In 2023 elections will be held for the next three years on Deanery Synod, we currently have four lay places on Synod of which only two are currently occupied. If someone would like to know more information, please speak to myself.

4. PCC SECRETARY’S REPORT 2022

4.1 Meetings

The PCC met monthly, except in both February, when there was a standing committee meeting not a full PCC meeting, and in August for summer break.

Alongside the usual business, four key aspects featured in the meetings.

1. Taking forward the Mission Action Planning (MAP) initiative.

After having being disrupted by COVID the MAP initiative picked up momentum in 2022. David Bailey and members of the MAP team provided an overview of the plan, outlining the five priority areas, at the April meeting. Chris gave an update at the July meeting on what progress had been made and version 1.4 of the Mission Action Plan was adopted by the PCC at the July meeting. Further updates were given to PCC throughout the year and progress is being made. Further information on the specific progress can be found in the Mission Action Plan section of this report.

2. Young people’s and worship ministry

Developing both young people’s and worship ministry are at the heart of our mission action plan (MAP) however these areas require additional support to grow. Matt Davies gave a presentation to PCC at the March meeting titled ‘Enabling growth’ which was well received. This generated further discussions at PCC meetings and standing committee meetings throughout the year on how best to progress with this additional support. Progress has been made with a view to a proposal being taken to PCC and the congregation in 2023.

3. Giving

Giving, whether that be financial, time, talents or spiritually, is fundamental to support the mission and vision of the church and to help make a positive impact in the community. It is therefore important as a Church to promote a culture of generosity and encourage members to give in whatever way they are able to. To this end David Butterfield presented the Church’s Giving Profile to the standing committee in October which was a useful tool to aid discussion around financial giving. Progress has also been made on priority four of the MAP plan to help empower God’s people at Holy Trinity to use their gifts.

4. Heating and energy

With the rising energy prices the Treasurer has been keeping the PCC updated on the impact of this on the Church finances. As part of the wider plan to work towards the Church of England’s target of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 the PCC gave approval for the fabric committee to start the process for solar panels on the roof. An area of ongoing discussion at PCC and fabric committee is the church heating and in particular the heating controls. There has been improvement in the heating with the system being fully serviced and progress being made in replacing the building management system. Further information on the heating and solar panels can be found in the Church Building Maintenance and Repair section of this report.

HOLY TRINITY, RIPON

In October and November standing committee meetings were held as well as the full PCC meetings in those months. At the November standing committee it was agreed that a proposal would be taken to the December PCC meeting that the meetings in 2023 alternate monthly between PCC and standing committee. This was agreed at the December PCC meeting with a view to starting in January with a PCC meeting and alternating from then.

After the APCM in April, there was a meeting of the PCC in May, at which new members were welcomed, officers were appointed and sub committees confirmed.

4.2 Membership

Churchwardens

Dan Metcalfe was elected for his 2nd year.
Jared (Jed) Bates was elected for his 1st year.

Nick Pearce stepped down as churchwarden and he was thanked for his valuable work over the last five years by Chris at the APCM in April.

At the APCM Helen Wilks was elected as a new member and Barry Crompton and Ruth Abel were both elected for a second term. Following the APCM Elliot Bennington was appointed to the PCC at the May meeting.
Chris gave thanks at the APCM to Richard Graham who stepped down from the PCC.

4.3 Other aspects of 2022

Training

PCC members have made good progress in completing the statutory safeguarding training including the ‘Domestic Abuse - Raising Awareness’ training.
Richard Langley, as Parish Safeguarding Officer, attended C3 Safeguarding Leadership training.
Jed Bates, in his capacity as a Churchwarden and CAP liaison, as well as the safeguarding training attended a number of courses as follows:
Diocese - Basic Church Warden
- Mission and Growth
CofE - Fire Marshall
Christians Against Poverty - Life Skills Manager
Dan Metcalfe, in his capacity as a Churchwarden, as well as the safeguarding training also attended a Fire Marshall course.

Renew Ripon

Renew Ripon was launched in April for anyone who feels they might be struggling with life: loneliness, isolation, anxiety, confidence. It provides local people with a quiet shared space to have a cuppa, a chat or try some mindful or reflective activities. It runs between 11.30 am and 1 .30 pm on a Monday or between 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm on a Tuesday. It is continuing to be a resounding success with excellent feedback being received.

5. MISSION ACTION PLANNING REPORT 2022

Version 1.4 of the Mission Action Plan was adopted by the PCC with enthusiasm on 11 July 2022. There was a little concern that the plan may be too ambitious and the MAP group were asked to prioritise within the 5 Priority Areas - which is implicit in the ‘Start and Completion Dates’ anyway.

The following was discussed at a meeting of the MAP group on the 15th September 2022:

Worked through the 5 Priority Areas to note progress and next actions. The group noted that planning for a joint survey should begin and a decision made about timing.
Discussed how the PCC - which is responsible for the plan - should ensure that it is implemented. It was recommended to the PCC that the Priority Area Leaders should take responsibility for driving the implementation of Tasks/Objectives. Group members to approach those who worked with them on the Priority Areas to check that they would be willing to continue.
Agreed to recommend to the PCC that there is a report on MAP progress at every meeting. Ann Sture offered to be the ‘MAP Champion’ on the PCC, ensuring that reports would happen and prompt the PCC to ensure progress is being made.
Recommended that the Steering Group is superseded by quarterly meeting of the Priority Group Leaders, with Ann to ensure those take place. David Bailey stepped down from the facilitator/joint.
Recommended that there is an event as soon as possible following the meeting to share the MAP with the congregation after a Sunday morning service with a BYO or Bring and Share lunch
Recommended that the PCC should ensure that a further cycle of Mission Action Planning is put in hand by Easter 2024.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PCC

Ann Sture to be ‘MAP Champion’ on the PCC
Progress reports to every meeting.
Priority Area Leaders to be responsible for implementation of the MAP, meeting altogether quarterly and superseding the Steering Group.
PCC to prioritise Priority Area 3 objectives (1,3,4,5)(appointment of co-ordinators).
To hold a Sunday lunch event to share the MAP with the congregation
Further MAP cycle to begin by Easter 2024.

6. CHURCH BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR REPORT 2022

Fabric Team

The Fabric Team met seven times during 2022 and the Health & Safety Team met twice.

work was on the Church roof clearing the gutters and checking on slipped slates. Also a small team replaced the bulb and filters in OHP, on the D ring, which had got a bit dim.

Gas Boiler and Heating

The boilers were serviced by Byfield Heating and the system drained, flushed and refilled with the correct level of chemical inhibiter. The pressure vessel was tested and certified. The dump heat loop was extended to include the Air Handling Unit as well as the coffee area and corridor, which now enables us to turn down these radiators, as they get too hot to touch. The Building Management System (BMS), by which we programme the heating system, is failing and needs to be replaced in 2023 during the summer.

Fire Alarm and Extinguishers

The fire alarms and fire extinguishers were serviced in November.

Quinquennial Inspection

The quinquennial inspection was carried out by Richard Crooks in 2020 there were no serious defects but the Fabric team have been working through the report to carry out any outstanding defects. As part of this remedial work Hambleton Roofing did some work on the roof replacing slipped slates and repointing on the parapet wall. Richard Crooks died in 2022 and so we will have to appoint a new Architect, his son has taken over the practice and so this is an option.

Work Party

There were two Work Parties during the year in April the main work was on the car park removing the trip hazards. In July the main

Renewable Energy

In 2021 we received a grant from the Rural Community Energy Fund for a feasibility study and in 2022 we applied for a second phase grant for design but were unsuccessful. We are still towards the Church of England’s target of become carbon neutral by 2030. We are investigating the installation of PV panels on the roof and loft insulation as well as Air Source Heat Pumps.

Streaming Church Services

We continue streaming of the services because some members of the congregation have come to depend on it. The maintenance and update of this has been added to the programme.

Storage Spaces

The Tower Room and Store Room off the Church Porch have had racking and shelves fitted in them.

Lighting and Power

We have installed LED flood light on the carpark and LED lights in the offices. Sockets have been installed in the hatch to the coffee area and the room 5 cupboard for a freezer.

Swift Nesting Boxes

Swift nesting boxes were installed in the bell tower in time for spring 2022 nesting. The boxes were installed behind the louvres on the west side of the tower.

7. TREASURER’S REPORT 2022

It seems that the old maxim, ‘the only thing that is constant is change’ runs true for the management of finances at Holy Trinity. With this in mind, I would like to start the treasurer’s report by saying a particular thank you to Sue I’Anson. Sue stepped in on a temporary basis five years ago to assist our previous treasurer with the bookkeeping. She has done an excellent job of looking after the general accounts since then and was pleased to be able to pass them on in good order to Catherine Pearce in the Summer of 2022. Catherine was already part of the finance team which made the transition a very smooth one. Thank you, Catherine, for taking this on.

Income

Overall income for 2022 was down by 9.6% on 2021. There are a number of elements which account for this. The largest reduction is from planned giving income was down 11.2%, a reduction of £14,492.90. this was further compounded by some of the gift aid claim being delayed until early in the financial year beginning January 2023. It is important to note that planned giving for which we cannot claim gift aid has increased slightly which suggests that, as a percentage, the number of retired people who give to Trinity is increasing. Income from church lettings has come back well since the pandemic and here we have seen an increase of £8077.75.

Expenditure

We have a range of fixed and controllable costs to manage through the year. Our fixed costs primarily include staff wages and insurance policies. Our variable costs include such things as heating, lighting and any repairs and renewals. These costs have been controlled very well in 2022. Fixed and renewal costs reduced by 8.85% on the previous year which is a remarkable result given the increase in inflation during 2022. It is worth noting that we have benefitted from a fixed price energy contract which was previously negotiated by the fabric team.

This contract comes to an end in 2023 and will impact on future finances.

The reduction in overall income meant that our payment to the diocese was reduced. We did however still pay a parish share of £90,000 in 2022.

The arches project came to an end in the last quarter of 2021 however the final payments are accounted for in the accounts for 2022.

Restricted v Unrestricted Income

Part of the calculation for the diocesan share is based on the amount of Unrestricted Income received by the church. In this financial year we have an Unrestricted Income of £186,144. This figure will be used to calculate our payment to the diocese for 2025 which means that our maximum share request for 2025 will be 80% of the unrestricted income, which is £148,915.

A Final Thanks

Our finance and administration processes run well at Holy Trinity this is particularly due to the diligence and hard work of Sue I’Anson, Catherine Pearce and John Housley. As Treasurer I would particularly like to express my support and thanks for making my job so much easier and to our congregation for their generous giving in these difficult financial times.

9. YOUTH AND CHILDREN’S REPORT 2022

I am thankful to God for guiding us and keeping us as a church over this last year. Again, it is our fantastic volunteers who work so hard making our programme such a success, without them none of this could happen. Our programme this last year has consisted of:

Family church
Breakfast club
Little Fishes
Tea and Tots
Collective Worships
• Open the book
Hang out
• Youth service
Chill out
Walk and Talk
Messy Church
Messy Boost
After school Worship Club in the Junior school
• Urban Saints Lunchtime Club at the Grammar school

In my report this year I want to focus on a few of these areas. But, of course, if you have any questions about the rest of our programme, please do not hesitate to speak to me or drop me an email on matt.davies@holytrinityripon.org.uk

Family Church.

Family church is some of the fruit from COVID. Born out of a desire to worship God when churches were under such strict guidelines, yet you could meet your friends for a coffee, Family church started out as a Café style worship and has grown from there. We regularly get over 60 people coming and it is all about being a church family pursuing the presence of God. Moving forward we have some growth problems to address. Managing the growth of family church in a way that God wants for its next season is vitally important, keeping Jesus at the centre. Please pray for the leadership of family church that we will follow God’s plan for it.

Messy Boost

Messy boost was our summer event. Having previously run a traditional boost, this year we did not have enough volunteers to run a traditional one. However; we took the model of Messy Church and combined it with Boost and we were able to do this and it was great to see. In 2023 we hope to run a traditional Boost as well as a Messy Boost!

Urban Saints

A huge thanks goes to Claire-Lees Harrison, who has been essential, along with Karen Fowlers, and their amazing creativity in making this happen. We regularly have over 100 children at our lunchtime Christian union club in the Grammar school – this is simply amazing.

Please continue to pray for our children and young people, we have so much to be thankful for. I am extremely excited for what God has planned for us in 2023.
