STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956. The PCC is a charity (registered number 1135070) registered with the Charity Commission. The appointment of PCC members is governed by the Synodical Government Measure 1969 in accordance with the Church Representation Rules 2011. All Christians attending the church are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll enabling them to vote at the APCM and be nominated for election to the PCC.

The PCC has a Standing Committee (comprising the Vicar, the two Churchwardens, the Deputy Churchwardens and a member elected by the PCC) to which the control of day to day expenditure has been delegated. The Churchwardens and Vicar are responsible for the day to day management of the Church within the overall policy established by the PCC and carried out by the clergy, staff and a host of volunteers.

The PCC banks with the CAF Bank Ltd, PO Box 289, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4TA and has a further account with the National Westminster Bank, St Peter’s Street (A) Branch, 58 St Peters Street, DERBY DE1 1XL.

The PCC does not have any other formal advisors, legal or otherwise. However, where the PCC considered it appropriate, such advice would be sought.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The primary objective of the PCC is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.

The Parochial Church Council Powers Measure 1956 states that the PCC "is to cooperate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical". Our mission as a church is often couched in terms drawn from Colossians 1 v28-29: we seek to present Christ to all and to present all mature in Christ.

The PCC met 7 times during 2022 in person with around 76% attendance and with the following key aims:

• to receive reports on the operations and activities of the various groups operating within St Giles'.

• to review the state of finances and approve planned expenditure.

• to review current facilities, manage them and plan future developments.

• to monitor, review and define policy for existing and planned future activities.

• to pray for the general life of the church.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

On Sunday mornings at the beginning of 2022 we embarked upon a short series in Ephesians chapter 6 and considered Life on the Frontline as a church. We observed that the Christian life is the frontline of a battle, a struggle not against flesh and blood but against the rulers… of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Thank the Lord He has given us the gift of prayer and the whole armour of God with which to stand firm. As the year unfolded we found that to be a timely reminder of the reality.

Attendances at Sunday services in the year and at ministries during the week continued to recover slowly postpandemic. The population of our parish remains at approximately 13,300. We were able to distribute postcards to each of the approximately 6000 households in the parish at Easter and Christmas. Special celebrations of Christ’s coming and passion at Christmas and Easter felt similar to pre-pandemic levels with many guests at different services. As the church continues to grow, we are aware of the responsibility under God to continue to multiply ministry and reach out to the lost locally. We are monitoring the capacity of the morning service in order to do so. We must ensure we have capacity and focus on that priority.

Through the year, as Job observes (Job 1 v21), “the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away” . In baptism or thanksgiving, we celebrated new life given to Benjamin Brewster, George Beattie, Melanie Lotter, Cara Paine, Abigail & Freya Roworth, Iona & Jude Buckingham, Bright Chianumba & Lucy Brookes. Sadly for us, the roll up yonder was swelled during the year by a number of saints who were called home from among us: Joe Fraser, Maud James, Tony Eley, Jean Thurgood, Barbara Trethewey, Doug Loach, Iona Buckingham and Margaret Worthington. The early loss of Tony Eley and then baby Iona Buckingham (who of course also appears on the baptism list) both weigh on us as we grieve with their families. The Christian hope of the good news is especially precious in the face of these deaths.

The Church Office continues to be the hub of support to the church family and the organisation of the church’s ministries. Sarah Uhunamure has taken on some additional responsibilities as Vicar’s PA though this is very much a work in progress. During the year the Church Office started to make use of some church administration/management software, ChurchSuite, and this is already helping to oil the wheels of the church. We look forward to gaining further benefit from ChurchSuite as more ministries are supported, the church grows and our life as a church necessarily becomes more complex. In the Church Office, Beth Powell went on maternity leave in November and maternity cover has been ably provided by Becky Brookes into 2023.

The work of MIDWEEK on Wednesdays at 10.30am has continued to grow with a good cross section of folk attending, some older, some younger, and many staying on at noon each month for Lunch, Light Lunch, Call to Pray or our MIDWEEK service.

February half term featured another successful youth weekend and the summer saw a bumper crop of teenagers at one or other of the M+M weeks – we were pleased to be able to access bursaries for many of the less well-off local young people. Whether the #bestweekendoftheyear or #bestweekoftheyear, these residential experiences are such formative experiences for Christian young people and those exploring faith. As usual for many weeks after the event tales abound young lives transformed through the combination of the good news about Jesus and fun and fellowship in Christian community.

The St Giles’ BIG Street (in its established slot on the Sunday at the end of May half term) was again well received by many local people. The weather was bad and so everything was moved inside: including Uttoxeter Town Band, the bouncy castle, face painting, crafts and the amazing Hoverla (Ukranian) Dance Ensemble. The rain did not dampen spirits and there was just about enough space inside our buildings to accommodate the many residents who ventured out to join in (but it was cosy).

In the Autumn Viv Saunders handed the ministry of English Plus over to Joanne Sherwood. English Plus was Viv’s brain child and countless women have benefited from her work over the years. It is very good that Joanne, having completed Ministry Training, has been willing and able to work part time in order to facilitate the ministry of English Plus. Jo and English Plus are working in partnership with the “Urban Life” mission team located in Normanton who also seek to bring the good news to local Muslims.

We have continued to send preachers over to St Stephen’s in Sinfin on average twice a month through the year and this support has been greatly appreciated. The growing partnership between the two churches is beginning to bear fruit as members of the church both value being fed through the Scriptures and grow in their desire to reach out to local people. Thanks be to God. This has perhaps been one of the highlights of the year. The Diocese has recognized the logic and effectiveness of the relationship and we are in the process of taking on formal responsibility for the oversight of St Stephen’s.

Within the Derby City Deanery, we continue to enjoy warm fellowship with not just St Stephen’s but also St Mary’s Chaddesden as a family of like-minded Evangelical Anglican churches. Both of these nearby churches and their congregations are also connected into the Derby Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship.

The Rt Revd Rod Thomas, Bishop of Maidstone, announced his retirement early in 2022. He was the Church of England’s provision to those parishes who have theological convictions about the distinctiveness and complementarity of men and women in the church. In Bishop Rod we have enjoyed having episcopal oversight that is consistent with our theological convictions so were pleased to find his successor announced in the Autumn: Rt Revd Rob Munro, now Bishop of Ebbsfleet. We hope Bishop Rob will be able to visit us during 2023.

The waiting for a way forward for the proposed church plant to Blagreaves extended through most of 2022. However, the Bishop of Derby commenced the formal consultation for the proposed Bishop’s Mission Order (BMO) in October without warning and closed comments three weeks’ later. At the end of November, we were then astonished and deeply dismayed to hear that the Bishop had decided she would not issue the BMO and therefore that our project was at an end. The PCC did not have a lot of time to process this before Christmas and will be responding in 2023 after due consideration and prayer. Having been encouraged to embark on the project by the then Bishop of Derby in 2017-18 and having formally applied for a BMO in February 2019, the PCC was astounded to have been kept waiting all this time, only to have the application rejected at such a late stage. It would be true to say that our relationship with the Diocese of Derby has come under a lot of strain through the sustained mishandling of this initiative and we await proper explanation for what has gone so badly wrong.

The earlier-than-expected redeployment of Revd Steve Boswell put extra pressure on the remaining staff team through 2022; our failure to appoint a Children’s Worker after two rounds of advertising also impacted what we were able to achieve. However, we were delighted to recruit Anna Watkin in the autumn and she is to join the staff team as Women & Children’s Worker before Easter 2023. Revd Will Eley completed the formal end of his curacy training during the year and was officially signed off by the Bishop. We are greatly blessed by and give thanks to God for all those who serve in the church family, paid and unpaid, staff and volunteer. Every member of the church family is a minister but we have asked a lot of particular members of staff at different times and are very grateful for their unstinting service.

The Electoral Roll of St Giles’ stands at 115.

BRANCH GROUPS

Every church member is encouraged to be a member of a Branch Group which meets during the week for Bible study, prayer and personal support and through which we try and reach out with the gospel. The first small groups at St Giles’ were formed in 1977, after a mission by Canon Harry Sutton of the (then) South American Missionary Society so in 2017 our small groups celebrated forty years. At the end of 2022 there were twelve Branch Groups in operation – and none of them have been running since 1977!

The following leaders have had oversight of a Branch Group at some point during the year:

David & Liz Cox Jon & Claire Deeks Will & Anna Eley Dan & Jess Hawken James & Eleanor Godwin Clive & Cathy Hawkins Andy & Ruth Horler Richard Huxley, Tom & Harriet Beamish Graham & Julie Kirsch Steve & Laura Paine Mike & Vivienne Saunders Richard & Carole Swinburn Paul & Debbie Trethewey

ST GILES' CHURCH – NORMANTON BY DERBY - ANNUAL REPORT 2022

The whole body of the church family of St Giles' are the ministers of the church. There are of course many who serve in ministry and have no official title but are, as they say, “known unto God”. We give thanks to all who serve and to God for His empowering.

There are many young people (under eighteen) who willingly serve in all sorts of roles and capacities through the year and in this way many are being trained informally for gospel ministry.

9:38 MINISTRY TRAINING SCHEME

Inspired by Matthew 9 v38, our training scheme takes its name from a national initiative to train up gospel workers for the future. Ministry Trainees serve for 1 or 2 years and Amy Cordery and Joanne Sherwood both completed their training and time as MTs in the summer. Lucy Miller stayed on for her 2nd year and we recruited Ben Redfern as a new Ministry Trainee from September.

SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding is carried out in accordance with the PCC’s Safeguarding Policy and Procedures relating to U18s (March 2012) and Vulnerable Adults (June 2017).

The PCC Safeguarding Task Force has not met this year and will need to reconvene soon.

Advice and guidance was given to group leaders as and when requested. Advice was also sought, and received, from the Diocesan Safeguarding Team as and when required.

This data is provided in compliance with the Diocese of Derby Safeguarding Policy, Procedures and Practice Guidance (PPPG):

6 new volunteers were started in the last 12 months.

30 Justification Forms were returned to the Diocese in support of DBS requests.

30 House of Bishops’ Confidential Declaration Forms were completed by volunteers and returned to the Diocese. 30 DBS checks were completed.

No issues were raised from outside groups.

ST GILES' CHURCH – NORMANTON BY DERBY - ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Financial Review 2022

St Giles’ Church funds are split as follows:

Fund Description General Fund An unrestricted fund for the general operations of the church. Annexe Fund A restricted fund for the Annexe project. The building was completed in 2017, however the fund continues to see transactions, including loan repayments to the Diocese of Derby. Pastoral Care Fund A restricted fund for pastoral care. Designated Funds Four designated funds for areas as described above in the ‘Achievements and Performance’ section e.g. Youth Group and Little ‘Uns.

Basis of preparation of these financial statements

As the gross income of the PCC was not over £250,000 in 2022, the PCC has elected, as permitted by section 133 of the Charities Act 2011, to prepare a Receipts & Payments accounts for 2022 (2021: Receipts & Payments accounts).

The Receipts & Payments basis is a simpler form of accounts, which focuses on the cash movements in and out of the PCC’s bank accounts during the financial year. The PCC has also prepared a statement of assets and liabilities, and notes to the accounts.

Receipts

Total receipts in 2022 were £168,000, just over £10,000 higher than in 2021.

Voluntary Receipts comprised most of the receipts at £142,000 (including Gift Aid Recovered).

Voluntary Receipts were just under £10,000 lower than in 2021. This is due to a reduction in overall giving of approximately £15,000, however this was offset by Gift Aid recovered being £5,000 higher than in 2021.

The reduction in Voluntary Receipts comprises an increase in planned regular giving of £10,000 but is offset by a reduction in ad-hoc giving of £28,000 over 2021. This is because of the special appeal which was held in October 2021 in which we saw a fantastic response to prayer receiving just over £28,000 in late 2021.

Other income was £20,000 higher than in 2021. This difference is due to:

• Higher income for Church Centre Hire (£2,000) as the Centre was able to open for the entire year and higher fees for Occasional Services (£1,000).

• Higher income for chargeable outreach events (e.g. Water into Wine) and higher income from designated fund activities as these were fully operating during 2022 after a truncated 2021 due to Covid restrictions (£8,000).

• Higher payroll taxes for PCC employees being reimbursed by an independent charitable trust, The Tympanum Trust. In 2022 the reimbursement was £8,892 and in 2021 it was £1,451. This is due to such taxes payable being higher in 2022 as during 2021 the PCC was able to reclaim the Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) for a PCC employee and thus payments were lower.

Page 12 of 20

ST GILES' CHURCH – NORMANTON BY DERBY - ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Payments

Payments are split between Church Activities, such as mission giving and donations, and Church expenses - generally church running expenses and major capital expenditures.

Total payments were £198,000 in 2021 being approximately £44,000 higher than in 2021.

Included within the £44,000 is:

• Just over £7,000 increase in Common Fund Payments.

• Clergy and staffing costs were £12,500 higher in 2022 than 2021. This is due to a number of factors including the effect of maternity pay the PCC could reclaim in 2021, an increase in office hours given increased workload and an increase in ministerial expenses due to more activity in 2022 as Covid restrictions were lifted.

• Other Church running expenses increased by £21,000 as seen in note 4i to the financial statements. In general, this is due to a more representative level of activity as were able to get back to normal levels of outreach and events. Outreach was nearly £14,000 higher in 2022 as the activity represented by the designated funds was able to operate for a fully year, we also had increased costs related to the Street Party and events such as the Water into Wine outreach event.

Mission giving and donations comprises £20,438 (2021: £21,785) of the total Payments, the Church family’s contribution to the Gospel work of our mission partners and other organisations such as the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE)and CPAS as shown in note 4f to the financial statements.

The largest payment item is our Common fund contribution. In 2022 this was £54,503 (2021: £47,190). The request from the Diocese of Derby was for a payment for the year of £65,403. As in 2021, the PCC regularly considered the level of payment to the Diocese. Due to cashflow constraints the PCC made the difficult decision to not pay the full amount of the request in 2022. The PCC continues to keep the level of payments under review in 2023.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

These financial statements estimate the assets of the PCC to be £690,809 at the end of 2022 (2021: £686,657). The majority (£638,000) of these assets are the estimated value of the Church Centre and the house at 211 Village Street.

At the end of 2022 cash at bank and in hand was £32,033 (2021: £62,079). Of this balance only £4,358 was within the unrestricted General Fund. The surplus generated by the special appeal in October 2021 has been used on the payments outlined above. Most of the remainder (£19,987) was within the Annexe Fund, which is restricted. This balance will largely be required to pay the loan from the Diocese of Derby related to the Annexe, the outstanding balance of which was £14,746 at the end of December 2022 and is being repaid in monthly instalments until December 2023. This means that the PCC expect there to be a final surplus on this fund of approximately £5,000 which will be restricted for maintenance and capital expenditure in the Annexe, for example a kitchen upgrade taking place in 2023.

Liabilities are recorded at £20,690 at the end of 2022 (2021: £34,348). This reduction is due primarily to the continuing repayment of the Annexe loan to the Diocese of Derby continuing during 2022.

In 2019 the PCC recognised that it did not have an agreed reserves policy. The PCC had planned to address this, however due to the significant uncertainties during the year, and the constant need to focus on cashflow, the PCC has again delayed this decision.

ST GILES' CHURCH – NORMANTON BY DERBY - ANNUAL REPORT 2022

Summary

The overall position remained similar in 2022 to that reported in 2021 in that the PCC had to maintain a focus on cashflow.

The PCC has set a budget for 2023 (for the General Fund) in which payments are expected to be £14,000 higher than in 2022, generally due to the high levels of inflation.

Based on the level of regular giving in 2022, in the April 2023 appeal the PCC requested the church family prayerfully consider an increase in giving of £52,000 in 2023 which would match expected payments to receipts.

There was also a statement read out from the Bishop that, after consultation, with effect from June 2022 the Diocese was proceeding to create a third archdeaconry. The Diocese will then have Archdeacons of Derbyshire Peak and Dales, East Derbyshire Archdeaconry and Derby City and South Derbyshire.

Wednesday 18[th] May 2022 at St Giles’ Normanton by Derby

ST GILES' CHURCH – NORMANTON BY DERBY - ANNUAL REPORT 2022

REPORT ON THE FABRIC, GOODS AND ORNAMENTS 2022

In general, the church buildings and facilities are in good condition and offer excellent provision for the purpose of sharing the Gospel and growing Christians in their discipleship walks.

Routine maintenance was undertaken to ensure that the premises continued to remain in good condition and comfortable to use. A quinquennial electrical circuit testing survey (EICR) was undertaken, more rigorous than the annual PAT testing. The boilers and fire equipment were serviced. The organ was professionally tuned.

The LED lighting in the church building was replaced after failure of several of the units, installed a number of years earlier.

In addition to the regular servicing, three sets of unplanned heating repairs were also necessary. The first was to the church centre boiler, and later two sets of repairs were needed to keep the church boilers operational. Aside from Christian worship, important outreach ministries also rely on the building being comfortably heated, such as youth work on Friday evenings and Midweek each Wednesday.

Other minor works were conducted throughout the year to maintain the appearance and function of the premises, some more noticeable than others. One particularly visible example is the repainting of the chancel step, but many less obvious jobs were also performed, and similarly white goods were repaired or replaced as necessary.

The church buildings were subjected to what appeared to be several deliberate acts of vandalism in 2022. The tall, narrow glass panel next to the door in the Annexe porch was shattered, and damage was sustained to an area of the stained-glass window in the main church building porch. Both sets of damage were repaired towards the end of the year. Furthermore, the main door to the church centre was damaged in a way that suggested a failed attempt at forced entry. The damage was swiftly repaired, the lock replaced, and new keys distributed.

The wooden door and window frames in the church office and centre, adjoining 211’s garden, continue to deteriorate and are in need of investment. These works have been deferred in recent years but their urgency grows as the fabric deteriorates. A relatively modest investment was made to the office IT to facilitate the administration work.

The churchyard grass was mown by Derby City Council during the year.

In summary, the fabric, goods and ornaments are well suited to meet the purposes of the church, and upkeep continues as needed.
