## **Aim and Purpose**
St James Parochial Church Council (the PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Simon Tomkins, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church building and the Church Hall on Church Street, Audley.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to prayer and the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ, encouraging as many people as possible to put their faith in Jesus, and equipping them to live out that faith day by day.
When planning our activities, the PCC has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
We meet together at our worship services, for courses, and in small groups to hear the Bible taught and to pray. Our services and groups are open to all.
We run Christian activities for children and young people and are involved in outreach work in local schools. We also run activities for parents and toddlers.
Pastoral work includes visiting the sick and bereaved and helping couples prepare for marriage and baptisms.
We support those promoting the gospel in the UK and overseas.
To facilitate this work, it is vital that we maintain the fabric of both the Church and the Hall.
## **Achievements and Performance**
## **Worship and Prayer**
Under normal circumstances, there are two services held on a Sunday with different styles to meet the needs of different people across our community. All are welcome at either service. The 08.15 service is a small, friendly and reflective service. We sit together at the front of the church building in the choir stalls. We normally follow the traditional words of the Book of Common Prayer Service for Morning Prayer. The 10.30 Family Service is livelier. We enjoy being a church family meeting together around God’s Word to pray and worship. There’s a huge range of ages (from tiny to very senior) and different types of music (from traditional hymns to more modern choruses and songs). There’s a crèche for little ones and our Sunday school, The Mix, runs for children in primary school through to Year 9. About once a month we hold an All-Age Service. At both the 8.15 and 10.30 services we listen to the Bible being read and preached, and, for those who would like to, there’s a chance to join in saying a statement of faith together. Once a month at each service we celebrate Holy Communion together. On a Friday morning at 9.45 there is a service normally using the Book of Common Prayer. Each Saturday a prayer breakfast is held, and once a month we join with the other Churches in the benefice for a Benefice prayer meeting.

Under lockdown conditions, we’ve continued to run a weekly service on Zoom, and tried to hold a 9.00am in-person service when government guidance has allowed it. We have held a daily Morning Prayer Service online through lockdown which normally has 10-15 attendees.
At the APCM in October 2020 there were 121 parishioners on the Church electoral roll. We estimate that on average over 120 people from across the Benefice (but primarily from St James) have been attending zoom services online.
## **Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals**
Through this year, we have only been able to conduct 2 marriages, and no baptisms. We have hosted a marriage preparation course, and led 24 funerals.
## **Community Events**
We feel the privilege and responsibility of our role in the community. Sadly, we were unable to host and lead our traditional Remembrance Day service this year, but recorded an online tribute with Audley Male Voice Choir and Audley Brass, Ravensmead School and Audley scouts, which was widely watched on Facebook, and a dramatic display of poppies from the church tower. We also recorded an online Christingle service which was well attended, and shared online. Prior to this service we put together Christingle ‘kits’ and distributed around 470 of these to local school children and the folk in the Church and village so that all could join in making a Christingle during the service.
We are glad to have been able to coordinate local support, particularly through the first lockdown, by setting up a ‘parish helpline’ and a team of volunteers to deliver shopping and prescriptions to those who are self-isolating.

Over the course of the lockdown, we have held informal online courses for those investigating the Christian faith.
## **Small Groups**
We have rearranged our small groups this year have continued to meet online.
## **Staffing**
The Staff team is led by the Revd Simon Tomkins as Vicar.
Since September 2018, the St James Christian Workers Trust has employed Revd Scott Seivewright as our Families minister to support outreach to young people, their families, and to support pastoral ministry in all its forms around the benefice.
We are very grateful for the work of Mrs Georgie Baldwin as benefice administrator, who is currently on maternity leave, and Mrs Donna Wilcox, covering for her in her absence.
We are also very grateful for Mrs Mary-Ellen Williams, who was appointed in February and who has responsibility for keeping the church hall and church building clean week-to-week.

## **Children and Young People**
Like all our activities, our work with children and young people has been affected by the government lockdown and other Covid restrictions this year.
In addition to our children’s groups on a Sunday morning, we now have an evening group for young people at Secondary school, which has continued online. We hope to be able to restart a regular after-school club in our local primary school.
St James Tots (formerly Prampushers) is our parent and toddler group which met each week until the first lockdown. Very few of the families who come along are regular worshippers at St James and it is therefore of benefit to many outside our Church family. We hope to be able to restart this in a new format once lockdown conditions ease.
During the course of the year, our Vicar and Families Minister have had the opportunity to go into our local schools to lead assemblies on Microsoft Teams and support teaching staff.
## **Weekend Away ‘at home’**
Sadly, this year’s planned weekend away with St John’s, Alsagers Bank and St Martin’s Talke had to be cancelled at short notice in the first lockdown.
## **Other Activities**
There is a healthy and active Mothers Union affiliated to St James, who have continued to meet online, and to provide valuable encouragement and support to their more isolated members.
For details of other groups and activities, please see the document the PCC compiles for the APCM and is available through the Benefice office.
## **Synod**
Three members of our PCC sit on the Newcastle Deanery Synod, and another one also sits on General Synod. This provides the PCC a link with the Churches around us, in the diocese as a whole and the Church of England nationally.
## **Church Buildings**
Under normal conditions, the Church is usually open for prayer when the Church office is open. Over the course of the year, the Church also normally receives visits from local school children for special services, and hosts the Village Service of Remembrance in November. On several occasions through the year, we aim to open the Church tower to visitors.
In addition to St James’ Tots, and the Mothers’ Union for their meetings, our Church hall is used regularly by other members of the community. Zumba classes and a dance school. Work to repair the damaged roof in the top hall has been hampered by lockdown and the need to apply for grants, but we hope to make the building safe and structurally sound to secure its long-term use by the congregation and community.

## **Mission and Evangelism**
We continue to prayerfully and financially support those sharing the gospel at home and overseas. We maintain active links with mission partners in Crosslinks, Chrysolis, UCCF and UFM as they work in Africa, Eastern Europe and the UK. Additionally, we support Yasha who work with women involved in the sex industry in Stoke.
## **Pastoral Care**
The clergy and others in the church family would normally try to visit the sick and bereaved regularly, and try to take Communion to those who request it who are housebound (particularly at Christmas and Easter). Much of this support now happens over the phone or online. Most of the church’s visits to the housebound come informally from those in the church family who want to do something to support the needy in our community. Two teams who regularly visit Wilbraham’s House Care Home in Audley and the Poplar’s Care Home in Alsager’s Bank have been unable to visit due to Covid restrictions.
## **Ecumenical relationships**
Many of us enjoy close personal friendships with members of Audley Methodist Church, and the vicar and minister meet to plan and pray together. In January 2018, the Bishop of Lichfield agreed to the request made to him by St James PCC for episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Maidstone.

## **Financial Review**
## **Overview**
The total income for the year was a little over £104,800 and total expenditure just over £91,250.
Total cash funds at the year-end were £112,734 compared with £99,157 at the end of 2019. Unrestricted funds accounted for £88,995 compared with £83,409 in 2019, and the total of Restricted Funds also rose to £23,738 from £15,748.
## **Unrestricted Funds**
Income to Unrestricted Funds totalled £94,552. Traditionally, our Church receives most of its offerings from collections made during Sunday services. We have been fortunate that much of our regular giving from members of the Church family is made by bank standing order, and therefore even though we have had very few services in person this year due to Covid restrictions, we have maintained much of our regular income. The pattern of our regular envelope donations has altered with some now choosing to give through the bank, and others by regular cheque. However, the reduction in loose offering and regular cash gifts on which we also reclaim tax under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme has been significantly affected. In total this year we were still able to reclaim £14,916 from HMRC on gifts to St James.
Covid restrictions have inevitably led to a significant reduction in income from Hall hirings. (Income this year also included arrears payments from 2019.) All but 2 of the planned weddings at St James were postponed due to Covid, and we followed the lead of the Church of England in waiving all funeral fees from the start of the first lockdown until 1[st] July 2020 which impacted on the expected Parochial Fees for weddings and funerals.
We were grateful to receive a government furlough grant to help cover our Church cleaner’s salary during the first lockdown when we were uncertain of the effect of this on our finances.
Payments from unrestricted funds totalled £69,000. The largest single expense remains the Parish Share. In addition to the costs of running the Church and maintaining our buildings, we have continued financial support of Christian organisations, and our Mission partners working locally, nationally, in Europe, and in Africa. In the summer Matthew Leung replaced Liv Rigby as our local UCCF staff worked and so our giving transferred to him. In addition, we are delighted to start our partnership with Yasha, and to formalise our links with North West Gospel Partnership and Evangelical Alliance.
Staff salaries cover our cleaner, as the salaries of our Youth and Families minister and Administrator are paid by the Christian Worker’s Trust.
Although with relatively few in person services this year some of our costs have reduced, these have been largely outweighed but the cost of additional licenses and tech equipment as we have moved online with Zoom and started streaming services. In addition, regular updates have been mailed out to those members of our congregation not on line, and so our postage costs have been higher than in previous years.
As we are part of a benefice, there are some expenses which are shared across the 3 parishes. In 2020 these came to £2,336. As the largest parish, St James is responsible for 60% of these costs with the other 40% shared between St Martin’s and St John’s. For administrative purposes, St James usually pays the full amount of expenses (which therefore appear as a
_5_
payment in our accounts) and then reclaims the 40% from the other parishes on a regular basis. The PCC agreed to waive St John’s and St Martin’s share for the first 6 months of the year, recognising that the closure of churches had a more significant impact on income than at St James.
Last year we established 3 designated funds. The Fabric projects fund contains the balance of the grant from Newcastle Borough Council for the new gate which, although delayed by Covid, has now been manufactured and is due to be fitted early in 2021. The PCC also put aside £2000 towards the Benefice weekend at Cloverley Hall in March 2020 and £2000 for the Mission Week planned for April 2020. Both of these events were cancelled due to Covid restrictions. From the Cloverley 20 fund we paid the cancellation fees due to Cloverley Hall, and at the end of the year closed the fund. Whilst there were some planning and preparation expenses paid from the Mission 20 fund, the PCC decided to use the balance to send out customized evangelistic books ‘Four kinds of Christmas’ to every household in the ST7 8 postcode area in December.
## **Restricted Funds**
We started the year with 6 restricted funds in regular use, covering refurbishment, nonroutine maintenance and upkeep of the Church and Church hall (Refurbishment and Church Hall funds respectively), Children and Young People’s work (CYP), Prampushers, Weekend Away and Flower funds. During the year we added the Community Support Fund and the Tower Fund. The Interior Decorating Scheme Fund is held by the Diocese on our behalf. Total income to these funds this year was £10,286 with total payments of £19,021.
The _Refurbishment fund_ is the only fund which receives regular donations. There were no major projects or notable expense from this fund in 2020.
Whilst the _Hall fund_ receives no regular income, this year we have received a legacy and gift from the proceeds of the December 2019 village male voice and ladies choirs’ concert. There has been major expenditure from this fund again this year, and £16,726 has been transferred from the general fund to cover this deficit. The gable end of the roof has been repaired, a new boiler for the office and Comfy Chair room fitted, significant electrical safety improvements undertaken and bathroom repairs made in the flat. The upper hall has remained out of action all year due to the structural roofing issues (with not insignificant accompanying scaffolding costs.) However, towards the end of 2020 we are very grateful to have secured a significant grant towards the replacement of the roof. We are therefore hoping that repairs will now be able to start late Spring/ early Summer 2021.
The _CYP fund_ has had no income and limited expenditure this year due to the mainly online format of children and youth work.
Following the cancellation of the Benefice weekend away in March, it was agreed to refund all the booking fees which had been received. Some of these were received in Autumn 2019 and therefore the _Weekend Away Fund_ shows a negative income. Many folk gifted part or all of their booking fees to Cloverley Hall (where we were due to stay), to the general fund or to be held to help fund future weekends away, and we are grateful for their generosity.
To reflect its new name, the _Prampushers Fund_ was renamed _St James Tots Fund._ There has been little activity since March due to lockdown.
_6_
The _Flower fund_ is usually used for ensuring the Church is appropriately decorated at Easter, Harvest and Advent, and so due to lockdown had no expenditure or income this year.
The _Community Support Fund_ was set up to channel donations specifically to support the village response to the first Covid lockdown. Regular expenditure from this has covered the cost of the helpline and also on some occasions food for the housebound.
For some time the church tower clock has not been working as we recognised that the existing arrangements to wind the clock which have been in place for many decades (if not longer) were no longer considered safe. We are grateful to the St James Tower Bellringing Band who took the initiative in looking into how we could reinstate this missed village landmark. Further to this we received a very generous gift in memory of a member of the Church family so that the clock can be automated, and have established the _Tower Fund_ for this purpose. We expect the work to be done in the early part of 2021.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
Thanks to the generosity of the Church family and prudent management of expenditure, for the fifth year running, income significantly exceeded expenditure and maintained our longer term objective of having 6 months of reserves in our unrestricted fund. With the significant expenditure expected on the Church Hall in 2021 we are unlikely to maintain this, but would still look to maintain a reserve above the recommended minimum of 3 months running costs of £20,000.
We are also aware that with a Church building as old as ours, we need to be prepared for unexpected expense and we believe it to be essential to build up a significant reserve in the Church Refurbishment Restricted Fund to cover such unexpected expenditure. This Fund has increased over £1270 this year.
## **Reserves Policy**
We do not believe that it is desirable to build up large reserves. However, we recognise that it is prudent to establish reserve funds sufficient to enable us to survive a period of unexpected expenditure or sudden loss of income.
It has therefore been the long-term objective of the PCC to build up a reserve of funding to permit operations to continue for 6 months following a total cessation of income. At current rates of expenditure, this requires a sum of approximately £40,000 in unrestricted funds. The six-month period is believed to be long enough for the PCC to manage the closure of our ministry in the parish, should this ever become necessary.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
St James is part of a benefice with St Martins Talke and St Johns Alsagers Bank which was established in August 2015.
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England and operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St James, the membership of the PCC comprises the incumbent, the Churchwardens, a representative of the Readers, those elected to Deanery Synod and General Synod and other
_7_
members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll and encouraged to consider standing for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.
The full PCC met six times during the year with an average attendance of 77%. The standing committee, comprising the incumbent, the Churchwardens, the Treasurer and a representative of the PCC also meets six times a year between full PCC meetings to consider urgent business.
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
