## **Structure, governance & management**
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operated under the Parochial Church Council (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Church Representa5on Rules 2011. The PCC is a Registered Charity.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representa5on Rules. All church abendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for elec5on to the PCC.
## **Aim and purposes**
The primary purpose of the PCC is to promote the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and prac5ces of the Church of England. The aim of the PCC is also to cooperate with the Team Rector in promo5ng in the Team Parish the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelis5c, social, and ecumenical. It is responsible for all team finance and for the upkeep of the church buildings in the team.
The Team currently has a mission statement: -
‘We aim to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and make God’s love real by our service in the community’
## **ObjecKves and AcKviKes**
The incumbent and the PCC confirm that they have considered the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in par5cular, the specific guidance on chari5es for the advancement of religion.
The PCC has con5nued to fulfil the aims of the church by providing regular services of worship in each of the churches in the team when possible during 2021 as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic when restric5ons have allowed.
Average abendance in the team during the year was 106 (57 – 2020) adults and 10 (0 – 2020) children. There were 7 (1- 2020) bap5sms in the team, 4 (0 – 2020) weddings and 47 (34 – 2020) funerals.
In the Minster the hospitality provided to those in need, free of charge on a daily basis through food and beverage provision in the Minster Refectory was forced to cease in March 2020 and a decision was made not to reintroduce this service when the Refectory reopened as other organisa5ons were now providing this service. The Refectory reopened in July 2021 within the permibed Coronavirus guidelines. In addi5on, a number of events have taken place at the Minster throughout the year once Coronavirus restric5ons were relaxed and some space available for rent in the building has used. Public worship on Sundays resumed
DTP 2022 Annual Report and 2021 Accounts Rev03
Page 4
when permibed ensuring that Covid 19 guidelines for keeping people safe have been followed.
During the past year, St John’s church also reopened for public worship and ac5vi5es between the church and school have recommenced, albeit limited and within Covid guidelines.
Similarly, at Holy Trinity Church all ac5vi5es had been interrupted, but Sunday worship services recommenced when permibed.
As always none of this would have been possible without the assistance of the volunteers who have helped to ensure that the buildings have been as safe as possible to enter.
During the last year, the PCC has con5nued to comply fully with its du5es under sec5on 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 in par5cular its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
## **Achievements and performance**
2021 was Revd Simon Cash’s fifh full year in post. During the year, Revd Dr Dorothea Bertschmann was ordained priest. Revd Cash also relinquished his role as Area Dean of Dewsbury & Birstall in June 2021.
2021 began as a follow on from 2020 with a great deal of uncertainty around due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. It was not possible to operate as we had been doing pre Covid and even when we reopened the buildings, we were restricted in what we could do by Covid. As the year progressed however the restric5ons began to be lifed and we looked at ways to move forward in what was considered ‘the new normal’.
Des5na5on 211, the bus ministry has con5nued to operate during the year, and its outreach into both Chickenley and Dewsbury Moor has abracted the interest of a growing number of young people and families.
Despite being able to meet again for worship in church we have as a Team con5nued to provide an online presence during the year. Sunday worship from the Minster is live streamed every week on Sunday morning and Morning Prayer is live streamed daily. The Wednesday evening Bible Study group has con5nued to meet via Zoom each week, while the Thursday afernoon group have been able to meet together in church each week. It is encouraging to see the numbers of people engaging with online content on a regular basis.
The ability to offer residents communion in local care homes has con5nued to prove difficult with Covid restric5ons on visi5ng meaning this has been limited. It is hoped that as restric5ons ease visits to the homes might recommence.
The greatest challenge in the Team remains our finances. We have managed to keep our ‘paid staff’ employed at the Minster thanks largely to both the Governments Job Reten5on
DTP 2022 Annual Report and 2021 Accounts Rev03
Page 5
Scheme and also a significant grant from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund. Even so we have been forced to use our reserves which are becoming increasingly depleted. Clearly this cannot con5nue indefinitely, and we are looking at ways of increasing our income while at the same 5me con5nuing to monitor and control our costs.
As expected 2021 was another challenging year. It will be interes5ng to see if things seble down in 2022 as restric5ons are hopefully lifed.
## **Services and Worship**
**Dewsbury Minster** 10-30am Holy Communion –Sunday each week
**St John’s** 10-30am Holy Communion – Alternate Sundays with Holy Trinity.
**Holy Trinity** 9-30am Holy Communion – Alternate Sundays with St John’s
## **Financial Review**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Chari5es Act, 2011, the Chari5es (Accounts and Reports) Regula5ons 2008, the Charity Commission's Statement of Recommended Prac5ce (SORP) on Accoun5ng and Repor5ng by Chari5es, the Church Accoun5ng Regula5ons 2006, the PCCs (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Church Representa5on Rules. Funds are shown as either unrestricted (available for applica5on on the general purposes of the PCC) or restricted (available exclusively for a par5cular purpose). Most unrestricted funds are designated by the PCC for a par5cular purpose for the 5me being. The accounts include all transac5ons, assets, and liabili5es for which the PCC is responsible in law and do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affilia5on to another body. All items less than £500 are deemed immaterial and included as sundries unless they are considered relevant to the reading of the accounts.
The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
2021 was once again a difficult year. The Coronavirus pandemic dragged on longer than I think anyone imagined it would, and further lockdown restric5ons meant that we were not able to func5on as we had pre Covid for at least the first 6 months of the year. Even when we did start to reopen our buildings, the number of people abending services was lower as some people understandably felt the need to con5nue to isolate. In addi5on, the Minster Refectory has not got back to pre-Covid levels of business due in the main to a reduced foomall in the town generally. Thankfully, we con5nued to receive support through the Job Reten5on Scheme and other grant funding, but since this ended, we have con5nued to struggle to cover our costs. I am grateful to our paid staff who in an effort to help agreed to reduce their paid contracted hours
DTP 2022 Annual Report and 2021 Accounts Rev03
Page 6
and to give back by offering to work one day per week on a voluntary basis. In 2022 we hope to regain some of the lost foomall and efforts are being made to abract visitors to the Minster in par5cular by hos5ng concerts and other such events on a more regular basis.
Total income for the year fell to £152,906 (200,261 – 2020), despite a successful grant award of £69,000 from the Cultural Recovery Fund, as well as other grants too. Our expenses, whilst being 5ghtly controlled, s5ll amounted to £187,142 (£193,634 – 2020). Included in this was some £20,000 in one-off payments for repairs to Holy Trinity. Not taking these or the grant income into account the Team Parish lost an es5mated £35,000 during 2021.
Clearly, this is not something that we can sustain in the medium/long term. I would like to thank all who give regularly to the life of the Team Parish for their con5nued support in these challenging 5mes.

‘We aim to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and make God’s love real by our service in the community’
## **ObjecKves and AcKviKes**
The incumbent and the PCC confirm that they have considered the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in par5cular, the specific guidance on chari5es for the advancement of religion.
The PCC has con5nued to fulfil the aims of the church by providing regular services of worship in each of the churches in the team when possible during 2021 as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic when restric5ons have allowed.
Average abendance in the team during the year was 106 (57 – 2020) adults and 10 (0 – 2020) children. There were 7 (1- 2020) bap5sms in the team, 4 (0 – 2020) weddings and 47 (34 – 2020) funerals.
In the Minster the hospitality provided to those in need, free of charge on a daily basis through food and beverage provision in the Minster Refectory was forced to cease in March 2020 and a decision was made not to reintroduce this service when the Refectory reopened as other organisa5ons were now providing this service. The Refectory reopened in July 2021 within the permibed Coronavirus guidelines. In addi5on, a number of events have taken place at the Minster throughout the year once Coronavirus restric5ons were relaxed and some space available for rent in the building has used. Public worship on Sundays resumed
DTP 2022 Annual Report and 2021 Accounts Rev03
Page 4
when permibed ensuring that Covid 19 guidelines for keeping people safe have been followed.
During the past year, St John’s church also reopened for public worship and ac5vi5es between the church and school have recommenced, albeit limited and within Covid guidelines.
Similarly, at Holy Trinity Church all ac5vi5es had been interrupted, but Sunday worship services recommenced when permibed.
As always none of this would have been possible without the assistance of the volunteers who have helped to ensure that the buildings have been as safe as possible to enter.
During the last year, the PCC has con5nued to comply fully with its du5es under sec5on 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 in par5cular its duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
## **Achievements and performance**
2021 was Revd Simon Cash’s fifh full year in post. During the year, Revd Dr Dorothea Bertschmann was ordained priest. Revd Cash also relinquished his role as Area Dean of Dewsbury & Birstall in June 2021.
2021 began as a follow on from 2020 with a great deal of uncertainty around due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. It was not possible to operate as we had been doing pre Covid and even when we reopened the buildings, we were restricted in what we could do by Covid. As the year progressed however the restric5ons began to be lifed and we looked at ways to move forward in what was considered ‘the new normal’.
Des5na5on 211, the bus ministry has con5nued to operate during the year, and its outreach into both Chickenley and Dewsbury Moor has abracted the interest of a growing number of young people and families.
Despite being able to meet again for worship in church we have as a Team con5nued to provide an online presence during the year. Sunday worship from the Minster is live streamed every week on Sunday morning and Morning Prayer is live streamed daily. The Wednesday evening Bible Study group has con5nued to meet via Zoom each week, while the Thursday afernoon group have been able to meet together in church each week. It is encouraging to see the numbers of people engaging with online content on a regular basis.
The ability to offer residents communion in local care homes has con5nued to prove difficult with Covid restric5ons on visi5ng meaning this has been limited. It is hoped that as restric5ons ease visits to the homes might recommence.
The greatest challenge in the Team remains our finances. We have managed to keep our ‘paid staff’ employed at the Minster thanks largely to both the Governments Job Reten5on
DTP 2022 Annual Report and 2021 Accounts Rev03
Page 5
Scheme and also a significant grant from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund. Even so we have been forced to use our reserves which are becoming increasingly depleted. Clearly this cannot con5nue indefinitely, and we are looking at ways of increasing our income while at the same 5me con5nuing to monitor and control our costs.
As expected 2021 was another challenging year. It will be interes5ng to see if things seble down in 2022 as restric5ons are hopefully lifed.
## **Services and Worship**
**Dewsbury Minster** 10-30am Holy Communion –Sunday each week
**St John’s** 10-30am Holy Communion – Alternate Sundays with Holy Trinity.
**Holy Trinity** 9-30am Holy Communion – Alternate Sundays with St John’s
## **Financial Review**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Chari5es Act, 2011, the Chari5es (Accounts and Reports) Regula5ons 2008, the Charity Commission's Statement of Recommended Prac5ce (SORP) on Accoun5ng and Repor5ng by Chari5es, the Church Accoun5ng Regula5ons 2006, the PCCs (Powers) Measure 1956 and the Church Representa5on Rules. Funds are shown as either unrestricted (available for applica5on on the general purposes of the PCC) or restricted (available exclusively for a par5cular purpose). Most unrestricted funds are designated by the PCC for a par5cular purpose for the 5me being. The accounts include all transac5ons, assets, and liabili5es for which the PCC is responsible in law and do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affilia5on to another body. All items less than £500 are deemed immaterial and included as sundries unless they are considered relevant to the reading of the accounts.
The accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
2021 was once again a difficult year. The Coronavirus pandemic dragged on longer than I think anyone imagined it would, and further lockdown restric5ons meant that we were not able to func5on as we had pre Covid for at least the first 6 months of the year. Even when we did start to reopen our buildings, the number of people abending services was lower as some people understandably felt the need to con5nue to isolate. In addi5on, the Minster Refectory has not got back to pre-Covid levels of business due in the main to a reduced foomall in the town generally. Thankfully, we con5nued to receive support through the Job Reten5on Scheme and other grant funding, but since this ended, we have con5nued to struggle to cover our costs. I am grateful to our paid staff who in an effort to help agreed to reduce their paid contracted hours
DTP 2022 Annual Report and 2021 Accounts Rev03
Page 6
and to give back by offering to work one day per week on a voluntary basis. In 2022 we hope to regain some of the lost foomall and efforts are being made to abract visitors to the Minster in par5cular by hos5ng concerts and other such events on a more regular basis.
Total income for the year fell to £152,906 (200,261 – 2020), despite a successful grant award of £69,000 from the Cultural Recovery Fund, as well as other grants too. Our expenses, whilst being 5ghtly controlled, s5ll amounted to £187,142 (£193,634 – 2020). Included in this was some £20,000 in one-off payments for repairs to Holy Trinity. Not taking these or the grant income into account the Team Parish lost an es5mated £35,000 during 2021.
Clearly, this is not something that we can sustain in the medium/long term. I would like to thank all who give regularly to the life of the Team Parish for their con5nued support in these challenging 5mes.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
the Team Parish of Dewsbury
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on
pages
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The churches. trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The churches,
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities
Act 2011 {the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act).,
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act),. and
To stste whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The proGedures 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 malters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examiner's statement
In conr)ection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
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 2011 Act- and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requiremenls of the 2011 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.
