I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. John 4:35

Annual Report Year Ending 31[st] December 2022

WELCOME to our Annual Report for the year ending December 2022

It is our hope that as you read this report you will catch a glimpse of all that God has been doing in us and through us, as we have sought to be devoted Followers of Jesus who make a difference wherever they are.

LETTER FROM THE ASSOCIATE MINISTER

It has been just over a year since I joined you at St Johns, and I want to start by thanking you all for your warm welcome! Your warmth and care have been evident from the start, and I have come to know St Johns as a church that embraces people into their family, is committed to worshipping God, and really serves the community of Clayton in so many ways.

If Vaughan were writing this, it would likely be much more witty! I know that his absence has been difficult, and it is great news that he is beginning to return to ministry this Holy Week. Do continue to hold him and Karen in prayer as they start to re-engage and work out a good way forward. I’d like to particularly thank all those who have stepped up to cover and enable things to continue as smoothly as possible. This is true both at St Johns, and at the other churches we are connected to as a Resourcing Church – St Saviours Fairweather Green and St Peters Allerton. St Johns has in many ways seen the least disruption, as Revd Pam Coles has focussed her time here, for which we are very grateful, as Paul Cowgill has settled into his role, and due to the hard work and dedication of our lay leaders. Across Allerton and Fairweather Green I have been grateful for the ready support of clergy, both from neighbouring parishes, deaneries, Bradford Cathedral, and from the Archdeacon and Bishop, which has enabled things to continue. God has been very much present in this season, as he often is in the unexpected times life brings.

As you read the annual report, do celebrate the highlights of the last year, of which there have been some great things happening! It’s also true that this year has been a sad one as St Johns has said goodbye to some dear family in Christ. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.

These words of St Paul never grow old, so let them be an encouragement to us all, to run this race of faith with perseverance, our eyes fixed on Jesus alone, as he is the one whose grace makes our lives possible.

“let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith”. (Hebrews 12:2)

May God bless you,

Revd Philippa Slingsby-Lunn Interim Associate Minister

AIMS AND PURPOSES

St John the Baptist Clayton Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent Reverend Canon Vaughan Pollard, in promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. We exist to make Followers of Jesus who make a difference wherever they are. As part of the Church of England’s national strategy of Renewal & Reform we are one of five designated Resourcing Churches in the Bradford Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Leeds.

Page 1

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The PCC is committed to encouraging as many people as possible to worship at our church and become disciples of Jesus Christ in and through the activities of St. John’s.

Our objectives as a Resourcing Church over the coming years are:

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of St. John’s Church & Community Rooms. When planning our activities for the year, the Incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

Deanery Synod meet twice a year, in September and in March. In March, the Director of Revitalisation for the Diocese, Rev Jude Smith, presented the Diocesan strategy for revitalisation; also, the CEO of the Children's Society gave an inspirational presentation on the work of the society.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Throughout the year the PCC has promoted, encouraged, facilitated, and supported a wide variety of activities:

In our Worship we have endeavoured to provide services and experiences that are relevant to the community of Clayton. Festival Services at Harvest and Remembrance have been a key element of those communal experiences, as were the celebrations of the Queen’s Jubilee , and the Commemoration of Her Majesty’s death. Messy Church continues to be a significant expression of worship, gathering families together once a month, on a Saturday, for craft-based activities, interactive worship and a meal together. Christmas saw the Church-School led Christingle and Nativity services being well thought out, and very well attended. Our Carols by Candlelight was a full house and we had encouraging numbers at our Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day services.

Messy Church. What a joy, privilege, and pleasure it has been to be involved in Messy Church during 2022. We ran 10 sessions with a variety of scriptural themes eg, the creation, the easter story, the nativity, light of the world /Christingle, Pentecost. Each session was well attended by families up to 50 people at some of them. It was great to see Mums, Dads, Grandparents, and kids all engaging in the creative activities, then joining us in worship, followed by a hot meal and lots of buns. Tesco at Queensbury have been hugely supportive of this initiative providing us with a lot of the food. A special thanks goes to all the sixteen volunteers who every month gave up hours of their time to help run the sessions. We have been led by the Spirit and pray for this coming year we will bring more families into StJohns and that they grow in faith knowing Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Penny Silson

Outreach . Thy Kingdom Come night prayer, online short service 30th May - 5th June. A beautiful traditional quiet Compline service where about 14 people, over the week, attended and appreciated prayer, a simple liturgy, the animated candle, and music.

Visit to the Holy Land talk - Kay, Lynn and Pat - £200 was raised and went to Bethlehem Bible College to support their Shepherds society project. An evening of showing photographs of our adventure to Israel, our most memorable experiences and explaining how we followed in the

Page 2

footsteps of Jesus. Followed by a traditional meal for about 30 people for falafel, pitta bread, salad, and tahini sauce. Baklava for dessert was washed down with wine or fruit juice. Pat Harrington

The Chosen – the PCC approved the showing of Season One which would run on a Sunday at 4pm for 6 weeks in the Community rooms. The series was well received with approximately 18 people signing up, and seeing how Jesus reached out to people, how he worked His first miracle, and embarked on His ministry to change the world.

Opportunities for LEARNING AND PERSONAL GROWTH

The Little Stars baby and toddler group , meets in our Community Rooms every Tuesday morning, and is well attended, often having over 40 babies and toddlers; together with their parent/carers. Kay, our lay-reader, and Lucinda, our Mission Apprentice, go along to every session, to interact with the adults and the children, playing games and singing songs, and building up friendships with this important group of our community.

Kidzone: Over the past year we have had to adapt our teaching on a Sunday morning to the children who come , this has meant either we prepare an activity table at the back of church or a leader takes the children out to undertake a short child friendly scriptural session, because of smaller numbers we only run one group but it has been well received by the children and gives us an opportunity to help them learn and get to know Jesus.

Our Mission Apprentice, Lucinda, is involved with our Children’s and Youth Ministry, and works together with others, ecumenically, on the Pulse initiative, which has a weekly girl’s group, and a weekly boys group, of 11-16 year olds, who get together to have fun, and discuss life issues. Currently a youth Alpha course is running.

Our Uniformed Organisations meet together on a weekly basis, helping the young people to develop physically, mentally and spiritually. The different groups wholeheartedly participated in our services at Remembrance.

Our daytime and evening Discipleship Groups continue to meet every week, where lively discussion, prayer and fellowship occurs. One group studied the book of Acts and Hebrews in 2022, and it’s been thrilling to see how each person has continued to journey in Faith growing closer to Jesus as a result. Anyone interested in joining a group please contact the Church Office. St. John’s Everyday a Daily Verse & Thought for the Day has gone out via WhatsApp, Facebook and email. If anyone would like to receive this, please contact Penny Silson.

During 2022 the Mothers’ Union met once a month, in the afternoon. Our speakers included Clayton Methodist minister the Reverend Albert Gayle, and also Scripture Market. Other speakers who were all excellent included, Jean Thurman, Dianne Smith, Denise Barrett, and the Reverend Pat Smith. We are continuing to meet on a monthly basis and hope to have a fundraising coffee morning shortly. Olive Midgley, Branch Leader.

Clubbercise gathers for exercise every Wednesday evening and is very popular. Clubbercise is an exercise class completed in the dark with disco lights and glowsticks. Imagine dancing to the latest hits plus some retro tracks to really work up a sweat. Clubbercise is totally inclusive and open to all ages, you can choose the level of workout you complete to fit your fitness level. Mostly female, but there are some men who enjoy a good dance too! The health benefits are exhaustive, from the releasing of endorphins to enjoying a sing-a-long to really pep you up.

The St John’s Art Group meets in our Community Rooms every Thursday morning, from 10am – 12pm, to enjoy art. People are free to paint, draw, or produce any topic they wish. Two hours of complete relaxation and general chatter. New members are always welcome. Stuart Downey.

The Clayton History Group which meets in St. John’s Community Rooms, was founded by Vera Jacques in the late 20th Century. The aim was to investigate and record the past history of Clayton, its geography, its people, social, ecological and economic and to relate that history to its surroundings. The group is open to all and there are approximately 60 members at present, with about 30 attending our regular Tuesday meetings. Many of those original aims are covered by publications which have been produced over the years including Walks around Clayton and our most recent publication, the book “Just Clayton”. The meetings were originally held in the local library but, due to increased membership, we moved to the Community Rooms in January 2022. This was achieved with much hard work as the Archive, which holds many original documents and tapes and disks had to also be moved. Our archive is available to anybody for their Claytonian research, containing items such as a History of St John’s Church by Stanley Mawson and photographs of - people at the church from 1920s. These can also be seen by visiting our website at https://e voice.org.uk/claytonhistorygroup/. The facilities at the Community Rooms, have enabled us to meet in comfort, and with refreshments provided. In our recent endeavours, we have been helped by a grant from the Parish Council. Hedley Smith.

The Clayton Community Choir which meets in our Community Rooms has fluctuated over the last year we have had some new members we have taken part in numerous events alongside the parish council along with joint events with the local schools and the Queensbury singers we continue to enjoy ourselves and are always wanting new members. We have a number of events already scheduled for this next year and would love to help more people enjoy music and all its benefits. Rowan Russell.

The Praise Band leads the congregation in worship every Sunday. We are small in number and at the moment, along with singers, we have David on Saxophone and Simon on drums. We would always welcome new singers and musicians. We try and provide a variety of modern and traditional songs to ensure there are varied styles of worship.

The church continues to be involved in the life of our local Primary Schools. Representatives from the church played their part on Local Governing Bodies at both Clayton St John CofE Primary and Clayton Village Primary School.

St. John’s Church Walking Group started as Walking for Health which it still is, at the beginning of 2022. Since then, we have aimed to do a short walk and natter usually the first Friday of each month, either locally or a little further afield, Bingley, St Ives; Roberts Park, Saltaire; South Square, Thornton; even to Hardcastle Crags, always with a cafe stop and chance for a good natter. We have usually walked for a couple of miles which has been enough to stretch the participants legs for the day. From that start a few people requested a weekend walk and a little further, so the Saturday walks started mid 2022 with a walk over Ogden Moor. Since then, the Saturday group have been to Hardcastle Crags, Top Withins, Yorkshire Dales, Ilkley Moor, and the South Pennines. Glyn Tomkins.

Our Wednesday Lunch Club continues to be a highlight of the week for many people who regularly attend. We are welcoming, caring and inclusive. Close friendships have been made and mutual support given. It's clear that what we provide is very much valued, enjoyed and appreciated. We have two teams of amazing volunteers who cook and serve a nutritious three course meal to our full capacity of 40 people. The cost is £5, and we always have a quiz and a free raffle. Our volunteers and guests come from church, the village, and the surrounding areas. We always pray before we serve lunch and trust we show Christ's love in all we do. Yvonne Bates.

Welcome and Refreshments Teams: We are blessed to have a rota of seventeen individuals welcoming people into church every Sunday morning and serving refreshments after the service. People new to St. John's have said how welcome they have been made to feel, and being able to

Page 4

invite someone to join us for coffee creates an opportunity to show them what a special place St John's is. 'Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God' Romans 15:7

Through our Pastoral Care we aim to show our love for our neighbour. This care reveals itself through a whole host of individuals in the life of the church. Alongside our ministry team and discipleship group leaders we seek to love and care for our church family in Jesus name. We offer friendship and support to those who are ill, bereaved, housebound or just want someone alongside. We also run a prayer chain. Thought of pastoral care also bring into mind, our beloved Brian Horsfall, a long-standing and highly valued member of The Pastoral Care Team for many years. Yvonne Bates.

Our Warm Welcome Space was a direct response to the energy and cost of living crisis. By definition, a Warm Welcome Space is just that - warm, welcoming, inclusive, safe and free of charge. We have had an amazing response to our call for volunteers, twenty-seven in total, with ages ranging from 20-90 years, all giving so generously of their time and talents, all bringing something unique to these sessions. We provide hot drinks, home baking and fresh fruit. There is an assortment of games, we usually have a quiz, we have had craft tables, sharing of skills and entertainment, work-space, and WI.FI. We opened on 1st October with 5 guests and by the end of the year it was up to 20, and those original 5 have been with us throughout. Warm Welcome Space was planned to cover the winter months and finish at the end of March, however, as it's been so successful, and after consulting with all those who attend, we are planning to continue to offer this hospitality. What a great opportunity this is to share the love of Jesus with our neighbours during these challenging times. Yvonne Bates.

A member of our Clock Winding Team , Keith, Tim, Mick, Dave, Sue, or Glyn, visits the tower every day to wind the clock, by raising the weights which run it. Spare a thought for them when the clocks go back, as they have to disengage the mechanism, and wait a whole hour, before re-engaging it.

Jean Butterfield is always busy, producing those amazing flower arrangements you see each week in church. Money is made available from our church family, who donate for specific Sundays, quite often in memory of a loved one.

As well as everyone who contributes to the service each week, Barry Rushworth very conscientiously chimed the Angelus Bell throughout 2022, as a call to worship on Sunday Morning. Sadly, Barry died in March 2023.

We have continued to support Bradford Metropolitan Foodbank with donations of food collected in Church and on the doorstep. We especially asked for donations at our Harvest Festival, and those donations, together with ones from our local schools, filled twenty-two large carrier bags to be handed over to the Foodbank.

St. John's Winter Shelter . In 2022, after the Covid pandemic restrictions meant Inn Churches were unable to run Winter Shelters the previous year and our efforts were diverted into fundraising successfully to purchase a "pod" to accommodate a rough sleeper, we were looking forward to hosting the homeless again. 28 volunteers had gladly signed up to help. Then at a co-ordinators' meeting, it became obvious that most churches could not guarantee their ability to comply with all the new, stringent conditions and requirements that Housing Justice set out for hosts, and, sadly, Inn Churches had to cancel the programme, which was deeply disappointing. However, by October 2022, the landscape had changed, and eager volunteers were recruited from the church and community to support a Winter Shelter in January/February 2023.

Our ministry in local Care Homes was deeply affected by the Pandemic. However, we kept in touch, recommenced our ministry there, and this year have continued to strengthen our relationships with regular services, and visits.

Page 5

Through the Activity of the Thornaby Hub we have played our part in facilitating a Foodbank which eventually developed into a Social Supermarket. We also supported a community initiative to provide emergency food to families in need over Christmas.

Bereavement Support has been offered to individual families through the Clergy and Pastoral Care Team. Cards are sent to bereaved families on the anniversary of funerals. In November we were pleased to be able to hold our Annual Memorial Service, and at Christmas we were able to support those bereaved with a special Blue Christmas service, which is a quiet reflective service and a time to remember lost loved ones.

During 2022, we were sad to record the passing of David Topham, Joan Waterhouse, Angela Smith, Barbara Blissitt, Ronald Dalgetty, Margaret Riggs, Shane Radcliffe, and Kevin Appleyard. Then in early 2023 we record the passing of Ruth Baldwin, Brian Horsfall, Marian Townsend, and Barry Rushworth. Our condolences to the families and friends of each one.

MISSION GIVING

We gave financial and prayer support to several missionary agencies , both at home and abroad.

MISSION APPRENTICE

In 2022 I was really well supported and encouraged in taking part in services on Sunday's which helped me gain confidence to eventually help lead a service and I've really enjoyed having the opportunity to do that. So far this year, my highlight has been having my own project to organise and run and to see how well it's going is such a blessing. It's pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me to grow. I hope that continues throughout 2023! Lucinda Cook, Mission Apprentice.

FABRIC, GOODS & ORNAMENTS

During the last year all those basic repairs to the fabric of the building which were deemed necessary have been carried out as required. Safety tests to alarms and electrical equipment, and the annual maintenance work to the heating systems have all been carried out as required.

The major re-ordering to the front of the church (the chancel area) has been completed and has been very well-received by members of the congregation. Some further works have been approved by the PCC and are due to commence shortly. A Quinquennial Inspection was carried out in July, and this resulted in information and advice being given regarding recommended work that needs doing to the church fabric. These works are offered in the form of a Schedule of Works, recorded in order of priority, as below:

Priority A works – Immediate attention.

Check the seating and the stability of the east gable cross. Check all the Gutters and Fall pipes, and repair as necessary. Clear the Community Rooms gutters on the west side. Clear all parapet gutters noted elsewhere. Window Guards: - Replace secondary glazing to the window East 1. Interior: Roof Structures and Ceilings: North Aisle: - Check all the ceiling areas for loss of key and remove defective areas. Unstable headstone close to the west boundary wall / south-west corner needs to be refixed or laid flat for safety.

Page 6

These works have an estimated cost of £5,800 and have been approved by PCC. Some of these works have commenced, or quotations have been requested, and are awaiting approval. Note: The major roof work noted in the last QI report as priority ‘A’ works have been downgraded. However, it is still a recommendation for this work to be completed. Moreover, if all works recommended in the QI report were to be undertaken, the estimated costs would be in the region of £300,000.

The remedial work carried out last year to a section of wall in the most recent extension to the Garden of Remembrance was done to overcome the issue of discolouration and damage to some of the lower-level plaques. However, whilst making some improvement, it was still not to the satisfaction of one of the families. The PCC have therefore approved a request from the family and changes are to be made. Your Warden would like to take this opportunity to thank the fantastic team of dedicated volunteers who make such a difference with the upkeep of the garden.

At the time of writing our Vicar, the Reverend Canon Vaughan Pollard, is on long term sick leave and this has put additional pressures on the Reverend Pam Coles, the Reverend Philippa SlingsbyLunn, Kay Holden, our licenced Reader, and Lucinda Cook, our Mission Apprentice, and all who are involved with the ministerial work at St. John’s and with the other churches in the Crossroads Network. I would like to add a personal thank you in this report to all those who have worked, and are working hard, to see the continuation and fulfilment of ministries we are committed to here and within the Network. Please be assured that while I will not be continuing as Church Warden after this APCM, my commitment and support to the work here will continue.

Finally, as your church warden, I would like to record my appreciation to all those who have helped with the maintenance and upkeep of our wonderful church building throughout the year, and we look forward, with God’s help, to continuing those works needed for the ongoing ministry here at St. John’s, Clayton. David Evans, Church Warden.

SAFEGUARDING

Penny Silson & Rachel Wilkinson are our designated Safeguarding Officers. We are fully compliant on all matters to do with safeguarding, and all appropriate people have a DBS as directed by the Church of England. There has been a change in how often they need renewing for lay personnel from 5 years down to 3 years. All members of PCC, as trustees, must have a DBS and we have complied with this. Training is now available ‘online‘, which means most people find it easy to access.

Treasurers Report

I am pleased to report that during yet another difficult year the church has paid all the parish share which in the current climate is a huge achievement and a credit to everyone involved.

I would like to thank you all for your continued generosity which cannot have been easy given the tumultuous year we have had.

One of the risks in the forthcoming year will be the increase in utility costs. We did well in fixing a rate until September 2023 which will certainly help in the medium term, however we are fully aware this will not be static, and we are expecting a large increase.

I thank you all again for your generous giving through this difficult year, and I look forward to seeing the church flourish in the community in the next 12 months and continue its support to mission both in the UK and overseas.

Simon Russell. Treasurer

Active Trust Funds

HARRISON BENN TRUST Fund [Restricted]

In March 1917 Mr. Harrison Benn presented the Church with a Trust Deed for the sum of £12,000. This was duly invested in 2.75% Irish Land Stock. In 1964 the then Treasurer, Mr. Fred Kershaw in conjunction with the Diocesan Board of Finance put forward proposals to re-invest this Trust and by January 1965 the stock had been sold raising £10,148.80p. This sum was transferred to the Central Board of Finance Investment Fund and purchased 12,746 shares. The capital cannot be withdrawn, however the interest from the sum invested is apportioned, at the benefactor’s request for the benefit of the church as follows: -

Page 2

G - 3/30th's for the polishing, repairing, and renewing of the marble, onyx, alabaster, precious stones and mosaic work in the Church including mural tablets. Once the interest has accumulated to £400 over 25 years the interest has to be used for the purpose of sub - clause [F].

H - 3/30th's for the upkeep of the Church House. In 1967 Church House was sold and therefore the interest was transferred to sub - clause [F] and F, G & H were combined to make 7/30th's of Interest apportioned to the repair of Fabric.

CHURCH HOUSE TRUST ACCOUNT [Restricted]

The Trust Deed was made on the 2[nd] March 1967and was based on the sale of the Church House, Nursery Road, Clayton (now The Village Hall) and the Funds that the administrative Trustees had accumulated. This amounted to £6,910 and was invested in various Corporations. As they matured, they were re-invested in the Central Board of Finance.

2,709 Shares held in Central Board of Finance Investment Fund @ 1032.60 at 31st December 2011 and 3,184 Shares in CCLA Fixed Interest Securities Fund @ 163.77 at 31st December 2011.

The shares were subsequently sold and the proceeds used towards the building of the Community Rooms. The P.C.C received the income of £31,263.95 after legal costs, on 19 October 2011. The trust remains in place with the trust assets invested in the Community Rooms, representing approx. 6.73% of the building cost of £465,000 for the Community Rooms.

Treasurers Report

I am pleased to report that during yet another difficult year the church has paid all the parish share which in the current climate is a huge achievement and a credit to everyone involved.

I would like to thank you all for your continued generosity which cannot have been easy given the tumultuous year we have had.

One of the risks in the forthcoming year will be the increase in utility costs. We did well in fixing a rate until September 2023 which will certainly help in the medium term, however we are fully aware this will not be static, and we are expecting a large increase.

I thank you all again for your generous giving through this difficult year, and I look forward to seeing the church flourish in the community in the next 12 months and continue its support to mission both in the UK and overseas.

Simon Russell. Treasurer

Active Trust Funds

HARRISON BENN TRUST Fund [Restricted]

In March 1917 Mr. Harrison Benn presented the Church with a Trust Deed for the sum of £12,000. This was duly invested in 2.75% Irish Land Stock. In 1964 the then Treasurer, Mr. Fred Kershaw in conjunction with the Diocesan Board of Finance put forward proposals to re-invest this Trust and by January 1965 the stock had been sold raising £10,148.80p. This sum was transferred to the Central Board of Finance Investment Fund and purchased 12,746 shares. The capital cannot be withdrawn, however the interest from the sum invested is apportioned, at the benefactor’s request for the benefit of the church as follows: -

Page 2

G - 3/30th's for the polishing, repairing, and renewing of the marble, onyx, alabaster, precious stones and mosaic work in the Church including mural tablets. Once the interest has accumulated to £400 over 25 years the interest has to be used for the purpose of sub - clause [F].

H - 3/30th's for the upkeep of the Church House. In 1967 Church House was sold and therefore the interest was transferred to sub - clause [F] and F, G & H were combined to make 7/30th's of Interest apportioned to the repair of Fabric.

I - 2/30th's for carrying on of Sunday school attached to the Church.

J - 3/30th's for the poor of the Church to be administered by the Vicar and used at his or her sole discretion.

K - No portion to be used for paying of the Church Insurance.

CHURCH HOUSE TRUST ACCOUNT [Restricted]

The Trust Deed was made on the 2[nd] March 1967and was based on the sale of the Church House, Nursery Road, Clayton (now The Village Hall) and the Funds that the administrative Trustees had accumulated. This amounted to £6,910 and was invested in various Corporations. As they matured, they were re-invested in the Central Board of Finance.

2,709 Shares held in Central Board of Finance Investment Fund @ 1032.60 at 31st December 2011 and 3,184 Shares in CCLA Fixed Interest Securities Fund @ 163.77 at 31st December 2011.

In 2011 the trustees applied to the Charity Commission for the trust aims to be widened to include new building works at the church. The shares were subsequently sold and the proceeds used towards the building of the Community Rooms. The P.C.C received the income of £31,263.95 after legal costs, on 19 October 2011. The trust remains in place with the trust assets invested in the Community Rooms, representing approx. 6.73% of the building cost of £465,000 for the Community Rooms.

Treasurers Report

I am pleased to report that during yet another difficult year the church has paid all the parish share which in the current climate is a huge achievement and a credit to everyone involved.

I would like to thank you all for your continued generosity which cannot have been easy given the tumultuous year we have had.

One of the risks in the forthcoming year will be the increase in utility costs. We did well in fixing a rate until September 2023 which will certainly help in the medium term, however we are fully aware this will not be static, and we are expecting a large increase.

I thank you all again for your generous giving through this difficult year, and I look forward to seeing the church flourish in the community in the next 12 months and continue its support to mission both in the UK and overseas.

Simon Russell. Treasurer

Bank account descriptions

HSBC Current Account 1 - Code 6501

This is an HSBC Community Current Account for the combined General and Development fund and Garden of Rest income and expenditure.

HSBC Current Account 2 - Code 6502

This is an HSBC Community Current Account for the accumulated interest from Harrison Benn Trust Fund and Wilman Clock & Tower fund.

Nat West Current Account – Code 6506

The Vicars Discretionary fund was opened at the same time as Harrison Benn Trust Fund in 1917 to be run by the incumbent Vicar. This was continued until August 1998 when the Treasurer was asked to take over the accounting.

Active Trust Funds

HARRISON BENN TRUST Fund [Restricted]

In March 1917 Mr. Harrison Benn presented the Church with a Trust Deed for the sum of £12,000. This was duly invested in 2.75% Irish Land Stock. In 1964 the then Treasurer, Mr. Fred Kershaw in conjunction with the Diocesan Board of Finance put forward proposals to re-invest this Trust and by January 1965 the stock had been sold raising £10,148.80p. This sum was transferred to the Central Board of Finance Investment Fund and purchased 12,746 shares. The capital cannot be withdrawn, however the interest from the sum invested is apportioned, at the benefactor’s request for the benefit of the church as follows: -

Page 2

G - 3/30th's for the polishing, repairing, and renewing of the marble, onyx, alabaster, precious stones and mosaic work in the Church including mural tablets. Once the interest has accumulated to £400 over 25 years the interest has to be used for the purpose of sub - clause [F].

H - 3/30th's for the upkeep of the Church House. In 1967 Church House was sold and therefore the interest was transferred to sub - clause [F] and F, G & H were combined to make 7/30th's of Interest apportioned to the repair of Fabric.

I - 2/30th's for carrying on of Sunday school attached to the Church.

J - 3/30th's for the poor of the Church to be administered by the Vicar and used at his or her sole discretion.

K - No portion to be used for paying of the Church Insurance.

CHURCH HOUSE TRUST ACCOUNT [Restricted]

The Trust Deed was made on the 2[nd] March 1967and was based on the sale of the Church House, Nursery Road, Clayton (now The Village Hall) and the Funds that the administrative Trustees had accumulated. This amounted to £6,910 and was invested in various Corporations. As they matured, they were re-invested in the Central Board of Finance.

2,709 Shares held in Central Board of Finance Investment Fund @ 1032.60 at 31st December 2011 and 3,184 Shares in CCLA Fixed Interest Securities Fund @ 163.77 at 31st December 2011.

In 2011 the trustees applied to the Charity Commission for the trust aims to be widened to include new building works at the church. The shares were subsequently sold and the proceeds used towards the building of the Community Rooms. The P.C.C received the income of £31,263.95 after legal costs, on 19 October 2011. The trust remains in place with the trust assets invested in the Community Rooms, representing approx. 6.73% of the building cost of £465,000 for the Community Rooms.
