## **Reference and Administrative Information** 

St  George’s  Church  is  located  in  the  parish  of  Swallowbeck  in  south  western Lincoln. This Anglican parish is part of the Diocese of Lincoln within the Church of England. The church correspondence address is  St George’s Church, Eastbrook Road, Lincoln, LN6 7EP. 

The Parochial Church Council is a charitable trust (Charity Commission Reg. no. 1144018). 

PCC Charity Secretary address: 21 Dore Avenue, North Hykeham, LN6 8LN. 

## **2020 Overview: The Unprecedented Year** 

Early 2020 saw the onset of the worldwide pandemic of the Coronavirus (Covid 19 virus).  From  March  most  workplaces,  shops  and  all  offices,  restaurants,  pubs, institutions and schools were closed down, including our church and hall. People were instructed to stay at home. Travel virtually ceased. Indoor gatherings were severely  restricted.  Our  mid-morning  services  moved  online  via  Facebook  and Youtube. PCC and other gatherings including monthly prayer evenings and Expect evening services also moved online via Zoom bookings. 

A temporary summer lockdown relaxation enabled previously curtailed 9 a.m. inperson church services to resume in July with attendance restricted by sociallydistanced  seating,  and  the  resumption  of  afternoon  Messy  Church  in-person services. 

Much effort was devoted to keeping in touch with members of the congregation without internet facilities and to supporting the elderly, vulnerable single person households and people with underlying health issues through hand delivery of shopping, medications, church newsletters, etc. Under revised Church of England guidance, our Annual Parochial Church Meeting was postponed to 18 October. Our thanks go to all those involved in thinking and operating ‘outside the box’ during this difficult year, particularly our PCC members and those involved in pastoral care and prayer support.

## **Structure and Governance** 

The PCC is a corporate body established by the Church of England. It operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The method of appointment of PCC members (Trustees) is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. The registered charity is an umbrella organisation which also oversees the running of the Swallows Nest Pre-School and Stepping Stones charity shop and cafe, both of which operate in our Church Community Hall. The independently examined end-of-year financial statements for the Church, the Hall, the Pre-School and Stepping Stones are published in the overall financial accounting process. 

## **Management** 

The PCC nine times during the year, receiving reports, proposals and items for discussion from various sources. For most of the year day-to-day management of church and hall matters (including maintenance of both buildings) was delegated primarily to the Church Wardens, two part-time administrators, a Site Management Team, a part-time Site Handyman, and a Standing Committee. The management of the Swallows Nest Pre-School was undertaken by the PCC through a sub-committee formed for this purpose. The Trustees, along with the incumbent (our vicar), have remained responsible overall for major policy and spending decisions, as well as for the  continuing  spiritual  and  pastoral  development  of  the  church,  its  mission initiatives and relations with the local community. 

## **Aim and Purposes** 

The primary aim of the PCC is to promote the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according  to  the  doctrines  and  practices  of  the  Church  of  England.  The  PCC remained  responsible  for  co-operating  with  the  incumbent,  the  Reverend  Tim Voltzenlogel, in promoting throughout the parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is specifically responsible for the maintenance of St George’s Church Community Hall, situated within the church site. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at St George’s. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve people of all ages and different backgrounds. Our services and worship put faith into practice through scripture and prayer (including an open church and prayer room during some daylight hours), sacrament and 

2 



music, and other creative arts such as textile craft, drama and use of visual media, though their conventional scope was necessarily reduced by Covid restrictions. 

The range of our activities for the year has reflected the Charity Commission’s advice on public benefit and, in particular, its supplementary guidance on charities seeking the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their Christian faith as part of our parish community by the following means: 

- Worship  and  prayer;  learning  about  the  Gospel;  and  developing  their knowledge of and trust in Jesus; 

- Provision of pastoral care for the wellbeing of people living in the parish; 

- Mission and outreach work both locally and overseas. 

The main objectives in 2020 carried through from a previous PCC resolution in 2018 that all our activities fulfil at least one of five specific purposes: Worship; Fellowship; Discipleship; Ministry; and Mission. In practice most of the year was devoted to doing as much as we could in and through the church and hall for our congregation and parish community amidst varying degrees of Covid lockdown and strict health and safety requirements. This report therefore concentrates on the positives  which  emerged  during  the  year,  as  listed  below.  As  we  faced  the challenge of Covid 19, we were fortunate that our staffing level was strengthened as we welcomed the appointment in May of Jonny Bell, our full time Children’s and Family Outreach Worker, and Kath Pickering, who joined us as a Licensed Lay Worker in early July and was ordained as Curate in September. 

- Under our vicar Tim’s leadership we responded to the first lockdown by setting  up  a  St  George’s  Taskforce  whose  members  helped  deliver  food shopping, medications and monthly church newsletters to the most vulnerable,  particularly  the  over-60’s  and  those  with  underlying  health conditions. This assistance also tied into the City Council’s broader efforts to help others in the parish. 

- A bumper edition of the Easter church newsletter was compiled to include: 

      - personal writings to inspire hope and trust in God in the face of the pandemic; 

      - Ideas for things to do using online resources for isolated readers; 

      - voluntary  service  initiatives  meriting  participation and support, e.g. Food Through Adversity’s home cooked meals service for over-65’s in Lincoln and south Lincs; 

      - messages for youngsters to access via the Joy Foundation; 

      - availability of free radios for the over-70’s; 

      - a mental health helpline; 

      - various volunteering opportunities during lockdown; 

      - how to join in the Spring Harvest at Home initiative through Youtube; 

      - extra website ideas for St George’s Yarn Group participants; 

      - Easter wordsearch and colouring sheets. 

   - The church remained open weekly for private morning prayer on a weekly basis when lockdown relaxation allowed, and our monthly Monday prayer 

3 



meetings adapted to Zoom gatherings when lockdown limitations constrained church gatherings. 

- Opportunities were given to participate in corporate prayer initiatives such as the Lincoln Diocese 24/7 prayer initiative against Covid and the 22 March  ‘Light  a  Candle  of  Hope’  national  day  of  prayer  organised  by Churches Together in England. 

- Publicity was given to Salted Orange Food Company’s not-for-profit service to over-65’s of three home-cooked meals a day from mid March, helping to combat the initial supermarket stockpiling frenzy and the Covid lockdown itself. 

- Attention was drawn to the Church of England’s publication ‘Supporting Good  Mental  Health’  with  its  prayers,  Scriptures  and  practical  tips  for dealing with lockdown struggles. 

- One of our St George’s lay staff made his ‘How to Stop Worrying’ leaflet available. 

- Publicity was given to the Virtual Keswick Convention to be held at the end of July. 

- Our vicar Tim ran his personal ‘Tim’s Doodles’ online initiative, including competitions  for  the  best  rainbow  pictures  painted  by  and  put  up  by families on their front windows. 

- We launched the St George’s Dial-a-Sermon service in May. 

- Publicity was given to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s free national phone line initiative 

- and to the Thy Kingdom Come global prayer movement at the end of May with its 

audio and hardcopy resources. 

- From early May, to help keep in personal touch with our church youngsters during lockdown, members of our Young Church team wrote and handdelivered a series of ‘Birds of the Bible’ hardcopy studies including artwork, quizzes and drama readings. 

- In July the Alpha course, suspended earlier in the year, resumed on Zoom.; 

- In early August an online Holiday Club was run for preschool and primary age groups, with hardcopy versions of the material also available. 

- At the end of September the Stepping Stones charity shop was able to resume in the church hall’s large room on a fortnightly basis on Wednesday mornings, albeit until tighter lockdown restrictions were re-imposed within three  months.  Lockdown  restrictions  had  previously  been  respected  by initially making second hand books, magazines and jigsaws available as front porch ‘takeaways’, and later by offering goods and refreshments in front garden morning sales within easy walking distance of church. 

- Remembrance Sunday in November was marked by the painting of small stones on the gravel outside the church hall to depict a very large poppy, with opportunities for visitors to write cherished names on small white crosses for prayer. A backdrop of artwork on the hall’s outside noticeboards was also mounted on the Remembrance theme. 

4 



- In October a Harvest Prayer Labyrinth was set up on the grass outside church. A neighbourhood ‘Windows of Light’ light-themed discovery trail and an online photo contest were also promoted for youngsters to link in with their ‘God's World’ half-term craft activity. 

- In November the Nomad Sock Appeal was publicised to support Lincoln’s Nomad shelter for the homeless, and St George’s also joined in the Harvest and Christmas appeals for the Lincoln Foodbank. 

- At the end of November, 24 hours of prayer marked the end of a month of prayer against Covid and set the scene for a daily online Advent devotional calendar, ’24 Days of Hope’. 

- In December Stepping Stones held a ‘Christmas special’ sale in the church hall. 

- By December we gained Fair Trade church status with the awarding of a Fairtrade Foundation certificate. 

- In December we joined with Bridge Church in Lincoln to support voucher provision for low income families missing out on free meals during the school holiday. 

- For several days in December a Nativity Scarecrow Trail in front gardens around the local neighbourhood attracted numerous visitors to learn about the nativity story. The trail ended in church at the life-sized tableau of shepherds, three kings, Mary and Joseph gathered around the baby Jesus. But as one visitor commented, it was very naughty to have included a figure of Santa Claus at one of the trail stations. 

- During the year our Eco Group led initiatives such as installing solar panels on the hall roof, switching our utilities to green energy providers, clearing one  of our overgrown site borders and planting it with bee and insect friendly plants and seeds, and giving tips in the church newsletter on such matters as garden vegetable growing and forming wild meadow garden areas. 

The lockdown intensified the work of our parish lay workers, led by Tracey Steele and Helen Brooking, to whom we owe many thanks, particularly for continuing to reach  out  to  vulnerable  people  not  on  the  internet  and  those  struggling  with reduced carer services. Their work helped support many people through regular phone calls, emails, texting, shopping, garden and front doorstep chats, church newsletter deliveries, etc. 

From 1 June, Government policy encouraged early year’s educational settings to open to provide childcare for working parents. The PCC therefore gave this priority and it was a great credit to the staff and committee of Swallows Nest that in September the preschool welcomed 22 new children and the return of 3 from the summer term, the children to staff ratio capacity reaching the maximum permitted, with a long waiting list as places become available 

. 

The three months window in the last quarter of the year enabled the Stepping Stones shop to re-open temporarily on a fortnightly basis, but other lockdown 

5 



health  and  safety  requirements  (particularly  the  very  strict  cleaning  regime) precluded the operation of any other community activities in the hall. 

Our Safeguarding Officer, Helen Brooking, continued to work with others during the year  to  secure  the  PCC’s  compliance  with  its  duty  under  section  5  of  the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have regard to the House of Bishops’  guidance  on  safeguarding  children  and  vulnerable  adults.  The  PCC adopted the following during the year: 

- Grievance and Complaints Policy 

- Action Plan for Promoting a Safer Church 

- Domestic Abuse Policy 

- Policy for Video Conferencing with Under-12’s and Young People 

- Policy for Housegroup Video Conferencing including Vulnerable Adults 

- Parish E-Safety Policy 

- Facebook User Policy 

## **Services** . 

Covid lockdown restrictions regrettably necessitated the suspension of our monthly afternoon  Prospects  and  Taizé  Sunday  evening  services  from  April  for  the remainder of the year. However, from July it was possible to resume shortened 9 a.m. in-person services in church (no singing!), while the mid-morning services were live-streamed on Facebook and available afterwards as videos on Youtube. From July, several monthly Messy Church services were offered in-person in church or  as  streamed  services  according  to  changing  lockdown  restrictions,  while monthly Sunday evening Expect services were held online. 

Once  each  month  the  online  mid-morning  service  comprised  a  Worship  for Everyone service suitable for all the family, while Jonny Bell also introduced his online  Thursday  Thoughts  for  youngsters  and  a  series  of  separate  Zoom teaching/participation sessions for junior and secondary age youngsters, including games, lively worship songs and simple crafts. Themes covered by Jonny included ‘Heroes of Faith’ and the ‘I Am’ sayings of Jesus. 

For Christmas the 20 December Sunday Evening Carol service was online, and the Christmas Eve Midnight Communion service was in-person in church. On Christmas Day the 9 a.m. Christmas Communion service was also in-person in church, while the mid-morning Christmas Celebration service was online. 

Our online services were a new experience for many of those leading and helping. Our thanks 

go to Adam Keen and Lindsey Slapp for all the time and resources they devoted to setting up the services and for enabling participants to familiarise themselves with the new way of working. 

## **Mission and Outreach across the world** 

6 



In terms of making grants or donations, the church continued to tithe 10% of gross income 

from plate giving and regular planned giving to a range of overseas, national and local mission projects. The church supported a range of different organisations/missions/charities across the year. The main local mission support included the Joy Foundation (resources for children). The main overseas mission beneficiaries included the Service of Hope (homeless  children  and  marginalised families,  Olinda,   Brazil);    St  George’s Church, Baghdad (sister  Anglican  church, Iraq)   and   the   Maasai   Evangelistic  Association  (teaching  and  community resources for the Maasai people in Kenya). 

## **‘The Crossing Point’ Annex Project** 

A major administrative achievement was the final resolution of the failed ‘Crossing Point’ Annex Project. The PCC recognised a ‘course correction’ was required. All donors who requested the return of their money from its fund-raising received the proportion of their donations we were able to pay after the appropriate deduction by law for expenses incurred in the project. Some donors re-directed their money to other church funds, for example the Church Re-ordering Fund, which reached £14,000.  Any  remaining  money,  raised  through  fundraising  events  or  given anonymously, was retained pending determination by the Charity Commission as to how it may be used. That amounted to roughly £21,000. 

The ruling received from the Charity Commission allowed that money to be used “for the promotion of religious and other charitable work of the Church of England in the ecclesiastical parish of St George’s, Swallowbeck, including the repair, reordering, improvement, maintenance and/or extension of the church”. The PCC resolved to use this money in a way that fulfils the original Crossing Point vision as far as possible, and honours the intentions of those who gave or raised money for the original project. A group comprising some PCC members and others from the church would have started meeting in March to begin to plan in detail how we will use these funds, but Covid restrictions pushed the commencement of this work beyond the end of the year. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

At the October 2020 APCM it was reported that there were 138 parishioners on the Electoral Roll, compared with 146 in 2019. The total attendance at services in the representative month of October 2020 was:

(N.B. These are figures from the Statistics for Mission Annual Returns required by the Diocese. They are based on averages of the representative Sundays in the month of October as opposed to entire 

7 



year averages. A ‘Fresh Expression’ classification is a form of church established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet “members” of any church, i.e. Messy Church in the case of St George’s. Sunday services usually comprise: 9am, 10:45am, 6.30pm, Prospects 3pm and Messy Church 3pm services but these were curtailed by the pandemic and only one service was offered each Sunday during October 2020) 

During the year the church held one wedding, four funerals (with a further seven being held at 

the crematorium but led by our clergy), one baptism, and two Naming and Blessing services / 

Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child services. 

In the **Statistics for Mission report** submitted as required to the Church of England, the approximate attendance figures for church provision online during the representative month of October averaged 91 and the total number of different individuals was considered to be 163. 

## _**When  considering  attendance  at  church  online,  the  level  of  genuine involvement is very difficult to ascertain .**_ 

## **Thanks** 

St George’s could not sustain its services, activities and large site without the tremendous help of numerous unpaid volunteers from the congregation and their friends. Thanks are due for their hard work in keeping St George’s the spirited community it is. Everyone is encouraged to be actively involved in the church’s life in some way. Thanks are also due to our Readers and prayer intercessors at main church services; to all our Authorised Lay Ministry team for their varied parish work; and to the finance team. 

Thanks  go to  the  PCC  for their  dedication, hard work  and leadership; we  are enormously grateful for our vicar Revd Tim Voltzenlogel and all he continued to achieve despite his fragile health until he passed away on Palm Sunday, 28[th] March 2021. We also want to convey our thanks to our churchwardens Richard Smith, Debby Jones and Del Gunter, and to Linda Hymas as church Treasurer, for their dedicated service. 

## **Financial Review** 

Many thanks are expressed to Clive Carlton, John Flynn, Clare Moore and Colin Mayers for all their data work and banking duties behind the scenes in support of Linda Hymas as Treasurer. The main financial elements of the year were: 

- Total receipts from unrestricted giving (purpose unspecified by donors) were £113,519 of which £96,124 arose from Gift Aided giving and tax refunds, £1,535  from  Payroll  Giving,  and  £15,860  from  unrestricted  voluntary donations. 

- Planned  giving  through  envelopes,  banker’s  orders  etc.  increased  by approximately 7.3% over the previous year. 

8 



- Restricted giving amounted to £42,720 and originated from Gift Aided giving, tax refunds and specific donations; of this £42,029 was given for use by the church, the remainder was for good causes supported by the church. 

- £94,851  was  spent  from  unrestricted  funds  to  provide  for  the  Christian ministry of St George’s Church, including a contribution of £41,011 to the diocesan parish share, which decreased by 1% over the previous year. 

- Gifts of £11,794 from unrestricted funds (being the 10% mission tithe) were given  to  external  organisations  and  individuals  as  determined  by  the Trustees, taking account of established mission links, their objectives and needs. There are no upper or lower limits of support. 

All  major  insurable  risks  have  remained  subject  to  normal  Churches’  and Employers’  insurance  through  Ecclesiastical  Insurance  Group.  Our  day  to  day bankers have remained HSBC, 221 High Street, Lincoln, LN1 1TS. 

## Restricted Reserves Fund 

£20,554 is currently held in a Scheme (established on 18[th] November 2020 by the Charity Commission for England & Wales) known as the Crossing Point Appeal Project. In accordance with Clause 3 of the Scheme, funds have been set aside in Restricted Reserves to meet any claims (less expenses properly incurred by the scheme) within 6 months from the date of the scheme or to meet any claims by donors who have not been identified or cannot be found. 

Subject to the provision of Clause 3, trustees must apply any remaining funds “for the promotion of religious and other charitable work of the Church of England including the repair, reordering, improvement, maintenance and /or extension of the Church”. 

## General Reserves Policy 

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance of General (Free) Reserves which equates to at least 3 months’ unrestricted payments in the church accounts. This is equivalent to £23,713 for the Church and £3,050 for the Community Hall.  It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the General Reserves in the church accounts at the year end was £75,273.91 which exceeds the target, an improvement on the previous year. 

Swallows Nest Pre-School currently holds £20,900 in General Reserves, which also exceeds the 3 months’ target of £13,041.
