## **Trustees' Report 2022** 

## **Preamble** 

The Priory Church of St Mary Bridlington will be referred to hereafter as “Bridlington Priory“ or “the Priory”. 

The  Ecclesiastical Parish of Bridlington St Mary will be referred to hereafter as “the Priory parish”. 

The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Bridlington St Mary will be referred to hereafter as “the PCC”. 

## **Aims and Purposes** 

The PCC's primary object is the promotion of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.  It has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.  From January to August 2022 the incumbent was Revd Matthew Pollard.  From September to December (Vacancy) the PCC co-operated with Archdeacon Andy Broom. 

The PCC is specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Priory and the Church Rooms complex at Church Green, Bridlington, YO16 7JX. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Bridlington Priory. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. 

When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try 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 their knowledge and trust in Jesus. 

- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. 

- Missionary and outreach work. 

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Priory and the Church Rooms.

## **Trustees' Report 2022** 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

_Worship and Prayer_ 

Three services are held in the Priory on Sundays; 8:00am Holy Communion (BCP), 10:30am Principal Service, and 6:30pm Evensong.  The Principal Service takes the form of a Family Service on the first Sunday of the month, Matins on the third and Celebration of the Eucharist on the second, fourth and fifth where applicable.  On the third Sunday the 6:30pm Service is Sung Eucharist.  The robed choir and organist make a significant contribution in the English Choral Tradition at the 10:30am and 6:30pm services. The Principal Service is streamed live on the Friends of Bridlington Priory's Facebook page, a practice begun during Covid lockdown and carried on for the benefit of those unable to attend in person. 

During 2022 Morning Prayer was said each day at 8:30am from Monday to Saturday. A Messy Church Service is held once per month on Friday afternoons, with an average attendance of about 10 adults and 15 children. 

Volunteers from the congregation stream prayers on the Facebook page at midday and 6pm each weekday, and the Associate Minister streams a Reflection fortnightly on Sunday afternoons. 

All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 168 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll.  Seven names were removed during the year through death and one due to moving away from the parish. The average weekly attendance, counted during October, was 105. 

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. We have celebrated 34 baptisms and 15 weddings and held 36 funerals in our church this year. 

The Priory continued to play the role of civic church, welcoming the RNLI to the annual Great Gale service in February, holding a Falklands Memorial service in April, the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee service in June and the Mayor's service in September.  In May a special service was held in memory of ex-treasurer Robin Sharpe, postponed from 2021 due to lockdown.  Several local schools used the Priory for their Christmas concerts. 

## _Pastoral Care_ 

The Priory's contribution to the local community is not confined to religious services.  In February the Education Department at East Riding of Yorkshire Council started using the church on weekdays for one-to-one tuition of special needs children (from which the Priory received a fee).  From January to April the Hinge Centre held after-school circuit training for 5 to 10 year olds in the Priory Rooms.  For the greater part of the year, once lockdown was eased, the Rooms were in almost constant use in weekdays from 9am to 8 or 9pm.

## **Trustees' Report 2022** 

The users were local groups with varying levels of attachment to the church, including uniformed youth organisations.  Only two groups were charged for hire.  The Rooms are therefore part of the Priory's giving to the parish. 

In October our weekly Luncheon Club was re-launched with the voluntary help of a professional caterer.  This has proved very popular over the years especially with elderly and isolated people. 

An active Pastoral Care Team continued to meet during the year. Their activities involved regular phone calls to congregation members who could not attend Church, visits and the taking of Home Communion to congregation members, visits to hospital and general pastoral support. 

## _Deanery Synod_ 

Three members of the PCC sat on the deanery synod during 2022. This provides the PCC with an important link between the Priory parish and the wider structures of the church. This year the PCC has also focused its attention on the deanery's “Living Christ's Story” initiative which will result in parish boundary changes causing the Priory parish to be enlarged. 

## _Mission and Evangelism_ 

Clergy normally take the Eucharist to local homes for the elderly although this remained suspended in 2022 as the homes still had anti-Covid precautions in place.  Clergy also lead assemblies in local schools, usually once or twice per term. 

Many of the Priory congregation contribute money and time to the Deanery's Hope Housing  scheme which provides housing for men who would otherwise be homeless. A Chat-and-Craft group knits woollen clothing and toys which are blessed in church and donated to local organisations. 

Messy Church, mentioned above under Worship and Prayer, is seen as a significant part of the Priory's mission.  A simple tea-time meal is included. 

During the year the Priory hosted a number of concerts and open days with refreshments. In May and November the Bridlington-based Remarkable Rock choir and musicians packed out the church for Rock the Priory.  In June there were the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the NAAFI Café for the Old Town Association's 1940's festival, and teas for a classic car meeting on Church Green.  In November the Advent Fair saw many local craftspeople sell their wares in church and in December Carlton Main Frickley Colliery band returned to join the Priory choir for another Brass and Voices concert. 

In July the Mothers' Union staged a very enjoyable morning with light popular music and younger members of the choir displaying their instrumental talents. 

The Priory was kept open to visitors each day from 11am to 3pm and on Saturdays from 10am to 12 noon by a team of volunteer stewards who also staff the Priory gift shop. 

While many of these activities raise revenue for the church, they are also designed to promote the Priory as an accessible, attractive and fun venue, and thereby to increase the chance that people who do not usually go to church may find themselves drawn to it.

## **Trustees' Report 2022** 

## _Fabric (major works)_ 

In July local builders completed repairs to the Church Rooms roof caused by vandalism in 2021. In October an unstable pinnacle on the Priory's south-west tower was repaired by specialist steeplejacks, who also strengthened a second pinnacle and repaired some leadwork free of charge. 

## **Volunteers** 

Apart from the Incumbent, Organist and Assistant Organist, all the work of the Priory is carried out by volunteers.  We would like to thank everyone who works so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. 

## **Investment Property** 

The financial statement reflects the situation that members of the PCC (the trustees) are aware of the reality of an uncertainty that exists about the ownership of the investment property. This uncertainty is in the process of being resolved but this resolution may take some time to achieve and as stated the outcome is uncertain. Going forwards, the PCC (the trustees) of Bridlington Priory are resolute in their determination to clear up this uncertainty. 

## **Financial Review** 

The impact of the Covid pandemic has continued to affect the regular income during 2022. The total income shows a satisfactory increase from the lows of the pandemic. PCC expenditure has increased mainly because of increased repair expenditure and an increased contribution to the Diocesan Freewill offering. The cost of Repairs will always be an issue for a building of the age and beauty of the Priory. We have obtained a substantial repayment of energy costs which is reflected in these Accounts. 

Total net incoming resources for the year were £13,249 prior to depreciation and a loss on investment Assets. As a consequence of the latter the PCC has a total reduction of funds of £82,644 in the year. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The PCC is concerned about the financial costs implicit in holding a building of the age and beauty of the Priory. General liquid Reserves of around 6 months regular expenditure are currently held.  It is felt that the current level of reserves held is necessary both in order to keep the Priory in good repair and to make the Priory fit for future purpose while at the same time honouring our commitment to worship and mission. Further funding may be required to update the facilities of the building.   The Reserves Policy will be reviewed annually.

## **Trustees' Report 2022** 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

A long-standing concern is the lack of toilets in the Priory itself.  During the year a subgroup of the PCC considered architects' plans for an extension to provide toilet and refreshment facilities in church, concluding that this would be best done by finding space within the building rather than an extension.  However further plans were put on hold until the arrival of the new incumbent. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 

At Bridlington Priory the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, Associate Minister, Deacon, churchwardens, co-opted members 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. 

The 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. 

The full PCC met 11 times with an average attendance of 79%.  In January there were 19 members.  During the year four people resigned or left, and one joined, so there were 16 at the end of the year. 

The PCC has two committees which are responsible to the PCC and report back to it with minutes of their deliberations being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary. 

## a. Standing Committee 

This consists of the incumbent, churchwardens and secretary and may transact the PCC’s business between meetings of the PCC in accordance with the Church Representation Rules Part 9, Rule M31.  Since June 2022 its function has been limited to discussing the governance of the church, making such decisions as implementing legislative requirements and large outlays of money.  The Standing Committee is only convened as and when necessary. 

## b. Operations Committee 

This consists of the incumbent, churchwardens and secretary.  It was proposed by the PCC in February 2022 and began work after the APCM in May 2022.  Its purpose is to discuss practical day-to-day matters which would otherwise take up too much of the full PCC's time.  It meets monthly and has a maximum budget of £1,000 per individual item of expenditure.

The valuation was carried out in 2020 by the external valuers, Ullyotts, 

Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents, based on an open market value on an existing use basis. The next external valuation is due at 31 December 2025. 

There is an uncertainty about the ownership of the investment property and about  the status of rent received 

in respect of that property by the PCC and the use to which any funds can be put. The PCC currently believes that it has ownership and unfettered use of any funds. 

The PCC is unable at this point to determine the amount, if any, that might be due to a third party or that may be of a restricted nature.
