VitAr's Report:
It has been good to learn more about this during my first full year in the parish after my licensing on the 29th
November 2023. From an excellenl team of Retired Clergy and Licensed Lay Ministers to our Dtreclor of
Music and Choris(ers. From coffee makers to the teachers of our Children. From gardeners to cleaners,
athninistrators to church sitters, 1￿ch club staff to bakers and so many more. Each one is valued, appreciated
and desetves our thanks.
The l&st year at St James has been full as we have sought to 5harc the Good News of $8lvation in Jesus Christ
with people of our lown. Alongside the re8ular pattem of worship on a Sunday morning and at other times. our
p&storal care work. looking after one another and cclebrating the o¢c&qional otTices and an evolving pattem of
sociallfundraising ¢vents there have been other moments ithen we have been the focal poini for special cvents.
The Remembrance Sunday service ai the bridge and then in church. the Mayor of Wetherby'5 Civic Service and
a special service lo mark the Greal Sale of Wetherby in 1824. These occasions speak of how we aspire to be al
the heart of the community.
As well as the familiar patterns of worship, the life of a parish never stands 5ti11 and 2024 saw its share change.
One of our retired priests and his wife, one of our Licensed Lay Ministers The Very Reverend Derek and Mr5
Lorna Taylor moved to Scarborough lo one of the Church of England's Pension Board homes. Our Children,
Youth and Families M)rker. Tina Obbard moved on too. We are thankful for all they brought to the life of the
parftth in their time with us.

PARISH OF WETHERBY WITH LINTON REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Vicars Report . .¢ont.
Alongside endings and farewells, we were thankful to see that Messy Church started towards the end of the
year, welcomin¥ new ckn'ldren and families. We welcomed the Bishop of Ripon for our Patronal Festival in
July, ￿en she baptssed and confimied candidates. enjoying a fiiie BBQ after the service.
W¢ addressed a need to increase our Income via planned giving ￿ryth a positive outcome. We have undertaken
some w)rk to discern our vision for the next few years, inNiting members of thc congregation to share their
thoughts and ideas. The PCC began the more detailed w)rk of refining that vision at an away day at Ripon
Cathedral at the end of November.
So with thonkful hearts we gather up in these HDrds the year ended and look fonwd with hope to thc y¢ar to
come.
FingntiAI review:
Following an increase in Parish Share payments the PCC'S unrestricted General Fund increased by £11,719 in
2024. reversing a trend of deficits in recent years.
Gross unr&stricted income for the year totalled £168,970 compared with £146.592 in 2023. This incrcase was
seen across ail income categories. most notably..
a) Voluntary Don8tlons: A successful giving campaign in July generated £2,260 in lump sum donations
and an additional £1,000 per month in pledged ¥iving, without impacting existin8 envelope and cash
donalions. This. along with increa5cd Cn'ft Aid recovery, resulted in total voluniary donations of
£142,424, up from £124.232 in 2023.
b) Inve51meni Income: Increases in rent from Barleyfields (£2,380) And interest (£455) boosted investment
income to £17.174. compared to £14.340 in 2023,
c) Other Income: Additional statutory fees and thurch lettings generated an extra £1,688. bringing the total
to £9,371.
Total expenditure for the year Wds £160,736. an increase of £9,472 This was primarily due to..
i) Par18h Share: Payments increascd by £5.000.
li) Salaries: Incre3sed by £1,088.
iii) Tttley Field: MainlenaDce £1,420
These incr¢ases were partsaily offset by a reduction in utility costs of £2,509.
The b￿anCeS in the Unrestricied Desi8nated Funds are reserved foT fiiture charitable donations and costs
associated with the net zero carbon initiatsve.
The surplus achieved in 2024 is a positive resul( especially Considenng the previo￿ years, deficits. This
su¢cess is largely attributed to the generosity of parishioners in response to the July giving campaign. With
increased monthly pledges. the PCC anticipates a financially secure 2025 trom regular activities and plans to
increase its Parish Share paymeiits further. However. severa] extraordinary projects are under consideration
and may require funding..

*Dwing the year the PCC employed an organist. verger. office manager, ￿siStant administrator {all part-ts'me) and church
caretaker). No payments were large enough io attract social security costs.
*It is estimated that 75 /0 of the office manager and the caretakers and 25°/o of the assistant administratoes time were spent
rking for the wsJccr. All salary costs estimated for Mvrk for the WSJC.CT were Ch￿ged by the Wetherby St James PCC
to WSJCCT.
The Parochial Fees Order 2012 states that verger5, organists. thoir and bell rimgers ￿e optional choices for those having
occasioinal services. Therefore. the PCC are aciing &$ agents on behalf of other parts'es then providing such services. and the
fees do not forni part of the income and expenditure of the PCC.
** Wetherby St James (PB 2014) participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of Church Workers Pension Fund
(CWPF) for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pension5 Board Ithlch holds the CWPF assets
separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers.
CWPF has s¢¢tions'.
l. the Defined Benefits Scheme
2. the Pension Builder Scherne. wthich has subsections;
a deferred annuity sects'on know As Pension Builder Classic. and.
b. a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
Pension Builder Schelne
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit scheme5.
Pemiun Builder LI￿11c provides a pension, a¢cumuiated from contributions pwd and converted into a deferred annuity
during employment b&sed on ternis set and revieNved by the Church of England Pensions Board from tirne to time.
Discretionary incre8ses n)&y also be added. depending on investment returns and other factors,
Pemlun Bullder 2014 is 3 c&8h balance scheme that provide5 & lump sum ￿tch members use lo provide benefits at
reliremenl. Pension contributions are recordcd In an account for ¢a¢h member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before
retirement, depending on investmenl return5 and other factors. The accoun( plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced,
from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme a5 described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not
possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that Contribthions are
accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pension costs chAf8cd to the SOFA in the year are
contributions payable {2024.' £2.872, 2023.. £3,296).
A valuation of the Pension Buildcr Scheme is Carried out once every three years. Th¢ most recent was carried out as ￿ 31
December 2022.
For the Pension Builder Classic section. the valuation revealed a sU￿]￿S of £34.8m on the ongoin8 assumptions used. At the
most recent annual review effective l January 2025, the Board those to grant a discretionary bonus of 6.7Q/o to both pensions
not yet in payment pensions in payment in r¢sped of service prior to April 1997. and a bonus on pensions in payment in
respect of post April 2006 service so that the pension increase was 2.Tr/• (￿ere usually it w)uld be calculated based on
inflation up to 2.5D/.). This followed improvements in the funding powtion over 2024. There is no requirement for deficit
payments at the cu￿ent ts'me.
The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2025.
For the Pension Bwlder 2014 section. the valuation revcalcd a surplug of £8.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is
no requirement for deficit payments ai the currenl time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, Wetherby St James could become responsible for
paying a share of the fail¢d employe¢s penslon liabilitie5.
