## **The Parish of St James the Great, Audley Diocese of Lichfield** _Address for correspondence_ The Benefice Office, 14 Church Street, Audley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST7 8DE ## **Annual Report and Financial Statements** ## **of the Parochial Church Council** ## **For the year ended 31[st] December 2024** _Vicar_ Vacancy _Bankers:_ National Westminster Bank Crewe (A) Branch The Square, Crewe _Independent examiner:_ Kathleen Lovatt 10 Sadlers Walk Burslem Stoke-on-Trent ST6 4GT _Website:_ www.jmj.org.uk/ _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 (currently in vacancy), 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 particularly 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. For the pre-school children we run a mother and toddler group. 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** For the whole of 2024 we have been in vacancy with no Vicar. We have been able to maintain our regular pattern of worship through the support of local clergy and a dedicated team who lead services and preach including Rev Stephen Pratt, and army chaplain and member of our congregation. 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 and uses the Book of Common Prayer. The 10.30 Family Service is livelier and more contemporary. We enjoy being a church family meeting together around God’s Word to pray and worship. Our worship includes different types of music (from traditional hymns to more modern choruses and songs). About once a month we hold an AllAge 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 Friday 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 _1_ encouragements. Many of the congregation take part in helping the service to run smoothly, such as welcomers and stewards, musicians, the tech team to operate a PowerPoint that is shown on a big screen, and coffee makers to enable us to share fellowship afterwards in the church hall. There is a rota for people to lead us in prayer, lead us in the bible readings. At the APCM in April 2024 we had 118 parishioners on the Church electoral roll. ## **Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals** Through this year, we have celebrated 2 baptisms, 1 wedding and led 10 funerals and 3 interment of ashes. ## **Community Events** We feel the privilege and responsibility of our role in the community. We were delighted that again this year we were able to host the Remembrance Day service with Audley Methodist Church and Audley Brass Band and the uniformed organisations. Our annual Christmas Carol Service was well attended by the village. We were fortunate enough to be able to organise a gospel concert with The Jake Leg Jug Band playing for us and Luke Cawley speaking. This was well attended by people of the village and the feedback was encouraging. At Easter we held a Maundy Thursday supper and communion, which is a bring-and-share meal with all three churches in the benefice invited. We did a walk of witness from the church hall to the top of the village where we joined with the local Methodist church in an open-air service on Good Friday. At harvest we collected a substantial amount of non-perishable food which was taken to the local foodbank. The flowers from church were taken out to some of the housebound in the village. On Christmas eve, the midnight communion service was a joint service for the village and was well attended. All the services over Christmas were covered despite currently not having a vicar, made possible by the fact that we have an army chaplain in our congregation who gave communion. The crib service was moved from Christmas Eve to the Thursday before Christmas during the Tots regular meeting time. This was successful in that all 26+ children and 30+ adults attended and found it uplifting. Monthly services in the local nursing homes are at present not happening, but we hope to reinstate this in 2025 if there are enough people to do this. A small group of residents from Wilbraham House attend the coffee morning each week in the church hall due to its proximity to the home. _2_ ## **Courses** Although we have not run any enquirers courses this year for those wanting to learn more about the Christian faith, there will be opportunities early in the 2025. These will be very much aimed at non-church folk and is very low-key and informal. ## **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** We are very grateful for the work of Mrs Donna Wilcox as Benefice administrator. We are also very grateful for Mrs Sarah Salmon who had responsibility for keeping the church hall and church building clean week-to-week. Sadly, we had the tragic news that she had passed away after a very brief illness in November and so until a new cleaner is appointed a few volunteers have taken on that role between them. This year without a vicar has allowed the Diocese to consider pastoral reorganisation. Plans are in place to move from the current 3 parish with Alsagers Bank and Talke, to a 2 parish benefice. Advertisements for a new vicar will hopefully go out in early 2025. ## **Children and Young People** We are delighted that St James Tots, our parent and toddler group which meets each week, is thriving and is always very well attended. 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. There is a Christian message given each week either in the form of stories or songs. This group is flourishing, and all mums and toddlers came to the crib service in church during their last meeting of the year. _St James Tots at the Crib Service, Dec 2024_ ## **Other Activities** There is a healthy and active Mothers Union affiliated to St James, who hold their regular monthly meetings in the Church Hall and a Friday morning coffee morning. We are grateful for their encouragement and support to more isolated members of the Church family and the financial gifts they have made to support the mission of the church and the upkeep of the hall. At Harvest we now send all of our non-perishable food collected to the local food bank, and flowers are distributed among the housebound and sick in the village. We also deliver handwritten Christmas cards for each of the residents in the two local care homes. _3_ ## **Deanery 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 grateful that Ravensmead School were able to visit for their Easter, harvest and Christmas services. A fitness class uses the Church Hall building during the week, and it is hired out for the occasional party. There has been ongoing refurbishment of the Church Hall including new fire doors. The Office is now much brighter and more welcoming after the Mothers Union arranged for the redecoration of this after water damage. ## **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 Relume who work with women involved in the sex industry in Stoke and have links with Newcastle Foodbank. ## **Pastoral Care** Members of the church family try to visit the sick and bereaved regularly. This has become more difficult not having a vicar or curate in post. Stephen Pratt has taken communion out on one or two occasions as his time allowed. Mothers Union have a good grasp of the very elderly in the village and so use their pastoral gifts in that way. ## **Ecumenical relationships** Many of us enjoy close personal friendships with members of Audley Methodist Church, and the church warden and minister have met to plan and pray together. In January 2018, the Bishop of Lichfield agreed to the request made to him by St James PCC for extended episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Maidstone. In January 2023 the PCC re-affirmed this request and now receive extended episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Maidstone’s successor, the Bishop of Ebbsfleet. ## **Confirmation and Ordination** There have been no confirmations this year. _4_ ## **Financial Review** ## **Overview** The total income for the year was a little over £104,000 and total expenditure just under £99,200. Total cash funds at the year-end were £57,074 compared with £51,966 at the end of 2023. Unrestricted funds accounted for £39,296 compared with £35,261 in 2023, and the total of Restricted Funds has risen slightly from £16,703 to £17,778. We are making regular repayments of the Diocesan loan which was taken out to fund the repairs to the Church Hall and following a Gift Day to outstanding capital has reduced from £13,714 to £6,241. For the whole of 2024 we have been without full time clergy. For many years the Christian Workers Trust (CWT) has employed a Benefice Administrator for the benefit of the Benefice. In April 2024 this post was transferred to St James PCC under TUPE and the PCC now receive a monthly grant from the CWT to cover all the administrator employment expenses. ## **Unrestricted Funds** Income to Unrestricted Funds totalled £92,667. 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. We encourage those who are able, to Gift Aid their giving and in total this year we were able to reclaim £12,370 from HMRC on these gifts and through the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. Mother’s Union now regularly hire the Church Hall for their activities in line with our objectives, and the final work on the hall is close to completion, so we hope to be able to get more regular hirings. Our tenant in the Hall flat moved out in October. There is some significant work required to update the flat and so there are no immediate plans to relet it until this can be completed. In other income we received a little over £4.600 in refunds on the Church and Hall water bills after we challenged a significant increase in the Church water rates, and in doing so we discovered we were also entitled to reduced rates on the Hall. This was backdated over several years. The largest single regular expense from unrestricted funds remains the Common Fund (previously known as the Parish Share) paid to Lichfield Diocese. In response to decisions taken in General Synod which we believe depart from the biblical and historic Anglican Christian doctrine, and with the support of our Bishops, the PCC now pay this through the Ephesian Fund. The _fabric fund_ monies have been used to install fire doors in the Hall as planned 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. Staff salaries cover our Administrator (from April) and our cleaner (until November). _5_ As we are part of a benefice, there are some expenses which are shared across the 3 parishes. 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. The PCC were not charged fees for the Jake Leg Band due to the generosity of folk within the Church family, and to whom we extend our thanks. We also express our thanks to Mothers’ Union who arranged for the redecoration of the Church Office and the exterior paintwork of the Church Hall on Church Street. ## **Restricted Funds** Total income to our restricted funds this year was £11,499 with total payments of £6,407. Following the major works of the last few years the _Church Hall fund_ has had a quieter year with monies retained in it to cover the final fees due on final sign-off of the building works. We now receive some regular gifts to this fund. The _CYP fund_ has been used to support the Children’s and young people’s work. Any costs of this ministry are currently funded from unrestricted funds. 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 our Gift Day offerings were used to pay off part of the capital on the LDBF loan for the Church Hall refurbishments. The _Refurbishment fund_ restricted fund which receives regular donations and covers refurbishment, non-routine maintenance, and upkeep of the main Church building. This year’s expenditure included replacing some of the lighting in the chancel. _St James Tots Fund_ continues to thrive and received generous gifts from Mothers’ Union and other individuals this year in addition to weekly subscriptions. Expenditure included a summer trip, and Christmas and Easter gifts and activities. The _Vacancy Support Fund_ to hold funds provided by the Diocese to cover some of the expenses incurred in our time without an incumbent. The _Tower Fund_ bequest continues to cover the cost of routine maintenance for the Church clock. The _Weekend Away Fund_ was used to fund our Away Day in October. 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. _6_ ## **Plans for Future Periods** As part of the appointment process for a new vicar, there will be some reorganisation of the benefice, and over the next few years we anticipate we will need to pay an increased contribution to the Common Fund. We are also aware that without new folk becoming part of our Church family and with an aging congregation, our income may fall. Nevertheless, it has been our experience over the last few years that even when we have had unexpected change in income, we have still been able to meet our 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. We are also aware that with a Church building and Hall as old as ours, we need to be prepared for unexpected expenses. The Church Refurbishment and Hall Restricted Funds are available to help cover such unexpected expenditure, but additional funds may be required. It is the policy of the PCC to hold 3 months general running costs (including staff salaries covered by a grant) in reserve and an additional £10,000 to cover unexpected expenditure on our buildings. _At present the general fund has sufficient funds to meet this reserve (£33,750). The PCC will review the small surplus to determine how this might best be used._ ## **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 69%. 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. Phil Wootton acts as our architect has been employed by the PCC for the Hall roof project. _7_ 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). ## **PCC Membership** _**Ex–Officio members**_ Mrs Josie Knight Churchwarden _**Co-opted**_ Dr Janice Eatough Hon Treasurer / Acting Chair _**Deanery Synod Representatives elected APCM 2023 for 3 years**_ Dr Jonathan Eatough (Elected APCM 2024 following vacancy) Mr John Slade Mr Mark Smith Resigned at APCM 2024 Mrs Donna Wilcox ## _**Elected Members**_ Mrs Kerry Boughey Elected APCM 2024 Mrs Jane Brant Elected November 2023 resigned 18/11/24 Dr Chik Kaw Tan Elected APCM 2023 resigned 22/08/24 Mrs Susan Taylor Elected APCM 2024 Mr Shayne Trinder Elected APCM 2022 Mr Phil Wootton Elected APCM 2019 resigned 09/09/24 ## **PCC minute-taker:** Ann McCabe Approved by the PCC on 17[th] March 2025 and signed on its behalf Mrs Josie Knight (Warden) Dr Janice Eatough (Acting Chair) _8_ CHARITY COMMISSION Independent examinerfs report on the accounts Section A Ind•pond•nt Examlnerfs Report R•port to th• trust••• Parf•h ￿ S•lnt Jrn Audl•y On ac¢ouni• kn tho yQ4Jr 2024 | Charlty no lrfany) 1134863 I roport to the tn￿te8¥ ￿ my examination of the a¢¢ounis of the above ch•ity fth• Tnxn for Ilx year erthd 31112 12024. ac￿unt$ in accudanco wilh rtyuw•rne￿ ￿ the charl￿ Ad 2011 I rery)rt sn respecl ol my examination of the Trust's accounls oul urK18r 8ethon 145 of the 2011 Act arml in carrying oul my examinthn.
