The Parochial Church Council is a registered charity no: 1134853
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. With lockdown and the issues with the church hall roof, we haven’t been able to run our normal activities for parents and toddlers, but we hope they will restart soon.
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 9.00 service is a small, friendly and reflective service. 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
1
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 9.00 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. Each weekday morning, a group led by staff and congregation members meets for an online Morning prayer service with time to sing, pray, hear the Bible read and taught, and to share news and encouragements.
At the APCM in April 2022 we had 120 parishioners on the Church electoral roll.
Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals
Through this year, we have celebrated 2 baptisms, 3 thanksgiving services and 2 weddings. We have also led 8 funerals and 5 interment of ashes.
Community Events
We feel the privilege and responsibility of our role in the community. We were delighted that this year we were able to host the Remembrance Day service with Audley Methodist Church and Audley Brass Band and the uniformed organisations. It was wonderful to be able to hold our annual Christmas Carol Service without Covid restrictions.
We put on a week of talks in Bignall End Cricket Club on how Christianity makes a difference to mental health struggles. This was towards the end of the final large outbreak of Covid and numbers were low, but the videos from the evenings have been made publicly available on our YouTube channel.
We continue to engage with the village through social media, and the sheep in the churchyard became village celebrities through the summer of 2022.
Courses
We have continued to run relaxed and friendly courses for those investigating the Christian faith. We ran the Hope Explored Course twice in the year.
Small Groups
Our small groups this year have continued to meet online and in person to pray together, study the Bible, and share the joys and pressures of life together.
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 Youth and 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 Donna Wilcox as Benefice administrator.
We are also very grateful for Mrs Mary-Ellen Williams who has responsibility for keeping the church hall and church building clean week-to-week.
Children and Young People
In addition to our children’s groups on a Sunday morning, we have an evening group for young people at Secondary school.
St James Tots (formerly Prampushers) was our parent and toddler group which met each week until the first lockdown. Very few of the families who came along were regular worshippers at St James and it was therefore of benefit to many outside our Church family. We hope to be able to restart this in a new format in 2023 once building work on the church hall is completed.
During the course of the year, our Vicar and Youth and Families Minister have had the opportunity to go into our local schools to lead assemblies on Microsoft Teams and support teaching staff.
It was a delight to host and lead a well-attended Christmas Carol Service for all the Scout, Cub, and Beaver groups in the area.
Other Activities
There is a healthy and active Mothers Union affiliated to St James, who continued to meet online, and resumed their regular meetings and Friday morning coffee in the Pensioners Hall, 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. 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
Over the course of the year, the Church normally receives visits from local school children for special services, and hosts the Village Service of Remembrance in November. We were really grateful that Ravensmead School were able to visit for their Christmas services. The church hall has been returning to action from the Autumn, and it should be fully redecorated and reopened by Spring 2023. 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 Newcastle Foodbank and Yasha who work with women involved in the sex industry in Stoke.
Pastoral Care
The clergy and others in the church family try to visit the sick and bereaved regularly and try to take Communion to housebound who request it (particularly at Christmas and Easter).
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.
Confirmation and Ordination
We had held a joint confirmation with St Martin’s Talke, where the Bishop of Maidstone confirmed 5 candidates and in the same evening also ordained Rev Scott Seivewright Presbyter.

Financial Review
Overview
The total income for the year was a little over £158,600 boosted by generous grants towards the repairs on the Church Hall and total expenditure just over £195,600 reflecting the extensive works completed on the Hall.
Total cash funds at the year-end were £49,107 compared with £77,664 at the end of 2021. Unrestricted funds accounted for £30,074 compared with £59,170 in 2021, and the total of Restricted Funds rose slightly from £18,494 to £19,031.
Unrestricted Funds
Income to Unrestricted Funds totalled £94,664. As in previous years most of our income comes from the regular generous gifts of the Church family whether through standing order or envelopes placed in the offering on a Sunday. Overall our regular giving has remained stable compared to 2021. The take up of contactless giving has been slow, but contactless and online payment have proved useful for bookstall payments. We encourage those who are able to Gift Aid their giving and in total this year we were able to reclaim £17,744 from HMRC on these gifts and through the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme.
In July we held our annual Giving Review Day where those who consider St James their Church family had an opportunity to review their giving. We sought to raise £8000 in one-off gifts with any additional gifts used to allow us to reduce the capital outstanding on the hall loan (see later in the report). We were blown away by the generosity of the Church family, and after HMRC added their contribution through Gift Aid and Gift Aid Small Donation Scheme reclaims, we were able to use more of our reserves to reduce the loan, putting aside the £8,233 into the reinstated Fabric Projects fund for completing works on the Hall and flat.
Other gifts included £315 given as a leaving gift for Brian and Annette Dodd as they moved away to be closer to their family, and £294 from Mothers’ Union for wedding and baptism bibles.
Planned building work on the Hall has again significantly limited the income from Hall hiring this year. We look forward to this building back up again from the beginning of 2023.
As we are part of a benefice, there are some expenses which are shared across the 3 parishes. In 2021 these came to £2,320. As the largest parish, St James took responsibility for 75% of these costs with the other 25% 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 payment in our accounts) and then reclaims the 25% from the other parishes on a regular basis.
Payments from unrestricted funds were up approximately £20,000 on 2021 totalling £85,550. The largest single regular expense remains the Common Fund (previously known as the Parish Share) paid to Lichfield Diocese. We have agreed to cover half the Common Fund paid by our sister church St Martin’s Talke, as we feel this more realistically reflects the ministry split of the Benefice. Other significant expenditure included increased utility costs for the Church building and repairs on the flat above the Church Office have also been paid from this fund. 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. Details can be found at the end of the report.

Closer to home, at the beginning of the year, the PCC allocated £1,000 to the Mission Fund for the “Looking Up” outreach in March.
The unrestricted fund has needed to transfer £46,561 to the Hall Fund during the year to cover the costs of the significant Hall building works. Additional funding for the Hall came through a loan of £50,000 secured from Lichfield Diocese. Due to the generosity of the Church family, we have been able to repay all but £16,000 by the end of the year retaining some funds to complete works on the Hall.
Staff salaries cover our cleaner, as the salaries of our Youth and Families minister and Administrator are paid by the Christian Worker’s Trust. Our Vicar’s stipend and other associated employment costs are paid by the diocese, covered in part by our common share contributions.
Restricted Funds
Total income to our restricted funds this year was £64,058 with total payments of £110,082.
The Refurbishment fund is the only restricted fund which receives regular donations and covers refurbishment, non-routine maintenance, and upkeep of the main Church building. This year we were grateful for a grant from the Benefact Trust and an anonymous donor which has resulted in improved quality of our streamed services. For those attending in person essential electrical work on lighting and a new projector has been completed.
Whilst the Hall fund receives no regular income, this year we blessed with grants totalling £51,500 from FCC Communities Foundation Trust and £5 000 Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council towards our Hall roof repairs. Work on the roof has now been completed, and additional painting and decorating is still ongoing. The main boiler in the hall was condemned and a new boiler has been installed.
The CYP fund has been used to support the Children’s and young people’s work. By the end of the year it was empty, so the work will continue to be funded from unrestricted funds.
The Tower Fund bequest continues to cover the cost of routine maintenance for the Church clock.
The Flower fund received gifts from the Church family to cover the Easter and Harvest flowers.
From time to time various needs and opportunities to provide financial support to folk and organisations involved in Christian service and mission arise, which the PCC commend to the Church family. Where a specific offering is taken, it is recorded in the PCC Special Offerings Fund so that it is easily identified for that purpose. The nature of this fund is that over the course of a year money will pass through it but that its opening and closing balance should be zero. This year offerings have been taken for Keele University Christian Union and Newcastle Food Bank.
Along with the Weekend Away Fund the St James Tots Fund has had no activity in 2022.
The Community Support Fund was set up to channel donations specifically to support the village response to the first Covid lockdown. In line with the purpose, it has been closed this year and the balance given to the Newcastle Foodbank.

The Church Building Fund Scheme and the Interior Decorating Scheme are funds held with Lichfield Diocesan Board of Finance for the Church building quinquennial report and decoration of the Vicarage respectively.
Plans for Future Periods
The significant expenditure on the Church Hall has meant that this year the reserves built up over the last 5-6 years have now been depleted. We are looking at ways to use the Church Hall as a community resource as the maintenance work is completed. The cost-of-living rises have impacted particularly our utility bills and bring uncertainties around future giving. However, we 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.
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 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 64%. 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).
