Diocese of Leicester, Guthlaxton Deanery Parochial Church Council of ST ANDREW'S CHURCH, COUNTESTHORPE Registered Charity No 1135711 TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT for the year 2023 OUR YEAR Thankfully St Andrew's managed to end the year 2023 with a financial surplus of over £6,000. That was in spite of rising costs, repairs to the tower and the loss of some families. We were helped by some large donations and continuing fund-raising efforts by many loyal members. Some group activities are continuing in 2024 but sadly others are on hold. The Men's group is not meeting. The Breathe youth group is not currently running and there is no Sunday school at present. However, we are able to rejoice in the continuing success of Messy Church and the Little Friends group for mothers or carers with tiny children. The Mothers. Union branch is flourishing as are the Friendship Teas and the Craft Corner. The Church St Andrew's Church is a Grade11 Listed building. The church was rebuilt in 1907, but its 13th century tower was retained and now holds eighl bells. In more recent years the church has had a new roof, new electrical wiring and sound and projection equipment. The pews have been replaced wilh chairs and the old organ has been replaced with an electronic one. The main entrance now has glass inner doors and new steps and railings enhance it even more. The floor was refurbished in 2019. The church is siluated on Main Street, Countesthorpe, LEICESTER LE8 5QX. and is part of the Four Saints Benefice, with Foston, Pealling Magna and Willoughby Waterleys. There is a church hall Galled The Cornerstone. The church's premises at 1 Main Street, next to the hurch, include a shop and a flat, both let to tenants, and The Bridge building, which has toilets, the Ghurch office, the Rainbow Shop and a meeting room. The Rainbow Shop is run by volunteers from St Andrew's, other local churches and the community and it raises funds for the interdenominational harity Christian Aid. Visitors Can be sure of a cup of tea and a Ghat there. The Bridge meeting room is used by a number of organisations as well as the church itself. The PCC is still paying regular instalments of the loan from the Diocese for the Bridge building. The Church's Mission The Parochial Church Council (PCCI CO•operates with the Minister in promoting in the Parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. Mission Statement We wish to be a transformed people who love God and each other, a people set on fire by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a community that wants to share His Story with everyone we can, seed-lhrowers and fire-starters. hope-peddlers and grace-givers. risk-takers and dreamers. young and old. We aim lo seek the lost, empower the poor, strengthen Ihe weak, embrace the outcast. We want to serve together, play together, worship togelher, pray together, laugh together, cry together, learn together and live life together, lo grow as a church in numbers and in loving seNice and to see our village changed by the love God has given to us to share. The funding needed comes mainly f rom the donations of individuals and a few f undraising initiatives during the year. Much of the upkeep of the Comerstone and No 1 Main Street is funded by rent and fees for lettings. A Parish Contribution is paid to the Diocese of Leicester for the salaries of Ihe stipendiary clergy and central services. Structure of the PCC AnnRepFOr￿23

Wednesday. 'Messy Church, is held on the third Saturday of each month. If there is a frfth Sunday in the month just one service is held in one church in the Benef ice, in turn.

St Andrew's has a long-established Mothers, Union branch, whiGh has a full programme of monthly meetings, including the Rally in October hosted by St Andrew's. The church lakes part in the annual ecumenical World Day of Prayer service in earfy March. The Men's Group called MAFIA {Men And Faith In Action) met for part of 2023, but is paused al the moment. New members are welcomed to our groups. Outreach to the Community Funerals and weddings take place in St Andrew's Church and the11.00am seNice sometimes includes a baptism.

As mentioned, the Rainbow Shop offers a welcome. It sent £14,500 to Christian Aid in 2023. The Bridge garden is a quiet space accessible to the community, with a dedicaled team to maintain it. As a founder member of the Countesthorpe Foodbank the church continues to support it. Similarly we support the Community Fund for which money is raised by the collection of newspapers.

There is a weekly news sheel fcr church members called What's On Where (WOW), which is also on the benefice website. Financial Review Our surplus forthe yearwas achieved thanks to generous donations and church members. hardworking fund-raising efforts, for which we are very grateful. We managed lo meet all our f inancial obligations. including the f ull Parish Contribution to the Diocese and paying off a f urther £12,000 of the Diocesan loan taken out a few years ago for our building project. There was a balance left on the loan of £74.000 at the end of the year, which is due to be repaid by around the end of 2029. The Balance Sheet is AnnRepFOr￿23

looking healthy with net current assets of £15,376. The acquisition of a Card Reader for church collections, and the promotion of the Parish Giving Scheme (direct debils}, have helped to facilitate people's giving and Gift Aid administration. A Deanery Outreach Grant of £400 was applied for and received, to help with outreach. primarily to the Ukrainians hosted in the village. The Rainbow Shop has had one of ils most successful years ever, raising £14,500 to send to Christian Aid. Looking ahead, it appears that income will be less in the coming year, because of fewer regular givers, but expenses will be higher. Last year we increased our offer of Diocesan Contribution as requested, as they were facing significant budgeting constraints and we are aiming io ensure we cover the cosl our Rector. Also we will need to cover at least some of the costs of work needed imminently on our buildings. And we would like to have sufficienlfunds lo do more outreach lo the community. Sowe are starting the new yearwith a reasonable level of reserves for now, bul a deficit budget. We are prayerfulty considering what we can do to try to boost funds to cover the expected shortfall.
