| Section C | Objectives and activities |
Aims and purposes
The PCC of St Mary & St Michael's, Egremont 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. It also has maintenance responsibilities for St Mary & St Michael's Church and hall at Egremont, St John's Church and St John's House at Bigrigg and Thornhill Mission Church.
Objectives and activities
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. We aim to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community. We have adopted the overall objectives of being: “A church for the town and a town for the church”.
Page 3
Our activities comprise 4 main areas:
-
To maintain, develop and renew public acts of worship held regularly within our church buildings
-
To provide pastorally-relevant religious ceremonies open to all parishioners for baptisms, weddings and funerals.
-
To extend the knowledge of and education in Christian teaching to both church members and members of the parish, within our acts of worship and through specific teaching opportunities, such as, confirmation groups and Sunday schools
-
To provide pastoral care to members of the church and any parishioners in need of spiritual, social or practical support.
The PCC acts to underpin all these activities by provision of well-maintained buildings.
Section D Achievements and performance
Ministry Team.
The Benefice Ministry Team is financed and supported by the Churches in the Egremont Benefice. It is financially independent and reports in its own right.
Some Extra Parochial Land at Moor Row was absorbed into Egremont Parish during May, but this effectively formalized what locals had thought was the way the boundaries fell for some years.
Rev Melanie Appleby, Rector of Egremont, resigned on the grounds of ill health at the end of February. Consequently, the Arch-Deacon covering our area, Ven Richard Pratt and the Rural Dean, Canon Richard Lee, and his assistant Rev Allen Banks have all taken active roles in overseeing the management of the Parish.
Rev Dr Duncan Jackson continued to complete some outstanding sections of training whilst fulfilling his calling to the Ordained Ministry and became the sole resident ordained Team member, initially as Curate and from the beginning of November as Non-Stipendiary Associate Priest.
Alistair Norwood, a Reader from St Bridget’s Moresby, David Rudd and Rev John Woolcock have stepped in when requested to help with various services, including funerals.
None of our work would have been possible without generous and substantial efforts from volunteer clergy, readers, retired clergy and ministers from other parishes within the West Cumbria area, supported by lay members of the parish.
Public Worship Services.
COVID-19 pandemic disruptions diminished as time went by and the Parish returned to receiving communion in two kinds during the Spring.
Tuesday morning Communion services have continued in the Hall Supper Room. Those attending preferring the more comfortable surroundings during the cold months, whilst appreciating the informality the room imposes.
Fifth Sunday Benefice Services, moving around the churches in the Benefice including Haile, continued and we made our first visit to Thornhill Mission at the end of October when Bishop James came to take part in the service to begin their 90[th] Anniversary celebrations.
Page 4
Life Event Services.
Baptism services provide an important life ritual event for parishioners, who probably hardly ever attend a normal service. Altogether 64 babies or children were baptized in our churches and welcomed as members of the Christian Church.
During 2022, five couples were married in our churches.
Funerals continued as a contact with the wider community in the Parish. During 2022 we were responsible for 41 funeral services, either at one of our churches or the local crematorium. All included some measure of pastoral contact with people who may not be regular church goers.
Community interaction.
Connections with other denominations and local churches in the aera continued. Members of our congregations participated in the series of Lent Lunches, the Walk with the Cross throughout the local area during Holy Week, a Pentecost Praise service in the Market Hall, the Egremont Town Crib blessing and carol singing, all organized by the Churches Together group. Wreath laying took place at the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday, followed by a Civic Service organized by Egremont Veterans’ Club through Churches Together at St Mary & St Michael.
Our events throughout the year were advertised via posters, local Facebook pages and by a direct e- mailing list. In the run up to Christmas postcards with details of the main Christmas services in all of the Egremont churches were distributed across the Parish
St Mary & St Michaels hosted as concert in early June to mark the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II and in September a service was organized to mark her death, as Crab Fair had been cancelled. Both were open to the local community. Egremont Christmas Winter Wonderland event was held on the Main Street after a few years break and we were approached by the council to run a mulled wine stall, which was very successful.
All of our churches held Harvest Festival services during the autumn, with Cleator Moor Brass Band provided the music at Bigrigg.
Around thirty people attended the All Souls service in St Mary and St Michael at the beginning of November, which provided an opportunity for those who had lost loved ones during the previous year to pause and remember.
Thornhill Mission Church held a successful Carol Service which brought in some residents who wouldn’t normally attend, as did the Carols ‘n Brass at Egremont. Christingle Services at both Bigrigg and Egremont were well supported.
School work has resumed and Rev Dr Duncan Jackson has renewed contact with several of the local schools. We were able to welcome Bookwell School (Reception - Year 6) into St Mary and St Michael for both their Harvest and Christmas celebrations.
Throughout the year various Coffee Mornings and Fairs were held by all three congregations, all of which were attended by people with irregular contact with the churches.
Egremont church hall has continued to provide a meeting place for a wide variety of groups from the local community ranging from craft sessions and music makers, through exercise groups to social support gathering. Several groups have continued regularly over many years, others hiring for short periods or one-off events.
The Mothers’ Union met throughout the year, but are looking for a new leader to take them into 2023.
Page 5
St. Mary and Michaels's Toddler group continues under the leadership of Mrs Anne Mawson. This has proved to be excellent in community outreach and filling a need for families of young children.
A couple of editions of the magazine were produced but items for inclusion were thin on the ground, production was difficult and distribution a challenge, so publication has been suspended for now. Instead, our Parish Administrator runs an e-mail circulation list to advise people of events.
Pastoral Care.
As with most our regular activities, our regular ministry offered to people unable to attend services, i.e. home communions, a monthly worship service at a local care home and sheltered accommodation complex, were all suspended with the pandemic. Home visiting has now resumed for those who are part of a life event service and others in need.
Whilst confined to home with covid restrictions some members of the laity, undertook regular telephone calls to those living on their own, in need of support or to those who they would have been meeting up with in normal times.
Building Management.
Observations of the rear wall at Bigrigg to continue, in an attempt to determine the source of the water ingress which caused the plaster issues.
Neither Egremont nor Thornhill required major building works during 2022, although an external door at
the latter had begun to rot and was replaced.
Following the water ingress in the storage areas of the Church Hall towards the end of 2021, the roof of was replaced.
Planning for the Future.
With decreasing membership due to the aging population of the area, it is clear that adjustments are needed to develop new expressions of worship to connect with younger people and nurture our role in the community.
A New Start Team is to be formed, with the brief of growing the church and hopefully we will be in a position to advertise for a replacement Rector soon.
Section E Financial review
The trustees' policy on reserves:
The PCC has a policy of maintaining reserves in its general funds (i.e. Non-designated funds) only sufficient to ensure it can maintain positive cash flows throughout the year. This policy will assist with the PCC's aim of contributing the maximum possible to the costs of full-time ministry within Carlisle Diocese.
For the Egremont Hall, the policy is to operate as a self-funding activity, so that it does not place a burden on the general funds. To this end it will accumulate reserves (annually by about 5% of its turnover) against the inevitable need to maintain and renew the building and facilities.
Designated funds have been established as means to fund the repair, maintenance and renewal of church buildings where the demands greatly exceed any provision that could be made from the general funds. These designated funds will build substantial reserves, over many years, but targeted against planned projects.

Statement of Going Concern.
No funds are in deficit to a level below the recommended level of four months’ worth of income. The financial commitment to the Carlisle Diocese for 2022 was honoured. Open Plate Offertories have increased with more funeral and baptism services being held in our churches. Social events resumed during 2022, which have also boosted the income.
The Trustees are satisfied that there are sufficient reserves and the probable income to ensure that the charity is a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary & St Michael’s Egremont
This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31st December 2022 is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulation 2006 and section 144 of the Charities Act 2011.
Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner
The PCC's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The PCC's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared:
-
in accordance with The Charities Act 2011, the PCC (2006) and the Charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practices) 2015.
-
under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value and the value of the freehold land and building, which is shown at estimated use value by the PCC (see Fixed Asset section).
Page 11
Funds
-
General Funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions or designations regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC.
-
Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
-
The Endowment Funds came from the sale of the Jubilee Hall in Moor Row. They are invested in the CBF and managed through Carlisle Diocese. There are two elements.
oA cash deposit of £2,750, interest from which goes to Bigrigg Designated Funds.oAn element invested in 1,678 shares. Income from which also goes to Bigrigg Designated Funds. -
After discussion with the Diocese about the terms of the trust concerning St John's House, it was decided to account for rental income as a separate restricted fund. This enables the PCC to demonstrate that the income has been rightly used for the maintenance of St John's House itself and for the maintenance of the stipendiary ministry.
-
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
Income
Voluntary income and capital sources
-
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
-
Planned giving receivable under covenant is recognised only when receivable.
-
Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when receivable.
-
Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for when notification is received of the payment due, i.e. when the PCC is aware it becomes probable it will receive a quantifiable sum of money.
-
All fees income is accounted for gross through Income and all portions of fees passed on to vergers, organists and the Diocese are included in Expenditure.
-
Funds raised by the fetes, coffee mornings and similar events are accounted for gross.
-
Sales of books and magazines are accounted for gross.
Other income
Rental income from the letting of church property is recognised when the rental is receivable.
Income from investments
Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable.
Gains and losses on investments
Although not accounted for separately:
-
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold.
-
Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31st December
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Page 12
Activities directly relating to the work of the Church
Under the current system of parish offering, individual offers from St Mary & St Michael's, St John's and Thornhill Mission are combined for presentation to the Calder Deanery area of the Carlisle Diocese.
Fixed assets
Freehold land and buildings
Freehold land and buildings represented historically in the accounts consist of Egremont Church Hall and a house at Bigrigg.
Egremont Church Hall is valued at the cost of the property improvements completed in 2002 adjusted by depreciation on a straight-line basis at 2% per annum, on the grounds that it is on a difficult site to sell, should the need arise, and is deteriorating with use. Eventually it will require replacement.
There has been discussion with the Diocese over the status of St John's House and it has been recognised that it is legally the property of the Diocese. However, agreement has been reached for St John's Church to manage the property and to receive the letting income.
Investments
Investments are valued at market value at 31st December.
Current assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with the CBF Church of England funds or at the bank.
