## **Aims and Purposes** 

St Oswald’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent 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 and Church Hall of St Oswald’s, Fulford, York. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The life of St Oswald’s continues to run against the backcloth of the strap line - ‘Know God, Make Him Known’. The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community here at St Oswald’s. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

When planning our activities each year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. And so, we aim to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

- worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing knowledge and trust in Jesus 

- provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish 

- missionary and outreach work. 

Our vicar, Rev. Terence McDonough was on sick leave until March 2021 when he retired. The Rev. Canon Sue Sherriff was appointed as curate to Rev. Terence McDonough in August 2020 and on 1[st] July 2021 was licensed as priest in charge (interim minister). 

As in 2020, we have spent much of the year responding to the Covid 19 pandemic. In November 2020, in response to the second national lockdown, the PCC closed its church and hall buildings in accordance with governmental and Church of England lockdown guidance. Church services were again held on zoom. The church building re-opened for services on Sunday 28[th] March. The PCC supported Rev. Canon Sue Sheriff to amend the risk assessment and, in accordance with Church of England Covid guidance, ensured social distancing and infection control measures were in place. 

During the year the PCC approved the purchase of a camera and other equipment to enable services to be live streamed to those who did not or could not attend services in person. Internet connections in the church and church hall went live in April and in May our first service was live streamed. Sunday morning services and other key services in the church calendar are now live streamed on the church’s YouTube channel. This is appreciated by both the congregation who can’t attend services in person and the wider community. Our Christingle service attracted 53 views.

## **Worship and Prayer** 

In response to the pandemic, services were held on zoom at the start of the year. From Palm Sunday, Sunday morning services re-commenced in the church building. Rev. Canon Sue Sherriff was supported by Jackie Tuvey-Smith, Joanne Poole and Malcolm Poole our Recognised Parish Assistants. Services were also live streamed from May. 

We adapted well to the various pandemic restrictions during the year. From March to September a booking system enabled numbers to be managed within safe limits. On 23rd March we opened the church for the national day of reflection - handing out daffodils as people left. We had an outdoor service on the afternoon of Pentecost in May so that we could enjoy the singing of hymns, when a number of testimonies were given. 

We welcomed Key Stage ll children back into church for their harvest celebration where the children conducted an amazing service, sang songs, performed a play and Rev. Canon Sue Sheriff gave a very interactive talk!  The Primary school also contributed food and toiletries to our harvest collection. The food collected was gratefully received by the former rough sleepers housed in Ordnance Lane. 

The Service of Remembrance was attended by a significant number of representatives from the Military and British Legion.  For the Christingle services Christingle kits were distributed from church to the community and to the school. Two services were held with limited numbers and the 4pm service was live streamed and received 53 views. After a request from the community for carol singing, a group of 8 had great fun carol singing and visiting those who could not get out as much. 

Lent in a bag resources were distributed to the congregation with a theme for each week in Lent. Connect groups also followed the theme in their virtual meetings. 

In September the church followed the Holy Habits series Making More Disciples with Connect groups using more in depth material to support their study. 

The church WhatsApp group continues to be used for prayer and the prayer chain was used to respond to individual prayer requests. 

We realised that the church gardens were a place where people could visit even when the church was closed. The prayer tree became a focus for prayers and for people to read, rest and meditate in a safe socially distanced way. 

We have maintained a strong presence on line reaching out to the wider community via our webpage, weekly contributions to the church Facebook page and the Fulford community page.  Our YouTube channel has live streamed services weekly since May 2021 - our highest numbers of views being 84 on Sunday 29 August, and the first of our two Christingle services receiving 53 views - each viewing representing a household.

## **Pastoral Care** 

**Residential Care homes** Rev. Canon Sue Sheriff was able to resume a small number of home visits to congregation members during 2021 as well as in person visits to nursing homes in the parish.  Communion was taken on a number of occasions to nursing home residents including Bishop David Galliford who sadly died later in the year, his funeral conducted at St Oswald's jointly by Rev. Canon Sue Sheriff and Bishop Glyn Webster.  A service of readings and carols was held at Ouse View, a nursing home in our parish.  We also enjoyed welcoming members from various homes across the parish to our church services. 

**Bereavement support** The day after the death of Prince Phillip the church was opened for anybody who wished to come and pay their respects and say a prayer.  In November we invited all the families we had contact with, who had been bereaved over the last two years to church for a service of Remembering and Thanksgiving.  This was very well attended. 

**Schools work** Andrew Wilson and Rev. Canon Sue Sheriff served as school governors at Fulford St Oswald’s CE primary school. Rev. Canon Sue Sheriff has conducted several in person collective worships with the whole school.  St Oswald's Church contributed towards and featured in a professionally printed hard back book of the school's history and we were present with one of the limited copies. The Archbishop of York and his wife attended a celebration dedicating a bench built round the school’s foundation stone and featuring ceramic tiles produced by the children. 

The church offered the parish a shopping and prescription service which continued during 2021 until it was no longer needed. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

Our Deanery representatives have engaged with the Synodical system that links the local parish to the Deanery and the Diocese. 

## **Project 150+ report** 

The repair and renovation of the Rose Window, largely funded through a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, was delayed by the pandemic but completed in January 2021. Due to the pandemic, the Heritage Lottery Fund agreed to an extension of the completion deadline for the community education project, which was a condition of the grant award. This will now be completed in the first half of 2022. In November 2020 work began to remove the side pews, install new flooring and perimeter heating. This work was fully completed early in 2021. 

The congregation responded very generously to an appeal to fund the repair and restoration of the roof in 2021. This combined with grants received from the National Churches Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation, in addition to the remainder of the 150+ restricted and designated accounts, meant that the PCC could approve work to commence on the roof in July 2021. We are very grateful to Michael Courcier who oversaw the building works and 

5 



chaired the project 150+ work until he stepped down in March 2021. Michael Courcier continues to oversee the roof repair and restoration. Suzanne Esson has taken over as the chair of the project 150+ group and we are very grateful to her for that. 

In November 2021 the main heating in church was declared unsafe and had to be shut down. Options are being considered for its replacement. A maintenance plan for the church and the church hall is also being considered and adopted by the PCC. 

Other future phases of the building project will include the installation of kitchen and toilet facilities in the church and a re-design and maintenance of the church hall to improve the space and make it more functional and up to date. 

## **Mission and Evangelism** 

This year we supported three charities through our annual giving programme; Mission to Seafarers, SASH (preventing youth homelessness) and the Barnabas Fund. We held a service dedicated to seafarers followed by a cake stall the proceeds of which went to Mission to Searfarers. Rev. Gill Smith-Riley outlined the work of the Barnabas Fund to the congregation. Several members of the congregation receive the Barnabas prayer diary monthly. 

We were also very fortunate to be joined by a small group of Iranian asylum seekers who were staying in a hotel in York as part of the Government’s resettlement scheme. At first they joined our services online. When services resumed, they walked many miles to join us in person. We feel enriched by this experience. It opened our eyes to the situations for other Christians throughout the world as well as the plight of refugees and asylum seekers 

We encouraged the congregation to support the DEC appeals during 2021. 

## **Financial Review** 

The total receipts for the parish’s unrestricted funds for 2021 were £118,208, £47,380 more than 2020. In a year that was impacted for many months by Covid-19 and the restrictions necessary to limit the impact in our communities this parish has fared reasonably well. The majority of the income was from some legacies (£45,937), with planned giving at £38,902, down again just over £1,600 from the previous full year. There were no fairs and café income during 2021. Hall rent was only £1,472 as it was closed to users for most of the year; however, there was an increase in occasional offices as restrictions were slowly lifted.  We have manage to keep up with the Gift Aid and Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS) claims during the year, the last claim for quarter 4 being made in Jan 2022 (to appear in 2022 accounts). The accounts show just over £9,000 being received from HMRC for Quarter 4 2020 to quarter 3 2021. 

Outgoings have dropped by £5,345 compared to 2020 being a total of £71,388. The largest part of the outgoings, £45,000 was made as the Freewill giving towards the cost of the stipendiary, clergy housing, clergy training, and costs of the support services provided by the Diocese.   The church gas bill was our next largest payment at approx. £6,150. Luckily the 

6 



PCC contracted with our supplier until June 2026 which hopefully will cushion any increases in the cost of units and standing charges in this volatile environment. 

2021 saw all the hard work the PCC and others have put in for redevelopment of the church for mission move forward. The project work on the building continued with the reordering of the church and the perimeter heating installation being completed and the roof repair and improvement being started. The latter being made possible by the wonderful response to the Easter Appeal, this raised over £48,500 and ensured the PCC had sufficient funds to start work. Unfortunately the work has not been completed in 2021, but the grants we had applied for have been met by the Historic Churches Trust and the Garfield Weston Trust.   In total during 2021 over £151,000 has been spent on the 150+ project phases. As with all projects it takes some time for all the bills and VAT grants to come through but at the end of the year the Roof fund had a balance of £6,190 and the Restricted fund for the 150+ project was exhausted, with the Designated fund for the same (earmarked by the PCC for this reason) holding  £92,254. There will be small amounts of income in the restricted accounts for the first few months of 2022, but these will be used against the remaining bills. 

In the year we received two generous legacies for the general funds. A small amount from the legacy received from Joan Wells has been used to replace some altar linen. The Charity Commission Order, dated 9 July 2021, authorising a section 105 payment was also actioned during the period under review. 

The Standing Committee, and the PCC, are aware that without people’s committed and planned giving to this church, especially in yet another difficult year, its ministry and mission of reaching out to the community with God’s love would not be possible. And for this we thank each person who works, prays for, and financially supports, God’s work here.

## **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. The PCC is a Registered Charity and is regulated by the Charities Commission. St Oswald's 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 Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St Oswald’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our vicar), churchwardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 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 to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC. The full PCC met 9 times during the year. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life and are responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with minutes of their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary. 

These are: 

- The PCC Standing Committee consisting of the vicar, lay-chair, the churchwardens, PCC Treasurer and the PCC secretary 

- The Finance Group consisting of the Vicar, Treasurer, Gift Aid secretary, Churchwardens, and Lay Chair of the PCC. 

- The Buildings Group and Hall Management Group each having permission to co-opt members for particular meetings if specialised needs arise
