtained where necessary. In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention- which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance wth s.130 of the 2011 Act.. or to prepare accounts whith accord with these accounting records have not been mel.. or 2. to which, in my opinion, altention should be drawn in order to enable a proper ullderslanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent Examiner'5 report to the Parochial Church Council of SL Peter. Huddersfield I report on the Financial Statemenls of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31. December 2023. Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examlner The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011Acl) and that an independent examination is needed. 11 is my responsibility to". 1. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 2. Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 14515){b) of the 2011 Act 3. State whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examlnerfs Statement My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Cotnmission and the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Parochial Church Council 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 explanation from the Treasurer and members of the Parochial Church Council conwning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden that would be required in a full audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a Irue and fair view. and the report limited to those matters is set out in the statement below. Independent Examiner's Statement The financial statements have been prepared on the accTuals basis. in accordance with Church Accounting regulations and standards as set by the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015)- During rny examination of the financial statements all queries were answered satisfaclority by the Treasurer and Adminislration Assistant. Extemal evidence on some transactions was obtained where necessary. In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention- which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance wth s.130 of the 2011 Act.. or to prepare accounts whith accord with these accounting records have not been mel.. or 2. to which, in my opinion, altention should be drawn in order to enable a proper ullderslanding of the accounts to be reached.
