Kathryn Malkin was thanked for all her work maintaining the Electoral Roll for the last few years, however, as the system was moving further and further into digital collating and production of statistics etc, the PCC agreed that Nigel would be appointed Electoral Roll Officer moving forward. During the year 4 names were removed as they had passed away, and none were added. The Electoral Roll now stands at 84. In March 2025 the Electoral Roll will be renewed. ## **Nigel H-S (Electoral Roll Officer) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024** The members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC), who are the trustees of the charity, present the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2024. ## **Aim and purposes** The Parochial Church Council (PCC) works with the incumbent to promote, in the ecclesiastical parish and benefice, the whole mission of the Church. It is important to remember that this is God’s mission in this place and includes: pastoral care, evangelistic outreach, social events and social justice and ecumenical events and partnerships. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church of St George, Mossley. ## **Objectives and Activities** The PCC is committed to welcoming as many people as possible to worship at this church and to become part of the parish community at St George’s. The PCC maintains an overview of worship in the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can better welcome and involve the people who live within the parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament, always with the aim of glorifying God. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and particularly the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Especially, we try to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: - Worship, 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. - Care for God’s creation. - Advocating for justice. ## **Church life & activities** 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. In 2024 we introduced child focused Activity Mornings, providing crafts and games, during school holidays. ## **Structure, governance, and management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St. George’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, Deanery Synod members and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who are members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC, unless there is any criterion which prevents them from doing this. 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. New members and those with new roles are to receive advice and initial training into the workings of the PCC. ## **Reserves policy** The PCC does not currently have a reserves policy on unrestricted funds. ## **Administrative information** St George’s Mossley is (with St John the Baptist Roughtown) part of the Benefice of Mossley, which is part of Mission Community 6 within the Deanery of Oldham and Ashton, the Archdeaconry of Rochdale and the Diocese of Manchester within the Church of England. The Parochial Church Council is a body corporate (The Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended) and a registered Charity. **The Parochial Church Council** At the APM on 5[th] May 2024, the following were elected Churchwardens: current term expires Mr Nigel Hossle-Standring APM 2025 Mrs Jo Hossle-Standring APM 2025 |Ex Officio members of the PCC

We now use the Safeguarding Dashboard, as recommended by the Diocese, to guide our safeguarding procedures. Action plans/ summaries created by the dashboard are presented and discussed at PCC. 5. The PCC revisit and approve the **‘Safeguarding Policy: Promoting a Safer Church’** on an annual basis. 6. We create an environment, which is welcoming and respectful and enables safeguarding concerns to be raised and responded to openly, promptly and consistently. 7. If there were any known offenders or others who may pose a risk to children and/or vulnerable adults they would be effectively managed and monitored in consultation with the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser. 8. We comply with all data protection legislation especially in regard to storing information about the ‘church workforce’, including volunteers and any safeguarding records. SUE WARBURTON March 2025 ## **Churchwardens’ Report 2024** Nigel and Jo Hossle-Standring were re-elected as Churchwardens at the APM on Sunday, 5th May 2024 for a one year term. ## **Periodic testing and inspections** **Lightening conductor** A new company was found to test and certify the lightning conductor. The Church’s lightening conductor has passed and a new compliance certificate issued. Our insurance company require 4- yearly testing. **Gas appliances** The gas burners for the overhead heating and the heaters in the Church room had their annual inspection and new compliance certificate issued. **Fire extinguishers** had their annual inspected and certified. **Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)** was done in 2023 and is next due in the middle of 2025. ## **Maintenance** ## **Roof, gutter and gullies maintenance** Throughout the year the gutters and gullies on the roofs have been inspected, cleared out and maintained on multiple occasions. ## **Exterior flood lights** Several of the flood lights along the side of the Church have been replaced when they failed. They are all now less than 2 years old and will hopefully last 5 plus years. ## **Toilet walls** The décor in the toilet is degrading and paint is flaking from the walls. All the walls were scraped clean of loose paint. A project is proposed to re-decorate in the near future. ## **Tarmac Party 2** This had to be postponed because the cold-lay tarmac and any equipment could not be delivered on a Saturday. Additionally, if we were to hire equipment, most hire companies close at lunchtime on a Saturday. We could not take a delivery on a weekday and then securely store (from vandals) the equipment anywhere overnight. The tarmac would be too heavy to store inside on the Church floor. A local contractor who was working locally was contacted, with a view to them assisting us with a donation of tarmac and any expertise; we also suggested we might engage them for a day if they were prepared to help us : there has been absolutely no response. ## **Backdoor** The back door (under the tower) has been cleaned and re-painted. ## **Printer** New rollers have been installed in the printer so the paper rarely jams in the printer anymore. ## **Re-plastering above the Mothers Union Chapel** It is now over 5 years since the roof repair work was carried out above the Mothers Union Chapel. We were advised not to re-plaster for this length of time to allow the roof timbers and walls to fully dry out. Quotes are now being sought for the re-plastering work. ## **Walls above Memorial Chapel and in the Choir Vestry** Rainwater has managed to get in the Choir Vestry and Memorial Chapel. This has led to the plaster falling off the walls in the vestry. The Church maintenance team have removed all the loose plaster (several hundreds of lbs in weight) to make it safe. The architects have been engaged to prepare a repair plan and job list. This will allow builders to quote on a level playing field for the repairs. It is estimated to be around £15k. ## **Garden of Remembrance** The Garden of Remembrance is regularly maintained by a group of gardening enthusiasts and professionals. The memorial plaques are pressure washed twice a year. ## **Tameside Tree cutting** Following the tornado in Stalybridge at the end of 2023, Tameside council have carried out tree maintenance on two trees in the churchyard, one next to Anthony Street, the other by the entrance on Fox Platt Road. This work was carried out without consultation with the Church. ================================================================== ## **HODS 2024** The Church was open on Saturday and Sunday 14/15-Sep-2024 for the ‘ _Heritage Open Days’_ annual event. This year included an art competition on the theme of ‘Routes, Networks and Connections’. Artworks were created by young people from our schools and uniformed organisations. They were displayed and on the last day were judged by a local prominent artist, and prizes given. ## **Easter, Christmas and SATs cards** Easter and Christmas cards detailing service times on these occasions have been designed and printed. They were hand delivered by Church volunteers. Cards of encouragement for were sent to St. Georges school students sitting their SATs. ## **Christmas trees** The Christmas trees were delivered for the start of Advent. They cost £280 for two 9” and one 15” and were funded by the 200 Club. They were decorated by the Church site management team. ## **Breakfast with Santa** In early December Santa took time out of his busy schedule to visit Church whilst the children had breakfast. ## **Memorial services** Memorial services for the recently departed were held in Church by Elizabeth Way and Anthony Barton Independent Funeral Services. ## **Visiting vicars** In 2024 we were helped by the following visiting clergy: Ray Morris, Hilda Wild, Martin Rogers, Christopher Halliday, Peter Selby, Cait Walker, Ian Brocklehurst and Bishop Mark. ## **St. George’s School** In September the School and Church hosted a joint MacMillan Coffee ‘Day’. The school was also in Church for the following services: Communion Service, School Leavers Assembly, School Harvest Festival, KS2 Eucharist and Christingle and Carol Service at Christmas. The children were also brought in to see the silhouettes ‘ _There, Not There’._ Children’s Activity mornings were held during the summer and autumn holidays. ## **Vicarage security** In mid December an attempt was made by a couple of individuals to gain access to the vicarage via the garage door. They were disturbed by a passerby and hence did not gain entry. The garage door has been checked and security devices added to prevent the garage door being opened. The security lights outside the vicarage and on the south-west wall of St. John’s Church have been replaced by our maintenance team. ## **Bell ringers** The Lancashire branch of bell ringers have held several practice rings at St. George’s during the year. ## **Diocesan Attendance Survey and Income Survey** The Attendance Survey and Income Surveys were completed in October and the figures uploaded to the Diocesan Data website. The Income Survey forms have been forwarded to the Deanery. ## **Flag** The site team changed the flag (donated by the Mullaney family) on Easter Saturday. Denise also ventured up the tower to have a look. ## **Projects** ## **Heating** We have identified a way to ‘zone’ the heating is the Nave. This will allow either the north or south sides of the church to be heated independently so only heating the side in use or both sides for a service in the whole Nave. This will of course save money on energy usage and count towards our ECO Church efforts. ## **Church lighting** In November the site team replaced 9 dead light bulbs in Church Nave. The replacements were ones that were either new or used that were found in the little vestry. We have a project to replace all the lighting in Church with LEDs. This is estimated to reduce our lighting energy requirements by 75%. Replacing them would cost about £350 and would count towards our ECO Church efforts. ## **Sound System** The sound system in Church has been upgraded and refurbished. The existing CD player was having issues playing a growing number of the hymns from CDs. We had received a legacy from a professional musician, and it was felt fitting to use the money on the sound system. A Hymnal was purchased (a music device containing over 7300 hymns and religious songs), a mixing desk and proper shelving to mount all the equipment in the cabinet. The system can now accept music from the hymnal, CDs, mobile phones, MP3 players and Bluetooth devices. The new system was first used on Sunday 30-Jun 2024 and blessed into service by Revd Christopher Halliday. ## **Jo and Nigel Hossle-Standring (Church Wardens)** ## **Deanery Synod Report** Oldham and Ashton Deanery Synod met in February, July, and October of 2024. Topics discussed included – Focal Leadership, Working with Manchester Diocesan Board of Education to build strong connections between our Churches and Schools, and Growing Churches for All Generations, along with regular updates on clergy vacancies, finance and Eco Church. Many thanks to our Deanery Synod members, who faithfully attend meetings and events throughout the year. Provided by the lay chair of the Deanery Synod Liz Dent ## **Mothers’ Union St George’s Mossley Branch** In 2024 we had 29 members and on the 9[th] May after the Ascension Day service, Revd Denise enrolled and welcomed Cathryn Richardson to our branch. Our June meeting was cancelled and the church open for quiet prayers to remember our dear friend Dorothy. On the 11[th] July we welcomed the return of our Deanery Eucharist and tea. All visiting members were delighted to be reunited with so many friends/members. Our support of the Rise UP Against Domestic Abuse Campaign continued with the delivery in December of 7 bundles of bedding to the Ashton Refuge. Each bundle consisted of a single duvet, duvet set, single sheet, 2 pillows and a bath towel. We are proud, as a branch to have achieved the Rise Up Bronze Award in recognition of our support to date of the campaign. Several members/friends enjoyed evenings together at the George Lawton Hall to see _9 to 5_ on the 24[th] October and _Sister Act_ on the 28[th] November. We held our annual hamper raffle, and the winning tickets were drawn during Breakfast with Santa on the 7[th] December. We enjoyed an amazing morning with a lot of happy smiling children meeting Santa. Jo agreed to stand as our MU branch Safety and Safeguarding Officer. Thank you Jo. Sadly, in July we lost another member Margaret Brooks. Dorothy and Margaret will be sadly missed by us all. - Carole Hibbert ## **200 Club** At the end of December 2024 we had 146 numbers allocated. A huge thank you to new and long standing members whose support provides church with funds to donate to such as:- Daffodils for distribution on Mothering Sunday Contribution towards the Easter lilies School leavers’ gifts Minor repairs and renewal jobs carried out in the church building and grounds “Special events” such as afternoon teas and other social get-togethers held to celebrate national events etc Our beautiful Christmas trees The new 200 Club year starts in July 2025. - Carole Hibbert ## **STEWARDSHIP & GIFT-AID REPORT 2024** 38 Parishioners regularly gave to support the life of our church. ## Gift- Aid & Other Planned Giving 20 Gave through their Bank Accounts of these, 14 were able to G.A. & 6 O.P.G. 18 Gave through the use of weekly Offertory Envelopes of these 10 were able to G.A. & 8 O.P.G Carol Winterbottom ## **Junior Church Report:- January – December 2024** We started off the year with 3 groups but by the summer, due to the lack of numbers, made the difficult decision to have just one combined group starting in ## September. We meet in the Church room on a Sunday morning during the service and we go into Church for the blessing at the end. Our groups run from September to August to tie in with the school years. There are currently 11 children on the register with an average attendance of 4 children. We link the activity and game each week to one of the readings in Church. We start each session with the collect and the Lord’s prayer which we share together. Then we do a start up activity which is usually a game. This is followed by the main part of the session where we read from the Bible and discuss issues surrounding the story. We then have an activity/craft linked to the Bible reading. Due to a decline in numbers, we had to make another difficult decision that we couldn’t have a Rose Queen for 2024-2025. Our Rose Queen Izabel and her retinue – Abigail and Gracie- had a retirement afternoon where she split the funds she’d raised between Church and Junior Church. She had a few visiting Queens attend and it was enjoyed by all who came. In October we had our annual prizegiving. Charlotte gave a certificate and small gift to her group for attendance. In Debbie’s group Gracie, Frankie and Abigail received prizes and in Kathryn’s group Annie, Martha and Romi received prizes. The Sue Carley trophy was presented to Gracie Burgess. In December, our Christmas presentation was based on a poem by Holly Girth called ‘The meaning of snowflakes’. We added hearts and fingerprints to the wreath which symbolised God’s love, our Church family and how individual we are. We also said goodbye and good luck to Charlotte who is moving to Scotland to start a new job as a cancer research scientist. We gave her a gift and a card so she can remember us. We look forward to seeing her when she visits friends and family. We are looking forward to all that 2025 brings. Debbie, Kathryn and Charlotte ## **Vicar’s Report** 2024 saw a big change in our service pattern. I was encouraged to bring the arrangement in which I alternated between churches each Sunday to an end and to be at Mossley and Stalybridge each week. This also meant changing the time of the service to make it half an hour later. This change happened in August. We introduced activity mornings for families during the summer holiday and were very pleased by the response. We opened the church on Monday mornings and offered games, crafts and refreshments for free to anyone who came along. We repeated this for two mornings in the autumn half term. We pray that our efforts to reach out will bear fruit. The building remains a concern, and I am grateful to those who do their best to maintain the church fabric. A new leak appeared in the vestry, and we are currently awaiting advice from the church architect. We began to have regular soup and sandwich fellowship after the service. These have proved popular, and thanks go to those who cook the soup and make the sandwiches as well as those who do the washing up afterwards.
