They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint’. Isaiah 40.31 ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand’. Isaiah 41.10 We started 2020 with great enthusiasm, celebrating Epiphany with a well-attended service followed by a meal that was all held at St Michael’s. The first full week in January saw us hosting the Arklight Shelter, at Christ’s Church, for the homeless which ran for seven consecutive nights. The facilities provided a very homely atmosphere and we developed good relationships with the guests. Sadly, the numbers who availed themselves of the shelter were lower than we hoped for. The project was well supported by the church family and non-church family alike. We would like to express our sincere thanks to those who volunteered and supported the shelter. The overall shelter project was closed down shortly after due to the coronavirus outbreak. In February we held our concert directed by Coral Greenwood with members of the church family involved not only in the performance, making of costumes, scenery, props but also lighting and sound not to mention the excellent refreshments during the performances. We should not underestimate the importance of these events as a means to bring together our church family members and also the Pensby community. Thanks to all who participated. March unfortunately saw the Pandemic taking hold across the nation and the government announcing the national lockdown which included the closure of all churches. It would have been easy to sit back and do little or nothing and just accept the situation but that is not who we are and the Lord always presents us with opportunities. The Standing Committee began to meet on a weekly basis to discuss and plan how we could best maintain the life of our churches. We recognised the importance of supporting those members of our church family and the wider community who were particularly vulnerable. To this end Colin Leeman organised a dedicated team who made weekly contact with people and offered practical support with shopping and medical appointments etc. The help and support of the volunteers is deeply appreciated by all. To maintain the spiritual life of our church, with the help of technology and the skill of some of our members the services were moved on line, initially from the studies of our clergy then later from both churches with supporting roles recorded in the homes of the people concerned. Our Youth and Family worker, John, provided invaluable support to our younger members by providing them with projects to work on at home, with online worksheets. Sunday club was also moved on line and the children really enjoyed this. Thank you, John, for your support and hard work during this time With the lifting of lockdown in July St Michaels opened up for one service on a Sunday at 10.30am. The numbers for this service have increased; we then started a Wednesday service of Holy Communion. The services in Christ’s Church began with an 8.30 communion and then followed with a 10.30 family service also. Meanwhile we have continued to broadcast the 10.30, which became 9.30 in the New Year, from St Michael’s. John opened Sunday Club very successfully and it is working very well. John’s team have done amazing work with the children, thank you very much. It could be some time before we return to normal life in our churches. We have had a total of 50 funerals during the year 16 of which were held in our churches. Sadly 13 members of our church family passed away 7 from St Michaels and 6 from Christ’s Church. On a happy note, we have held one wedding The pandemic has forced us to put on hold many of our regular activities such as Men’s and Women’s breakfast, bereavement lunch and carer’s lunch together with Little Tugs and Messy Church and Holiday Clubs for both young and old. It did not however stop us erecting the 2 Christmas tree and holding successful evenings singing carols around it. We pray with joyous anticipation for the time when all these activities can resume. We should express our thanks to all who have worked so hard during this difficult time. To the people who have lead the services, those who have provided the music, the technical team, the sides people who have supported the services, to those who maintain our grounds at Barnston and Pensby. There are so many who have provided support I am sorry I haven’t mentioned you by name, we all are very grateful for all you have done for us. Cecelia has once again proved to be an invaluable member of the staff team. She has given huge support to the clergy and wardens during the year. Our thanks also to Chrissie who is standing down as administrator at St Michaels after 13 years. Thank you so much for all you have done. We must recognise the hard work of the P.C.C. and thanks to Eleanor as secretary and for keeping us on track through so many issues. Thanks to the members of the council who are standing down as their term of office comes to an end, Audrey Leatham, Andrew Patterson Also, thanks go to our clergy. To Peter who has left to take up the role of Director of Outreach for Chester Diocese we wish him every success and to Chris for his continued ministry and inspiring preaching which many of us have found invaluable. I started this report with verses from Isaiah which give us hope and reasons to be optimistic. The Jewish nation, at this time, was moving from a period of darkness and difficulties, then came this message of hope. Similarly, we are moving from a period of uncertainty and fear into new beginnings. This is our moment of hope for the future trusting in our lord. After being unable to be with our loved ones either near or far we now have the hope of some joyous reunions and in our church, we have the promise of new starts and exciting times to come we only have to look to our Lord for guidance and blessings. 3 **Report of the Trustees:** ## **A. Objectives and Activities** 1. Purpose. The primary objective is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England. The PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 states that the PCC is to co-operate with the minister in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. In 2017 the PCC agreed the Purpose Vision and Values of the church Our Purpose: To make Jesus known and to grow together in him Our Vision: To be bigger and more representative of the community, equipping everyone for ministry. Our Values: We will be a church… defined by grace directed by the Bible dependent in prayer with compassion for our neighbours confident and joyful in our faith The Parish has continued to pursue its purpose "to maintain and promote the spiritual teaching of the Church of England”. ## 2. Ensuring our work delivers our aims We review our work each year and consider outcomes and plans for the future. We take account of the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our purpose and in considering how planned activities will meet that aim. In 2016 we decided to develop a Mission leadership team that would support the staff team in achieving our goals as a church. This was formed and has received training in church leadership organised by Chester Diocese and provided by Lead Academy. In the light of this training, we have worked to define our Purpose, Vision and Values ## 3. The focus of our work We provide facilities for public worship, pastoral care, and spiritual, moral and intellectual development. All of this has been affected by Covid 19, in that face-to-face services and courses have had to cease for a period, replaced by online activity, and later resumed in a diminished form. We promote Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole. The staff team is assisted by a large group of volunteers who share responsibility for the different aspects of the Church’s life as church officers, sides-persons, preachers and service leaders, pastoral visitors, musicians, youth leaders, small group leaders, toddler group leaders, prayer ministry team members, people who work in maintenance and care of the church buildings, and many more. These have been assisted by retired clergy, licensed readers and licensed pastoral workers. It is not overstating things to say that without our willing volunteers, we could not fulfil our ministry to our community in the way we currently manage to do. We are immensely grateful to all those who give so generously of their time to enable this work and these groups to continue. ## **B. Achievements and Performance** How our activities deliver public benefit and the main activities delivering this. 4 • Education - contributing to the spiritual and moral education of children and young people by the provision of Sunday School and the youth group. In this year we have continued to employ a children, youth and family worker to equip and encourage our volunteers and to develop our work in schools. In September, we began employment of a Discipling Coordinator. Again, Covid 19 has obliged much of this activity to be online. - Social action - contributing to and assisting in social action in the parish and community by the following activities: (Note all have been adversely affected by Covid 19). - a) Little Tugs for pre-school children and their carers; Messy Church for primary school children and their carers; our children and youth worker visiting local primary schools. b) Use of Church premises for Guides, Brownies, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Youth Clubs and also for weddings, baptisms, funerals, etc. c) Adult activities such as Lunches for the Bereaved; Carers Group; Sewing Group; Knitting and Coffee Groups. d) Volunteer Chaplaincy services for local hospitals; visiting the sick and bereaved. e) Sew Far Sew Good has offered friendship and support to isolated people, in the context of a group teaching sewing skills f) Emergency night shelter overnight accommodation for part of the winter – under the auspices of Wirral Churches Ark Project. g) Training - providing training and assistance in order that volunteers are competent, for example, to assist clergy in providing Christian services, e.g. Intercessory Training; funding volunteers to attend Diocesan courses to become Licensed Pastoral Workers or Readers. ## Area of activity The majority of the parish's activity takes place in the communities of Barnston and Pensby, as well as the local schools, hospitals and other community venues. ## Who benefits from our services? We aim to make our services open to as wide a section of the local public as possible. ## **C. Financial Review** In 2019 we received a £520,000 unrestricted legacy, receiving a further tranche of £40,000 in 2020. A PCC decision was made to regard this legacy money as ‘separate’, and it is useful, therefore, to separate ‘legacy’ income, expense and balance from ‘normal’ items. In 2020 we received a different second legacy of £56,600. This was accepted into ‘normal’ income. ‘Normal’ income (including the £56,600 legacy) for the year was £242,000, and ‘normal’ expenses £234,000, resulting in a ‘normal’ surplus of £8,000. Weekly giving reduced, due to the impact of Covid 19, as services ceased and then resumed at lower attendance levels (down £13,000), and hall hire income collapsed (down £9,000). The 5 majority of giving is via standing order (a system to which many switched during Covid), so that most giving was not affected by Covid. Re expenses, lower activity also reduced these, and there were no major ‘one off’ costs (down £22,000). Parish Share, at £128,000, is 55% of ‘normal’ expenses. The PCC is aware of the deficit trend, and is actively taking steps to address this. Re ‘separate’ legacy monies, £37,000 was paid away in mission support. From September it fully funded the employment of our Children, Youth and Family worker, and, also from September, fully funded our Discipling Coordinator. No investments are held. Risk. The PCC is aware of the risks to which the Church is exposed, and continues to adopt policies to minimize them. They include DBS checks according to Diocesan policy, and training of people working with children, active safeguarding, insuring all known risks, and being mindful of the need to match expense with income. Reserves Policy. It is PCC policy to maintain 2 months running costs, equivalent to £39,000, of which 75% must be unrestricted funds, and 90% to be ‘cash’ and available within one month’s notice. In addition to this £39,000, a further £15,000 of unrestricted monies should be held to cover emergency ‘building fabric’ needs and £3,000 of unrestricted monies to cover monthly balance fluctuations. The total reserves policy figure is, therefore, £57,000 (minimum £47,000 unrestricted). Currently (Dec ’20), the amount held in ‘normal’ reserve is £115,000, plus legacy balance. ## **D. 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) as amended. The PCC is an unincorporated registered charity. PCC members are automatically trustees of the charity. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At Christ Church & St Michaels and All Angels the membership of the PCC consists of - The Incumbent The Associate Minister Both Churchwardens Members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services are encouraged to register on the electoral role and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of concern and importance to the parish, including deciding how funds are spent. The PCC meet 6 times per year. Because of its wide responsibilities, the PCC has several committees each dealing with a particular aspect of church life. These committees, which include Mission Leadership Team, Buildings Team, Mission Committee and Standing Committee, are responsible to the PCC and report back regularly. The PCC has a duty of care towards people who take part in Church activities and who use Church premises. In order to fulfil this obligation, the PCC has given special attention to the following areas: 6 ## **Safeguarding** The PCC has a Safeguarding policy, which shadows the policy published by the Diocese of Chester. Further training days were held during the year for church members. The PCC requires that any church member who works with children or vulnerable adults should hold a current DBS certificate. The DBS process is administered by John Putman. The PCC has appointed Mrs. Coral Greenwood as Safeguarding Officer and she reports to every PCC meeting. ## **Hygiene** The kitchens in Barnston and Pensby are subject to inspection by the relevant department of Wirral Borough Council. The Barnston and Pensby kitchens have both been graded 5, the top award. Many users of the kitchens have a certificate in Food Safety Awareness and in Food Preparation. This is kept under constant review. ## **Health and safety** Our Health & Safety Officer undertook a detailed assessment in 2016, and undertook a further third assessment in 2019 of the state of the church and its premises. The Church Wardens have acted to implement the recommendations that were made. The parish has been managed by the following staff team members: Revd Peter Froggatt Incumbent Revd Chris Murphy Associate Minister Cecelia Oliver Administrator John Putman Children, Youth and Family Worker Joanna Hill Discipling Coordinator (from Sep 2020) Chrissie Irlam Finance Assistant Rebekah Haslam Assistant A quinquennial survey took place in 2016 which indicated a few areas of maintenance and development. A plan for doing this has been developed, and schemes are now in operation to remedy. The next survey is due in September 2021. ## **E.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the guidance given by the Charities Act 2011. ## (b) Incoming resources All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Incoming resources this year include an unrestricted donation of £40,000 from the estate of the late Julia Oxley, and an unrestricted donation of £56,632 from the estate of the late Don Macardle. At 31.12.20 funds had been received in respect of one project which had not been fully committed: The Marjorie Dodd and the Charles Davies legacies for the refurbishment of Barnston church, £3,692. Costs incurred in future years on this project will be reflected in full as a charge against profits of the future relevant years. ## (c) Outgoing resources Resources expended are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. ## (d) Unrestricted funds Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. ## (e) Restricted funds Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. At 31.12.20 the following restricted funds were held which were not committed: For the maintenance of Christ Church, Barnston £ 3,692 The only other restricted funds received were in respect of retiring collections and these were remitted to the appropriate source during the year. ## (f) Fixed assets The property 8 Antons Road is shown in the accounts at a valuation of £225,000, that of St Michael's Church re-order and refurbishment at cost, £205,552, and that of St Michael's Centre at cost, £567,287.
