## _**The Parochial Church Council**_
The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England in the Diocese of Sheffield and operates under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 to undertake _ecclesiastical purposes_ and the Church Representation Rules 2020. Abbeydale and Millhouses PCC is a Registered Charity and ensures that its Mission serves the public benefit. The PCC approves and submits its Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), Sheffield Diocese and the Charity Commission.
The PCC comprises ex-officio: the Curate in Charge, an associate priest, a licensed lay reader, two lay workers and elected and co-opted PCC officers. There are up to twelve members elected by those on the electoral roll of the parish. Each year at the APCM normally one third of the elected members retire and members on the electoral roll of the Parish are encouraged to stand for election to office and membership of the PCC. The process has not been enacted due to the Interregnum this year. All members of the PCC are Trustees of the registered charity.
PCC members who have served from 1[st] January 2022 for the calendar year are:

The PCC met five times, to promote the Parish Mission: develop worship provision, prayer and study opportunities and outreach ministry, plan parish activities and to decide and monitor the budget, agree the Common Fund pledge and charitable giving allocation, allocate funds to committees, approve financial expenditure and financial reserves and plan the annual stewardship campaign.
The PCC and representatives met with the Archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham and Associate Archdeacon-Transition Enabler to prepare the Parish Profile and met for a Section12 meeting to agree the Parish Profile and the job description for a new Priest-In-Charge (Oversight Minister). The Archdeacon announced that Revd. Matt Wood would be appointed Curate -in-Charge for 12 months from July.

## _**Diocesan Synod**_
Ian Downing and Brian Wrigley are elected by the Deanery Synod to the Diocesan Synod for three years.

## **Achievements and Performance**
## _**Worship**_
_**Covid secure Services were undertaken in both churches and in St John’s church hall during reordering works in the first half of the year. Covid restraints were relaxed in the latter half of the year. All services were streamed live on-line via ‘Zoom’ and recorded and uploaded onto the website, including Holy Communion, All-Age Worship and Services of the Word on Sundays and Morning Prayer during the week.**_
A diverse programme of worship provided in both churches is intended to fulfil the spiritual needs of our Parish. During the Interregnum worship was led by Revd. Dr. Angie Lauener and a series of visiting priests. Following the appointment of Revd. Matt Wood as Curate-in-Charge he was supported in leading worship by our Associate Priest SSM Revd. Dr. Angie Lauener, Revd. Brian Cranwell, by our licensed lay reader; Michael MortonThorpe and worship leaders: Martin Flett, Nigel Harwood and Philippa Reed. The four Church Wardens, Deputy Wardens, sacristans, servers, lay communion administrators, intercessors, Directors of Music, choirs and musicians, sides-persons, vergers and sound assistants also undertook valued duties in supporting our services.

Separate forms of liturgy were used for occasions such as Mothering Sunday, Pentecost, Harvest, Advent, Christingle and Christmas. Children are prepared to receive communion by the Curate-in-charge. A robed choir and organ at St. John’s and Holy Trinity accompanied the singing. Occasionally the Handbell Team plays during communion administration. Everyone was invited to refreshments in the church halls after Sunday morning services and, on occasion, members celebrated birthdays and significant anniversaries with shared cake and wine.

Midnight Eucharist and Christmas Morning Communion was held at both churches. Crib figures formed tableaux under the altars to help focus worship on the Christmas Story and a large Christmas tree with lights added to the sense of wonder and celebration in both churches.

## _**Church Attendance**_
The average weekly combined church attendance including by Zoom, counted in October, was 120.
## _**Life Events: Baptism, Marriage and Funerals**_
The Parish promotes these Occasional Services as an important part of our Ministry.
We welcomed families to eight Baptisms throughout the year. Families of baptised children on their first four anniversaries had cards delivered with verses and prayers for the child as we believe it is important to keep in touch with these families and to welcome them as part of the Church family.
We were able to welcome families and friends to thank God in four marriage services. Fourteen funeral services were held at church and/or the crematorium that provided support to family members and friends in their bereavement and thanksgiving for lives lived in God’s Love. The internment of ashes is available in memorial gardens at both churchyards.
Deanery closing and we welcome those members to our branch that have chosen to join us to enjoy the fellowship and friendship the Mothers’ Union brings.
Each year we support the local Women’s Refuge and for the second year Warm Welcome who provide a rucksack with suitable items for Refugee Children arriving in Sheffield. This year we put an appeal out to the wider Church family and had wonderful and generous support.
Many thanks for this and all the support that enables us to achieve one of the Aims and Objectives of the Mothers’ Union, to help those whose family life has met with adversity.
## _**Pastoral Ministry**_
Contact with members is maintained by visiting or by telephone with those on the Pastoral Lists who are ill, lonely or housebound. Some have moved outside the Parish boundary into residential care but contact is still maintained. New names are added by request.
When requested Home Communion is taken to those unable to attend Church. It has been much appreciated when Matt has helped in delivering Home Communion. The Team supports the newly established monthly Communion service at Henleigh Hall.
In Autumn Matt started a Community Café at Holy Trinity alongside a small Tots Group on Wednesday mornings, offering a Warm Space including refreshments and a welcoming place to socialise with people of any age in the local area. This seems worthwhile after Covid made us very aware of single, elderly people feeling isolated and lonely. We need more helpers to assist with refreshments to make this a success.
## _**‘Community of the Cross of Nails’**_
The Cross of Nails is displayed in each church on alternate months. The ‘Cross of Nails Litany’ was said by members led by the Curate-in-Charge, Revd. Dr. Angie Lauener or Michael Morton-Thorpe outside Holy Trinity or St. John’s Church regularly throughout the year. We celebrated the ‘Community of the Cross of Nails Sunday’ at St. John’s on 26 September.
Matt encouraged and supported the Team in leading two Wholeness and Healing Services before Christmas.
Pastoral support meetings with Matt are very much appreciated and a good way of sharing our ideas, workloads and concerns. The Team helped deliver Christmas ‘Goodie Bags’ to the housebound. This new initiative by Matt was very well received and hopefully will be repeated next Christmas.
## _**Ecumenical Relationships**_
## _**Carbon Footprint**_
The Parish continues its strong relationship with Millhouses Methodist Church that also contributed regular editorial material to the ‘Trio’ magazine. The annual Sheffield and District Cambrian Society Service was hosted again at Christmas in St. John’s church.
## _**Bible Study and Study Courses**_
Bible Reading Fellowship’s ‘Guidelines’ were available three times a year by subscription, organised by John Shortland for members of the congregations. The PCC met at a special meeting to approve the sponsorship of Nigel Harwood on the Diocesan Foundation Course. A Parish Advent Quiet Morning was held at Whirlow Spirituality Centre in December led by Amanda Georgiou.
## _**St. John’s Mothers’ Union**_
Margaret Minns, the Branch Coordinator, reports we are pleased that we have been able to return to our regular meetings this year after the disruption Covid has had in all our lives.
There are now 27 loyal branch members including four members who are indoor members. The increase from 20 is due to some branches in the
Measures to reduce energy use are being undertaken in each building on an incremental basis, as appropriate. Proposals for solar panel installations at both church halls are in-hand. All our electricity is generated by renewable sources. We aim to meet the Church of England’s and Diocese’ target of zero net emissions by 2030.
## _**Support for disadvantaged people**_
- **Fairtrade Church:** The Parish of Abbeydale and Millhouses has Fairtrade Church status, providing support for farmers and communities in the Developing World by agreeing to purchase Fairtrade goods for Parish events whenever possible and promoting Fairtrade. A Traidcraft stall was held in the churches when Covid advice permitted and at our ‘Christmas is Coming’ event. We are grateful to Paul and Bev Ramsey for organising the stall that sold £750 of goods this year.
- **Grace Food Bank:** Together with other churches in South and Southwest Sheffield we continued to support the Grace Food Bank, that operates from Low Edges, with donations of food in our church buildings and financial contributions. We are grateful
6
for the generous gifts of food and Chris Wrigley’s organisation of the collections.
- **The Cathedral Archer Project** serving over 600 homeless people in Sheffield was the focus of our Harvest Appeal again this year. The Appeal included donations of food and other requisites.
- **Sheffield Credit Union:** £1,011 is deposited with the Sheffield Credit Union that provides affordable loans and financial advice to families in the Sheffield Region.
- **Baby and Toddlers Clothes Bank** collects clothes that are distributed outside the Parish using third party charities.
## _**Charitable Giving**_

The **Lent Appeal** this year was for **‘Sheffield City of Sanctuary’,** the **Harvest Appeal** was for the **Cathedral Archer Project** and the **Advent Appeal** , commencing with our Christingle Services was, as usual, for the **Children’s Society.**

- **‘Soulroots’:** Philippa Reed, our voluntary Parish representative and Chair of the Board of Trustees, reports: this has been a positive year for Soulroots, with much to be thankful for. We were able to resume youth work fully face to face in our new locations at Totley Rise Methodist and Dore Methodist churches. We welcomed new young people both to our Tuesday (social) and Sunday (faith) groups. In January we were pleased to appoint a new youth worker, Kelly to work alongside Mel following Christine’s departure in the Summer. As a result we have also been able to resume some of our schools work at Totley All Saints School, running the ‘Unique’ course (building selfesteem) as well as some transition activities for Y6 moving to secondary school. These have been well received and we have been invited back to do more in 2022-2023. We are immensely grateful for
the ongoing support, prayerful and financial, of Churches and individuals locally.
- **Church-sponsored uniformed groups:** Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers met weekly in the Parish Centre. Rainbows and Brownies met in St. John’s hall weekly and Rainbows, sponsored by the Mother of God Church, met in the Parish Centre.
## _**Community Outreach Mission**_

- **Trio Parish Magazine:** Volunteers edited, bundled and delivered Trio free to over 4,800 homes each quarter. The 24/28-page full-colour publication is designed to provide information for members of the Church and the community. Advertisements supporting local business aim to cover the increasing cost of production.
- **Community Support:** we welcomed back regular meetings of adult and children’s groups and family parties.to our church halls and Parish Centre. The St. John’s Fabric, Holy Trinity Hall and Parish Centre Committees supported these groups and managed the facilities and maintenance of the three buildings to a high standard.

## _**Parish Volunteers**_
_**The Annual Report demonstrates the scope and scale of our Parish Mission and contribution to the public benefit. The PCC is grateful for the diligent work of the Committees and the considerable support of all our members that gave their time and talents. This represents many hours of prayerful effort by Church members without whom the whole Parish Mission would not be undertaken.**_
## **Financial Review**
## _**Budget and Budget Forecast**_
The PCC approved the 2023 Financial Budget of £279,375 and a budget forecast for the five-year period to 2028 to help ensure the ongoing financial viability of the Parish Mission. In response to the request from the Diocese to increase our pledge by 8% based on our 2019 contribution the PCC agreed to pledge £75,600 to the Common Fund in 2023. The sum meets the Diocesan Ministry costs for our Parish and contributes to other parishes in the Diocese. It is proposed to use £10,000 per year from the Investment Account to seed-fund a new full-time Associate Priest.
However, we need to increase our planned giving _annually_ to meet the increasing Diocesan Ministry and Parish costs including our commitment to employ a full-time Associate Priest. We particularly need to take into account much higher than normal increases in energy costs.
## _**Financial Statements**_
We prepared our Financial Statements in accordance with Church of England regulations and the Charities Act 2011 using the accrual method.
## _**General Fund**_
Of the total income of £276,948 planned giving donations were £98,758, the majority of which were tax efficient and Gift-Aid Tax of £24,942 was reclaimed. The PCC expressed its gratitude for the regular generous giving of our members.
The remainder of General Fund income was received in open-plate collections, one-off donations, special appeals, parish events, investment dividends and the hire of Holy Trinity and St John’s church buildings.
General Fund unrestricted expenditure of £151,648 supported the Parish Mission which included paying £72,804 to the Diocesan Common Fund for Ministry. Expenditure included the PCC allocation of £10,000 to charitable giving, based on 10% of our estimated planned giving and a further £2,689 including gift aid tax, raised by special appeals, for several charities.
The Parish Administrator’s salary was reviewed and paid. The Directors of Music fees were reviewed and continued to be paid, based on the Royal School of Church Music’s guidance. Expenses were incurred by the Curatein-Charge, Associate Priest and pastoral workers. Trio Parish Magazine printing costs were £6,175 and advertising income was £4,785. Increases in advertising fees will enable printing costs to be largely recovered.
Holy Trinity and St. John’s Fabric Committees spent £8,180 on maintenance and repair of church buildings and grounds. General Fund expenditure also included £14,688 on other church running costs including insurance, upkeep of services, music, printing, stationery and licences and utilities. We bought new choir robes at St. John’s and the office costs were higher this year as we bought new computers and ancillary software and equipment. In addition, energy costs were £10,639 compared with £7,220 last year.
## _**Church Halls Fund**_
Our two church halls received hire charges this year from regular and oneoff hirers totalling £27,762 The cost of maintenance and repair to both hall buildings to a high standard was £18,206 including insurance, energy, utilities, cleaning and grounds maintenance.
## _**Parish Centre Fund**_
The Parish Centre received rent/license and service charges from the Croft Corner Forest Nursery and hire charges from regular and one-off hirers totalling £30,599. The cost of maintaining the building and grounds to a high standard including insurance, energy, utilities, cleaning, building repairs and improvements including £6,644 for new windows and grounds maintenance was £30,282.
## _**Capital Expenditure**_
The cost of the works, fees and furniture for the improvements at St. John’s were paid amounting to £241,046. 2.5% of the building contract price is retained until 2023. £180,000 was transferred from the Investment Fund to
8
help fund the costs of the work. We received £55,424 from the sale of redundant furniture, a very generous bequest from a former member of St. John’s congregation, gifts from church members and grants from Dore Village Society, The Benefact Trust and The Beatrice Laing Family Trust. £2,000 was received to support the provision of a new altar and chancel improvements at Holy Trinity.
## _**Restricted Funds**_
We purchased new robes for the choir at St. John’s. The Iris Kippax Music Fund stands at £242 and £250 was released from the former Vicar’s Discretionary Fund for a replacement altar at Holy Trinity now held in the General Fund. The rent deposit of £3,026 for the Croft Corner Forest Nursery is held in the Church of England Investment Fund to maintain its value.
## _**Designated Funds**_
The Investment Fund is designated to raise dividends towards the general parish ministry, seed-funding the appointment of an Associate Priest and future capital works.
## _**Financial Balances**_
We ended the year with a balance of £483,647. Current account balances are £50,865 (including General Fund £24,953, Halls £13,538 and Parish Centre £12,374). Net creditors £4,809. £5,595 is held in the Church of England Deposit Fund and £430,985 is invested in the Church of England Investment Fund. £1,011 is deposited with the Sheffield Credit Union.
## **Risk Assessment**
The assessed risks to the operation of the Parish Mission are mitigated as follows:
- **Fund Raising:** About 50% dependant on church members’ voluntary contributions, is maintained by an annual stewardship campaign appealing to church members to review and renew their planned-giving pledges including gift-aid. We claim tax relief on gift-aided planned giving and on cash donations of £30 or less up to £8,000 for each church building. Changes in gift aid taxation law are monitored. About 22% of income is raised through the hire of buildings that is maintained by an annual review of charges. 24% is raised through parish activities, grants, PCC fees and ‘Trio’ advertising revenue and 4% is raised through managed investments.
- **Ethical Investments:** The Church of England’s Deposit and Investment Funds are managed on behalf of the Church of England’s Board of Finance by CCLA.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Parochial Church Council of Abbeydale and Millhouses**
## **Year ended 31 December 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Parochial Church Council of Abbeydale and Millhouses ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Parochial Church Council of Abbeydale and Millhouses**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Year ended 31 December 2022**
## **1. General information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The Vicarage, 80 Millhouses Lane, Sheffield, S7 2HB.
## **2. Statement of compliance**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs.
## **3. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that the going concern basis is appropriate and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the opinion of the trustees, there are no areas of judgement or key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the financial statements, other than the policies shown below.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 December 2022**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Financial instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
