St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
Introduction
The Trustees of St Luke’s Church present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Report was approved by the Board of Trustees at a meeting on 20 April 2021 The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's Constitution adopted in April 2010, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).
St Luke’s Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership and includes Anglican, Methodist, Baptist and United Reformed denominations. It is the only church in the parish of Lodge Moor, Sheffield. It is part of the Hallam Deanery and the Anglican Diocese of Sheffield. As an LEP it is also part of the Yorkshire Baptist Association and of the Methodist and United Reformed Church organisations. The Church Centre is owned by the Anglican Diocese.
The church operates as a registered charity governed by its constitution adopted in April 2010. It is managed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the whole Church membership, with ex officio and co-opted members. Further details of the structure and governance are in section A4 (Page A11). The Trustees and the Vicar/Minister promote the mission of the Church throughout the parish of Lodge Moor. They have the responsibility for the use and maintenance of St. Luke's Church and Centre. The Parish includes some 2100 homes.
The incumbent is ordained in the Anglican Church and serves as minister for the other denominations in the LEP, hence the title ‘Vicar/Minister’, which will become ‘Oversight Minister in 2022. St Luke’s functions as one Christian church for most practical purposes.
COVID restrictions have had a major effect on the activities of the church during 2021 and these are described throughout the report.

A. Trustees Report
A1. Aims and Purposes
St Luke’s Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership that includes four denominations: Anglican, Methodist, Baptist and United Reformed. It is the only church in the parish of Lodge Moor, Sheffield. The aims of the Trustees and incumbent are expressed in our constitution as follows:
“ The purpose of the Charity is to advance the Christian faith in the Area of Benefit in accordance with the principles and practices of the Participating Churches.”
Objectives and Activities
In achieving its purpose, the Charity will engage in a range of activities, either on its own or with others, including (but not restricted to):
-
a) the celebration of public worship;
-
b) the teaching of the Christian faith;
-
c) mission and evangelism;
-
d) pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved;
-
e) the provision of facilities with a Christian ethos for the local community, including (but not restricted to) the elderly, the young and other groups with special needs;
-
f) the support of other charities in the UK and overseas.”
The Vision for the church, ‘Offering Living Water’, as agreed by the Trustees, is expressed in three strands:
Strand 1: Life-giving, dynamic worship which empowers us. Resilient teaching that guides and equips us
Strand 2: Serving others in a way that makes our faith visible to those who want to receive. Offering the chance to learn more
Strand 3 : Becoming full life disciples. Equipping and encouraging one another to serve God on our own ‘frontline.’
There has been no change in these objectives during the year.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
The church building of St Luke’s Lodge Moor is central to most of these activities and very heavily used. The use of the building has been severely restricted since March 2020 due to the COVID crisis. During lockdown periods it has been used only by the Pre-school Nursery. At other times services have been held under COVID restrictions. The other groups and activities that normally take place in the building have mostly been suspended since March 2020 until the autumn of 2021 or early 2022 and some have made use of online communication.

A2. Public Benefit Statement
Further information is given under Achievements and Performance.
Many activities have been curtailed and adapted during much of 2021 due to the COVID restrictions on public meetings and social contact. The following sections describe our normal activities and the effect of the COVID restrictions.
A2.1 Advancement of the Christian Faith
St Luke’s has continued to advance the Christian faith in Lodge Moor and beyond through the provision of public services of worship, prayer meetings, bible study and reflection, pastoral care, youth and children’s work, and mission and outreach.
Under COVID restrictions many of these activities have been restricted and others have continued by online means such as live-streamed services, meetings via Zoom, doorstep visits and the extensive distribution of email, paper- and telephone-based material. Details are below.
A2.2 Use of the Church Centre
The Church Centre is used for the advancement of the Christian faith via weekly services of different styles, both formal and less formal, as well as prayer meetings and a range of group meetings and activities for all ages. The Chapel is freely available for private prayer during office open times.
The church centre is used for many other activities including:
-
St. Luke’s Pre-School Nursery (a separate legal entity) which is open 5 days per week, 51 weeks per year.
-
Courses relating to the Christian faith,
-
A weekly ‘Bumps and Babies’ group, (which pre-Covid coincided with the local Health Service Baby Clinic, which we hope will resume.)
-
The local Townswomen’s Guild (monthly) and a weekly Pilates group.
-
Lodge Moor Children’s Choir
-
Uniformed organisations (Scouts & Guides movement) hold weekly meetings for all age groups up to Scouts and Guides during term times, and twice-yearly awards events.
The church reopened for Sunday Worship in March 2021, after being largely closed during the lockdown periods. The Pre-school Nursery continued to operate throughout the lockdowns as the only user of the building. They carried out all cleaning, sanitising and security tasks in a very thorough way.
A2.3 Services to the community in Lodge Moor
The church normally serves the local community by providing, offering or organising the following activities.
-
A weekly, cooked lunch for over sixties, with transport for those who need it (restarted in 2022)
-
A bereavement support group and annual memorial service.
-
Toddlers’ groups on Wednesdays and Thursdays catering for 24 and 15 children, plus ‘Bumps and Babies’ catering for 18 parents with children.
-
Free frozen meals to those suffering from illness or bereavement or coming out of hospital.;
-
A fortnightly afternoon tea and cakes event for over 60s in the local community centre.
-
A monthly pub-based group for men, for socialising, pie & peas and talks.
-
Assemblies and a weekly lunchtime Bible club in the local primary school.
-
Two weekly youth clubs and a children’s summer holiday club (not yet resumed)
-
Social events for the whole family - eg quiz, comedy, film etc.
-
St Luke’s has a very positive relationship with the Hallam Youth and Community Association.
Most activities have resumed. During the COVID crisis all face-to-face meetings were suspended. Bereavement support, men’s groups, youth groups and some social events were held via online videolink. Visits to the elderly and those shielding increased (as and when permitted by guidelines) and included the circulation of notices and sermons on paper. The weekly lunch club, which normally serves a large number of older people, was not possible from March 2020 but has recently restarted.

A2.4 Services in the City of Sheffield
The church serves the city community by:
-
Supporting Baby Basics (providing essentials for vulnerable mothers and babies in Sheffield).
-
Collecting clothes, toys, etc., for donation to disadvantaged parts of Sheffield
-
With other churches on a rota basis, running a soup wagon in Sheffield City Centre to aid the homeless and those on the margins of society.
-
Giving our Christmas collections to StopGap, a charity providing emergency accommodation.
-
Supporting other churches with service leadership, health and safety and financial know-how.
-
A fortnightly collection for a local food-bank.
-
Most of these activities do not involve face-to-face contact and were able to continue during the crisis, especially the support for Baby Basics and Stopgap.
A2.5 Services to World-wide Society
The church supports, both financially and via prayer and encouragement, three charities at any one time on a rolling basis, with a three-year term each. In 2021 these were:
-
Baby Basics – a local charity for vulnerable new mothers and babies.
-
Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) a UK-wide organisation that provides tuition for excluded pupils, mentoring for school-age children in difficult situations and lunch clubs in school holidays.
-
International Justice Mission (Mumbai field office), working to rescue and bring justice for enslaved people and with a vision to end slavery.
These financial commitments were met in full during 2021, despite the COVID crisis.
Other support for worldwide charities includes:
-
Donations from the Christingle service given to the Children’s Society.
-
Local fund-raising for Christian Aid, including resourcing the sponsored walks in ‘normal’ years.
-
As part of Operation Christmas Child, sending shoeboxes packed with practical gifts to developing countries, plus money to fund further boxes from elsewhere.
These activities were reduced in 2021
A3. Achievements and Performance
A3.1 Membership and attendance
-
In April 2022 there were 215 members on the Membership Roll (formal church membership in four denominations). Formal Church membership was reduced due to the number of members that had died, although a minority of those were due to Covid. A number had also moved away from the parish.
-
Services were held at 10:00 on Sundays when COVID restrictions permitted. From the autumn of 2021 attendance rose to 70-90. Live music and singing were resumed as it was considered safe to do so. Shaking hands etc were not permitted, masks were worn, and children’s groups were not possible until later in 2021; all of which caused many to choose to use the online or streamed services instead.
-
When the church was closed, Services were provided weekly via YouTube, initially in pre-recorded form and later, when services were held in church, as live-streamed events. During closure the online services were viewed by 60-120 households each week. When services resumed, weekly sermons were provided via a ‘dial-a-sermon’ telephone service (which was popular), on paper and on DVD.
A3.2 Interregnum
Our Vicar/Minister resigned in May 2021 to take a new role in the Diocese. St Luke’s will have a new Oversight Minister for the parish (rather than shared with other parishes) but the recruitment process is lengthy and will not be complete until later in 2022. We have been fortunate to have two curates with us until mid-2022 and several qualified lay readers and retired ministers, all of whom are able to lead services and preach. We are especially grateful to Rev. Dr. C. Ellis, who has chaired the Trustees and undertaken pastoral work.

A3.3 Worship teaching and prayer
The last two years have been difficult for all churches. Through the lock-down, St Luke’s tried to provide for the needs of all in the congregation through in-person, electronic and paper means as mentioned above.
The reopening for live worship in the spring of 2021 has of course been welcomed. Worship, teaching and prayer have been re-started for all age groups, children, youth and adults, in a revised, but appropriate, format. Attendance increased steadily during 2021, although there are still some who are too vulnerable or concerned to risk being part of large meetings and they have appreciated the continuation of live streaming of services and other means of contact.
Bill Craft
A3.4 Prayer
The Church Prayer Meeting has continued each Sunday evening with good numbers attending. The format is a combination of praise and worship, listening to God and interceding for the church as we await a new Minister.
Prayer requests continue to be received through the church prayer email and these are prayed for in confidence by a group of intercessors. There have been many answered prayers.
In February 2022, there was a Day of Prayer and Fasting for the Interregnum. During this time, some prayed around the building for spiritual protection. On Easter Saturday there is a planned morning of prayer and fasting, to listen to God and also to intercede for the outreach on the Westminster Estate.
During March 2022, we joined the ‘Arise Sheffield’ initiative of prayer-walking and every street in Lodge Moor was prayer-walked, some of them many times.
Lillian Miller (Prayer Leader)
A3.5 Music Ministry (by Marilyn Ellis)
The Music Ministry Team is committed to serving the vision of enabling life-giving, dynamic worship, reflecting the evangelical, ecumenical and inclusive nature of our Church by using music from different styles and traditions.
For several months in 2021 we continued to rely on the Mugridge family to provide recorded music for our online services, and we are very grateful to them for their hard work and commitment over this time. In August, as Covid restrictions began to ease, we were finally able to return to live music, and later even to congregational singing, albeit with masks on! MMT rehearsals began again in September, and since then we have led the sung worship each Sunday. It was a particular joy that the annual carol service was able to go ahead this year – with reduced numbers of instrumentalists, singers and congregation - despite last-minute fears that the significant impact of the Omicron coronavirus variant would mean cancellation. As we move into more ‘normal’ times, we look forward to unrestricted congregational singing in worshipping God together.
Marilyn Ellis
A3.6 Pastoral Report
The start of 2021 marked a return to lockdown, the suspension of live worship and of meeting together for our normal and varied Church activities. Services continued online for those with internet access; the weekly sermon could be accessed via a local phone number, and we delivered DVDs to those able to watch services that way. Newsletters were emailed, sent by post or hand delivered by volunteers on a weekly basis to try to keep people in touch. Telephone contacts already established continued to be an important way of maintaining pastoral contact and establishing where support was needed.
The rollout of the vaccine programme and lateral flow testing during the first few months of the year helped to give us a little more confidence in reaching out to those who remained particularly vulnerable. The safety of those individuals remained our priority while trying to ensure they did not feel isolated. However, visiting people at home was mostly limited to doorsteps and where possible openair meetings in gardens or outside spaces. A small team of people maintained contact with those in care homes by sending a card with a short greeting around once a month. We hope this encouraged the residents that they were not forgotten when visits were not possible and phone calls often difficult. At

St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
Easter older members living alone again received a bag with a small chocolate gift and some pen and paper activities.
Throughout the year it was necessary to adapt our activities to changing regulations and fluctuating Covid infections. Many meetings were conducted on Zoom and ‘Zoom Coffee’ at the end of livestreamed services was an opportunity for people to have an informal conversation and actually see those they were conversing with. The bereavement support group started the year on Zoom, then held garden meetings for small groups of members and finally met together on Church premises from October.
As the year progressed and restrictions were lifted live worship resumed with stringent Coronavirus safeguards. In the autumn more meetings on Church premises were possible and Lunches restarted with smaller numbers. As with many of the Church’s former activities there are a reduced number of helpers available because of age or vulnerability. Limited lifts to Church services were available fortnightly from November for a small number of people.
With the help of Church members, the pastoral teams endeavoured to maintain some level of pastoral support in difficult circumstances during the year. In order to keep people safe, we tried to respect the individual rights of Church members to tell us what level of involvement and contact they wanted from us. Health issues meant that the team of pastoral workers reduced in size and so too did the amount of time that others could give to pastoral tasks. Thank you once again to all who have helped in so many imaginative and inventive ways to make possible what we have been able to do to offer pastoral support and encouragement in 2021.

St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
Youth Work
2021 was a difficult year with many of our activities halted or curtailed due to restrictions imposed because of Covid. When allowed to, we met on the premises, but numbers had to be restricted and operating in bubbles was less than easy. We made good use of Spider Park when we could. Zoom, though not an ideal medium for youth work, enabled contact with group members. Other forms of social media were also used effectively.
All our groups, Base Camp (Y4-Y6), Trek (Y7-Y13), Peak (Y11+), Edge and Ridge were affected by the restrictions, and the latter two, which are open access groups, remain closed at the present time.
Our employed Youth Worker moved to another job in the summer of 2021, which with the aftermath of Covid restrictions and the stepping-down of several helpers, proved a serious challenge. We are very grateful to the volunteers who stepped forward to lead the groups and those who volunteered to continue helping, which enabled activities to fully resume from autumn. All meetings now take place on church premises unless there is an organised external activity.
Summit, our Sunday morning group for Y7+ now meets fortnightly alternating with Oxygen Xtended, our relaxed, café style service, which has been rebranded to reflect the period of free time at the end of the service for socialising and playing games. We are grateful to our guest speakers for bringing us interesting and thought-provoking topics.
By the end of the year Trustees had approved the new role and job description for a Youth & Children’s Leader and the position was duly advertised
Bob Prestwood, Youth Work Coordinator
Update on work with children and families.
As covid restrictions eased groups were able to restart.
Toddlers and Bumps and Babies re started in September. After a slow start these groups are now back to pre covid levels.
Sunday groups re-started but, due to low numbers and a shortage of helpers, the groups have combined into two groups instead of three. We hope to move back to more groups as numbers increase.
Messy Church is now running every month with crafts and a meal as in pre covid times. There is a booking system in place and numbers are good, most pre covid families have returned and some new ones have joined us.
Base Camp for Years 4 to 6 meets on a Wednesday evening with about six children regularly attending.
We are now doing regular half termly assemblies at Hallam School but have yet to resume the weekly lunch time Bible Club.
Special events are now able to take place. These have included a Family Film Night as an alternative to Halloween and an Easter Trail on Good Friday.
Nicola Ellis, Children and Families Worker
A3.8 Hallam Community and Youth Association
The long and positive relationship between our two organisations continue. St. Luke’s played a major role in the Hallam Community Fete in September 2021.
A3.9 Pre-School Nursery
Since 1st September 2003, the St. Luke’s Pre-School Nursery has traded as a “Company Limited by Guarantee with no share capital and with charitable status”. The directors are Claire Marr (chair), Alan Combe (secretary) and Phil Drake. The treasurer is Chun Tsang. The current Trustees of St. Luke’s Church are the ‘Members of the Company’. The directors meet regularly with the manager. The breakfast and after-school groups for school-age children ceased to operate at the end of 2020 due to
A 8
St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
falling numbers caused by the expansion of Hallam School’s groups. The Nursery mini-bus (used to transport children to and from school) became redundant and was disposed of. The holiday club also meets throughout the year. The Pre-School Nursery provided termly reports to the Trustees as well as its own separate annual report.
During the lockdown periods of the COVID crisis the Nursery was the only occupant of the church building. The staff took full responsibility for sanitizing, cleaning and security. Children of NHS and frontline workers were catered for. This was done very thoroughly and professionally. The provision of services through 2020-21 has been partly enabled by the Sheffield City Council providing the full grant despite lower attendance and some regular parents providing fees despite being unable to use the service. The staff have done a tremendous job over a long period under very difficult circumstances and deserve recognition and thanks for their courageous and diligent work.
From autumn 2021, the Nursery staff have adapted to the presence of other groups in the building and continue to operate successfully.
A3.10 Premises & facilities
-
Our premises, although heavily used, are well maintained and kept presentable. We are indebted to those who contribute in any way to maintaining such high standards, not least our Property Steward, Keith Bomford, supported by the Trustee Property Sub-Group, and our staff cleaner.
-
"Heavily used" in normal times means that virtually every available room in the church building is taken up by an activity every weekday. St Luke's remains an attractive venue for a wide variety of both church and non-church activities, ably managed by our Lettings Secretary Janet Else.
-
Such an intensive situation could easily create tensions between the different users, and occasional meetings of the leaders of groups who use the building take place to ensure that unintended consequences are avoided and managed. The need for communicating and managing the arrangements for car parking at larger gatherings and events is an ongoing challenge as we endeavour to be good neighbours.
-
During the Covid crisis a great deal of attention was paid to managing lockdown of the parts of the building not used by the Nursery, to liaising with Nursery staff to enable them to maintain a safe environment and to organising the safe use of the building when limited services and other activities were possible. We are greatly indebted to our Health and Safety Officer, Bob Prestwood, for keeping abreast of the changing guidance and advising the church on how best to use the premises.
-
With the relaxation of rules, the return to near-normal has been carefully managed. Responsibility for Covid precautions within group activities is formally placed with their leaders and is written into their hire contracts.
A3.11 Volunteers
In normal times a large proportion (probably 80%) of the members of St Luke’s give their time and abilities in a huge variety of ways to support the many activities listed. Many have been very active in less-visible ways for much of 2021. It is not possible to express adequate thanks in this report, but we are indebted to every one of them.
A4. Structure, Governance and Management
St. Luke’s Church and Centre is situated in Lodge Moor in the Diocese of Sheffield. It is a local ecumenical partnership (LEP) between Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and United Reformed Churches initially sponsored by Churches Together in South Yorkshire (CTSY). It is an independent charity, Registered Charity No.1136795. The correspondence address is: St. Luke’s Church, Blackbrook Road, Sheffield, S10 4LQ. The constitution is based on a standard LEP model.
A 9
St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
A4.1 Trustees
The Trust was formed on April 25th 2010. Up to twenty elected Trustees, plus the Vicar/Minister as ex officio and up to four co-opted members, are responsible and accountable for the management of the church. Since Autumn 2020 they now meet ten times per year, plus a brief meeting following the Annual Church Meeting (ACM) to elect the Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.
The method of appointment of Trustees is set out in the original Constitution. Potential Trustees are nominated and subsequently elected by church members at the ACM. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Membership Roll and to consider standing for election as Trustees or to other roles.
The Trustees are responsible and accountable for the management of St Luke’s Church as a whole. Where the specific responsibilities of a PCC are required, this role is fulfilled by the Anglican Trustees (usually the majority) with the Wardens, Lay Readers and Deanery and Diocesan Synod representatives.
None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the church. All of the Trustees are members of the church and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
Members are invited to raise issues for discussion by the Trustees and to attend meetings as observers. The approved minutes of Trustee meetings are published on the notice board and a brief digest is distributed to the congregation. Difficult decisions during 220 and 2021 meant that some meetings and minutes could not be fully public.
In June 2021, at a delayed Annual Church Meeting, the Trustees elected Rev. Dr Chris Ellis as Chair, Peter Armstrong as Honorary Secretary and Ashley Ellis as Honorary Treasurer. Following the resignation of the Treasurer, Nigel Thompson was elected Treasurer in October 2021.
The Trustees met on ten scheduled occasions during 2020, initially via Zoom and later in person. The average attendance was 18. A Standing Committee meets monthly to deal with minor business and arrange the Trustees agenda.
Changes were made during 2021 to reflect the need for certain positions always to be included among the Trustees, using the four co-opted positions allowed in the constitution. Those holding the positions of Property Steward, Health and Safety Officer and Pastoral Officer were co-opted to the Trustees, alongside the Safeguarding Officer, as a standard practice and these four were also made automatic members of Standing Committee. Pastoral matters are currently represented by another elected Trustee. The change opened up more positions for elected Trustees, which have not been completely filled (14 of a possible 20 elected, plus 3 co-opted persons, makes a group of 17 ) . This ‘shortfall’ is not regarded as an issue.

A4.2 Committees and subgroups
A Standing Committee consisting of the Vicar/Minister (when in post), Wardens, Secretary, Treasurer, coopted positions and one elected Trustee meets monthly. It is delegated by the Trustees to consider minor and urgent matters and prepare the Trustees agenda. Its terms of reference were clarified in 2021.
The Trustees also delegate responsibilities for certain areas to subgroups, which are chaired by Trustees and may include Trustees and other members of the church, invited for the specific contributions they can provide. The Vicar/Minister is an ex-officio member of each group but attends only when required. These groups report and make recommendations to the Trustees meetings. During 2021 the active subgroups were:
-
Compliance: overseeing policies and practices for Safeguarding, Health and Safety, GDPR etc.
-
Finance : (in fact an operational team) supporting the Treasurer with all aspects of Church finance
-
Property : supporting the Property Steward in overseeing the maintenance and repair of the premises and its physical facilities. This includes the premises Bookings Secretary and the Kitchen Supervisor.
-
Eco group: the sub group met once before lockdown and contact with Cathy Rhodes (Diocesan Environmental Officer) was established. This led to a very positive visit to Holy Trinity, Thorpe Hesley which has a Silver Eco Church award. Work towards Bronze Eco Church status continued by phone and email, and A Rocha granted St Luke's a Bronze Eco Church award during May 2021. We aim to build on this achievement during the coming year.
Following the Covid crisis and a recognition of different needs, the subgroups will be redefined in 2022.

St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
A4.3 Joint Council
Under the provision of the formal sharing agreement establishing the LEP, up to four members from each of the participating denominations are elected to a Joint Council to ensure equality in the use and maintenance of the Church Building, three from the congregation and one member of the denominational clergy. The Joint Council usually meets once a year.
A4.4 Congregational Meetings
The Annual General Meeting is held in Spring each year to elect Trustees and other officers and representatives and to receive the Annual Report. The outcomes are expressed throughout this Report.
In 2021 the meeting was delayed until June. Wardens and Trustees remained in post until these delayed elections.
An Autumn Congregational meeting is normally held in October to receive less-formal reports and make other decisions.
A4.5 Compliance
The compliance subgroup supports the Church’s ministry by overseeing policies and practices and endeavouring to ensure adherence to relevant regulations, legislation and denominational requirements. The remit of this group includes Safeguarding, Health and Safety, GDPR and matters relating to staffing, which includes employees and volunteers.
Safeguarding The Trustees have complied with the duty to have due regard to the House of Bishops’ Guidance on Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults.
Despite COVID difficulties and restrictions, safeguarding requirements continued throughout 2021. Faceto-face training was replaced by online courses, virtual identification checks for DBS when contact was not allowed and necessary conversations by ‘phone and Zoom. We continued to Safely Recruit new members, a procedure which operates for employees and volunteers.
Continuing from 2020, with less activities taking place, fewer people have been actively involved, whilst others took the opportunity to rethink their commitments. Some have nevertheless undertaken training, etc. so they were ready to resume their roles when activities restarted, and we are very grateful to them.
Safeguarding Policy
Our Safeguarding Policy was reviewed in July and is available on the Website, along with details of our Safeguarding Team and other sources of help.
Learning and Development Framework
The National Safeguarding Team published this new framework in April 2021. It places a strong emphasis on the change of culture needed throughout the Church of England and the importance of good training practices in achieving this. More training is now mandatory for specific roles. We aim to help people through this as much as we can. The increased number of online courses now available will make this more accessible to many.
Training
-
During 2021 some have completed Basic, Foundation, Leadership, Safe Recruitment and Raising Awareness of Domestic Violence and Abuse training.
-
An audit of the year’s training needs has been completed and plans put in place to ensure these are met. (see St Luke’s Church Safeguarding Training Analysis 2022).
-
Face-to face training will resume in 2022
-
Basic training, first introduced in 2020, has continued to be taken up allowing more people to be better equipped and more safeguarding aware for their important people facing roles.

St Luke’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021
Safeguarding Breaches and Causes for Concern
During the year we have been alerted to 1 potential and 2 actual safeguarding breaches, all of which were appropriately dealt with.
We were alerted to 5 causes for concern, of which one was external to the church. Whilst some could be dealt with internally, we are again grateful for the advice and support of the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisors in responding to the others.
Personnel
Elaine Curl is our Advocate for Vulnerable Adults. Fiona Stevens is our Children’s Advocate.
During 2021 we said goodbye to Michelle Foulkes our Deputy Safeguarding Officer and Administrator. We are very grateful for all the work she had done in running the admin side of safeguarding and her input into safeguarding, particularly in Youth and Children’s work. Following Michelle’s departure, we welcomed Nicola Ellis as our New Deputy Safeguarding Officer. Nicola brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role and is a great asset to the team.
Emily Kittle joined us for a while as safeguarding administrator but for personal reasons then also moved on. In November, we were pleased to welcome our new and current safeguarding administrator Ann Bell, who has engaged well with the steep learning curve involved as well as the many other areas of administration in a busy church.
In conclusion , continuing to promote a healthy, positive culture of good Safeguarding awareness and practice throughout St Luke’s, with everyone making safeguarding their responsibility and being prepared to report even the smallest concern, thus making our church a safer place for all to attend, continues to be our main aim.
Sue Prestwood, Safeguarding Officer
Health and Safety
Health and Safety issues, including reported accidents, are considered at every Trustee meeting and also at meetings of the Compliance Subgroup. All accidents, however trivial, are recorded in the accident book and reviewed as necessary to remove or minimize future incidents.
During 2021 Health and Safety considerations continued to be centred on Covid. The Covid group, formed at the outset of the pandemic, met regularly to implement new and update existing procedures in response to changing legislation and guidelines affecting how the building could be used, how services could be managed and how to communicate with the congregation – especially those who were housebound or could not use the internet. On all of these matters the group was advised by Bob Prestwood, our Health and Safety Officer, whose hard and diligent work is very much appreciated. Our gratitude also to all those who have contributed in any way in helping to keep St Luke’s Covid-safe.
A4.6 Treasurer’s Report to ACM
At the start of 2021 the finance team consisted of Treasurer, Ashely Ellis, Assistant Treasurer, Sue Craft, and Administrator, Michelle Foulkes. Michelle left St Luke’s employment in March to be replaced by Victoria Simpson and Ashley stood down in October to be replaced by myself. I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the whole congregation to offer our appreciation and thanks to Ashley for his service.
In the last several years St Luke’s has spent more money than has been donated, bequeathed or earned by other means, which cumulated with a loss at the end of 2020 of almost £26,000, exacerbated by reduced rental income owing to the pandemic.
Trustees had to take action, which consisted of a campaign to encourage more donations and a reduction in expenditure. Unfortunately, the only way to reduce expenditure effectively is to cut staff costs, and this process was implemented in the first half of 2021. At the same time our Youth Worker Andrew Foulkes decided to move to a new job at St Thomas Philadelphia.

St Luke's Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year to 31 December 2021 Over 2021 your donations have increased. for which I would like to offer the thanks of Trustees and expenditure has been reduced. As a result, we have made a small ex$5 at the end of 2021. but this should not be viewed as the end of our difficulties. General inflation is risin& and ener8V Costs are goin8 through the roof. Fortunately, our Gas price Is fixed until the end of August and our Electrictty until the end of January 2023. Thus in this financial year we will begin to feel the impact from the rise in Gas prices in the Autumn. In 2023 it will cost us around £12.0 more. In addition to this there are a number of property repair5 that we cannot put off much longer which will need to be carried out in 2022. We were able to pay our contributh)ns to our partner denomination5 in full over 2021. as well as our committed mission payments of £14,4(K) In full to Transforming Lr¥es for Gt>)d. Baby Baslcs and International Justice Mission IUMI. In 2021 you gave £150.157 which was enhanced by Gift Aid of £31.587 8iving a total donated of £181.744. We recelved no le8acies in 2021. An increase in total of £10,484 over 2020. Rental Income amounted to £16.341 compared to the last full normal year in 2019 of £27,181, down £10.840. Other income brought the totsl to £210,412 On the expenditure side we spent £207,347 which was £25,556 less than 2020. Withln the above. salarles amounted to £61,805. We are budgeting for £40,280 In 2022. Property Costs amounted to E8.128. As mentloned above l expect this to be higher In 2022. Adminlstratlon excludSn8 salaries amounted to £5.526. Thus the General Fund valuation had rlsen by £3,065 to £74,926 at the end of 2021. Hopefully, wlth your on8oin8 5UPPOrt we may make another small excess In 2022. The Bullding fund assets increased in value from £.235 to £98,723 as a result of Interest and stock market 8rowth durln8 2021.
