All clergy in the deanery are Ex Officio but only the above take up their right to come to this PCC.

2. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is registered with the Charity Commission.

Elections to the PCC are held annually, all members of the church electoral roll are entitled to vote and stand for election, and to serve for either one, two or three years, with the exception of the ex-officio deanery synod members who are elected for a period of three years. A person who has served as a churchwarden for six successive periods of office is disqualified from being chosen for the office until the annual meeting of parishioners to elect churchwardens in the next year but one following the date on which that person vacated office at the end of the last such period, this being in accordance with The Churchwardens Measure 2001. However, on the 15[th] of January 2014 it was agreed at an Extraordinary Annual Meeting of PCC Members and Parishioners that for a period of 3 years the restriction of Church Wardens terms of office to 6 years will be lifted in the Parish.

There is also provision for the co-option of members of the PCC and the incumbent is the chairman and an ex-officio member.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The object of the PCC administering the affairs of St John the Baptist and All Saints Easingwold together with the Church of St Mary at Raskelf is to further the work of the Church of England in the Parish and to do this in co-operation with the Vicar in promoting in the Parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

To discharge these responsibilities, under the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956, powers have been conferred on the PCC to:

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

There has been a regular weekly pattern of worship throughout the year and the general work of the parish has been maintained. For the details relevant to 2020 see the separate reports which include comments from the Churchwardens, PCC Secretary and others.

5. FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £165,243 (including a legacy of £80,000) of which £33,808 was unrestricted planned voluntary donations, and a further £9,164 was from Gift Aid. Restricted grants and donations of £14,125 were also received, the majority of which were from grants and trusts drawdown. Planned giving through envelopes and bankers’ orders decreased by 14%, largely owing to church closures during the Covid epidemic, but that loss was somewhat mitigated by an increase in casual donations of £4,807.

Excluding the one- off legacy of £80,000, the net result across all funds shows a deficit of £16,771 compared to a surplus of £10,044 last year, in other words, a drop of £26,815. This directly reflects the impact of Covid- related restrictions.

The Diocesan Parish Share, which increased by 1.5% to £66,000, was fully met. This was agreed before 2020 and was honoured throughout the year; but, in light of subsequent events, the PCC decided to reduce the payment for 2021 to £60,000. This contribution goes towards provision of stipends, housing and Diocesan expenses and is a voluntary but expected contribution.

5.1 Restricted and Other Designated Revenue Funds:

Under the Charities Act accounting regulations, the restricted and designated funds must be identified separately.

The restricted funds are the Church Fabric Fund, Missions Fund and the Raskelf R&D Fund. The designated funds are the Parish Church Rooms Fund and the Raskelf General Fund.

2

Full details of income and expenditure are provided in the financial statements and a summary with reconciliation figures to the net assets is shown in the report.

5.2 Investments & Capital Reserves:

These are shown at cost value in the PCC Balance Sheet of the Financial Statements. Market valuations, where available, are shown in the notes to the accounts, for information.

5.3 Revenue Reserves Policy

It is the PCC policy to maintain a balance on non-restricted funds (if possible) which equates to approximately six months’ unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance on unrestricted and designated funds as at 31st December 2020 is satisfactory for this purpose.

5.4 Other Accounting Considerations

As in previous years, the accruals basis of accounting has been applied in the production of the Financial Statements and the PCC is registered with the Charity Commissioners in accordance with The Charities Act 2011, the registration number being 1145021.

6. ELECTORAL ROLL REPORT

The number of persons on the Electoral Roll as of 31 December 2020 was 173. (Easingwold 138, Raskelf 35).

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

The full PCC met seven times during the year in addition to the annual meeting held in October.

AIM AND PURPOSES

Easingwold and Raskelf Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Margaret Young, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the Parish Rooms on Tanpit Lane, Easingwold.

SAFEGUARDING STATEMENT

Easingwold and Raskelf PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the “Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).”

The PCC has put processes in place for the assessment of the Disclosure and Barring Service through the Churches Child Protection Advisory Service. All members of the PCC are required to have DBS clearance.

WORSHIP AND PRAYER

The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. For example: Evensong provides a quieter meditative space whilst our midmorning Sunday services provides more outgoing worship which is more attractive to younger people. We continued Ignite, our Fresh Expressions, for the young people, but owing to people moving away, our Inspire group folded. This year we have had to legally suspend services due to Covid, these were restarted in August with restricted numbers attending. We started in Holy Week to use Zoom to make our services available.

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Our Children’s Ministry has been affected badly by Covid restrictions. Church Mice, like other church services have been suspended since March and have not restarted. We hope to restart these when lockdown is over. Ignite has managed to continue on Zoom and we have managed to continue with the usual format of starting with a drink and quiet prayer and discussion on a Biblical theme. There follows an activity which can be craft or music based. Our family service on the second Sunday of the month in the afternoon has continued on Zoom, but our preschool members of the congregation find Zoom difficult and are looking forward to being back in church.

EASINGWOLD CHRISTIAN YOUTH

Report on JAM (Jesus and me 11-18) churches together youth club. Jan - December 2020

In January and February, we opened on Monday nights 6-8pm. Alan Hake led and was supported by Caroline Charters and Charlotte Cranfield. We had a challenging group of 15-20 mainly 15-17year olds. We have been engaging these youngsters by playing pool, sitting and chatting and providing them with refreshments. We had quite a good relationship with the youngsters, but it was proving difficult to do our mid-session input. Meanwhile Cath Toase and Chris Geeson with input from a professional artist were doing artwork with Create (art group) on Tuesday nights. Towards the end of February there were some problems with behaviour for the Create group, so we agreed to shut that group down for 2 weeks. A meeting for the Create, Jam and Cozie (village youth club) staff was arranged to discuss the problems and provide support for each other. Our intention was to reopen Create towards the end of March. Well, we all know what happened then! Sadly, since then due to

4

COVID we have not been able to reopen the Jam and Create groups.

It is unlikely that we will be able to reopen either group until after Easter 2021, but we will finish the Create project with Chris Geeson when COVID allows. JAM group likewise will reopen as soon as possible.

I have managed to keep in touch with the youngsters due to my involvement with Cozie youth club (village youth club) where I am the chairperson. At Cozie we managed summer outdoor activities and we have been able to keep in touch with a new younger group. I feel confident that some if not all of them will attend JAM when we are able to reopen. Hopefully this time next year we will have better news.

Alan Hake

OTHER SERVICES

As well as our regular services, there have been 1 wedding and 40 funerals between the two churches.

Most of our additional services did not take place but we were able to have VE and VJ Day events in the Market Place which were recorded and then played as part of the main service on Zoom. This modern technology has allowed films to be easily shown during the service. The Remembrance Sunday service was run along the same lines, with the addition of Alex Cranfield singing Pie Jesu, accompanied by Peter Smith on the organ.

We were able to hold Harvest Festival services with restricted numbers which were also on Zoom. We were unable to have our usual Harvest meals with the Methodists in Easingwold, or at the Old Black Bull in Raskelf.

Our Christmas Carol Service was online with a small choir in the Parish Church. Technology means that the sound quality was not as good on Zoom as it is in person.

Our Advent Course and Lent courses were organised by Churches Together in Easingwold and District (CTED).

CHURCH MUSIC – 2020

Organists and Choir members continued to support the regular weekly church services, the organists being Alfred Boddison, Bill Henebury, John Kirman, and Peter Smith. It is pleasing to add to this organist list the name of John Dunford, a musician residing at Raskelf. Peter Smith continued as organists’ co-ordinator and Alfred Boddison arranged the choir matters and practices. Services from March were only provided by the Zoom system ‘on-line’ for those at home who could connect to this procedure. The organists continued to provide music, but with no congregational singing except in the parishioner’s homes.

The annual Carol Service in Easingwold Church was on the 20th of December and the ‘Boot Shop’ Carol Service likewise that month and both under the Zoom procedure.

New singing members for the church choir are always welcomed and it is hoped practices will again be held in 2021 - normally Mondays at 4.00 pm in the choir stalls - as soon as the pandemic is beaten and music arrangements can return to “normal”.

BELL RINGING

The year started quite normaly, we were discussing ringing for VE day when we went into the first lockdown. We rang a single bell at Easingwold for VE day and tolled the tenor bell 75 times for VJ day.

We started limited service, ringing at Easingwold when the church opened in August, no practices were allowed, and this was again suspended when the second lockdown came into force. We have lost one ringer, Catherine Sturdy, to Malmsbury and look forward to a more lively year in 2021.

THE CHURCH PARISH ROOMS

Unfortunately, we have lost many bookings at the Parish Rooms and this means that they are no longer viable. We have had to close the Parish Rooms, and this meant that we had to make Mrs Moss redundant as caretaker in the Autumn. We thank her for her hard work over the year. The use of the Parish Rooms was declining before lockdown and this has only exacerbated the situation. The long-term future of the Parish Rooms has yet to be decided.

ADMINISTRATION

Sally Dixon has been our Parish Administrator over the past year, we thank her for all that she has done. Unfortunately, due to Covid, her workload has decreased. We hope that she will be able to return to full duties as soon as possible.

CHURCH CLEANING

For personal reasons, Elaine Rodgers has had to give up her cleaning job at the church. We thank her for doing a good job over her time here with us. We are looking to reappoint as soon as possible.

PUBLICITY

Due to the Pandemic, there was naturally a dearth of occasions on which to report. Nevertheless, we managed to get 14 articles in “The Easingwold Advertiser”, reporting on Parish and CTED events. Photography was, naturally, somewhat restricted, but a method was found to download, edit and use pictures from the ‘Zoom’ screens in some cases.

I had started delivering ‘Welcome Packs’ to the new developments on Crabmill Lane and Stillington Road, but this came to a standstill as Lockdown struck. This was unfortunate, as quite a few houses have subsequently been occupied. It will probably be rather too late to cover these when restrictions are relaxed. But new buildings are springing up all the time, so there will eventually be the need for more Welcome Packs! In the meantime, our Parish Church brochure needs updating.

I have continued to post brief news items and pictures on the churches’ Facebook page:

MISSION AND EVANGELISM – OUTREACH FROM OUR CHURCHES

DEACONS’ REPORT

Vocational Deacons in parish are, Lottie Cranfield (Assistant Minister) and Chris Peel (retired but busy and active!)

2020 has been a very different year but still a busy year for us. It started as normal but with the addition of the Bishop’s Mission Weekend during mid-March. Lottie was involved with the Deanery Committee organising events in Easingwold Parish to enable our visitors to join with us in outreach. We started on the Friday with some of the team mingling in the Market day crowd and then having a ‘Lent’ soup lunch at the Methodist Church and then in the evening for a Karaoke night at the Angel Inn. Other successful events were held throughout the Deanery.

The Covid-19 Pandemic changed the way we have been able to worship. Not being able to have services in church from March until the first weekend in August. We continue to support Margaret our Vicar on a Sunday with the services which have been on ‘Zoom’ or hybrid, with up to 20 in the congregation and a good number joining on their devises on Zoom.

Sadly, since March, the Family Services held at St Mary’s, Raskelf have not taken place. Home communions when permitted, were taken to the usual people in their homes and Springhill Court.

Visiting is a very important part of our outreach. Instead of the usual visiting, Chris and I have been assisting Margaret with phone calls to all the members on the electoral register, keeping in touch, delivering prescriptions and groceries if needed.

In September I completed my four years of IME and on 22nd November was licensed in a ‘Zoom’ service by the Bishop of Selby as Assistant Minister to Reverend Margaret Young.

Another aspect of the Deacon role here in Easingwold is co-ordinating the Prayer Circle. The Prayer Circle is made up of a group of people who feel that prayer is part of their ministry. Each month, requests received from anyone in the community and the church family, and those requests, are circulated confidentially to this team. If you would like us to pray for you or someone close to you, please make contact with me.

CLERGY

Deacons

Charlotte Cranfield completed her training and remains here in Easingwold as Assistant Minister. Charlotte has worked hard during her training and we are fortunate that she is staying. Chris Peel continues to work hard in her retirement and her work is much appreciated.

Retired clergy

Thanks go to the retired clergy who have covered the necessary holidays that Margaret has had. Robin Davill, John Hetherington and David Senior have continued to be exceedingly supportive in their ministry here and have also taken services from their homes on Zoom. John’s Men’s group has had to be suspended due to Covid, but it is hoped that this will resume in 2021.

Volunteers

We would like to thank everyone who volunteers and works so hard to make the church a lively and vibrant community. They include readers, intercessors, sidesmen, transport, flowers, visiting, teas, etc… the list goes on. So many people do jobs that are not known about by others. Some of these

7

roles have been put on hold during Covid but I have been very grateful to all the readers and intercessors who have joined by Zoom and continued exercising their ministry in this way.

Our Church secretary, Sue Thorn, has decided to stand down after 15 years of service. She has been extremely good in her role as secretary,, and we thank her for all that she has done over this time. We are fortunate that Hazel Henebury has taken over as secretary as of November 2020. Special thanks also go to our treasurer Bill Henebury, supported by Kamal Antoun, for the many hours that they put in on a weekly basis. Bill's life would be made far easier if people could give their offering by standing order. Thank you to our church wardens Juliette Jennings and Alizon Leese who also work many hours day in day out for the church. Juliette stood down at the end of the year, we thank you for all that you have done.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

After careful planning for a series of events throughout the next two years, by Hazel Henebury, Diane Gallon, Lottie Cranfield and Michael Wansborough, Covid restrictions came into play. It is hoped that these events can be put into place over the coming years. Before this came into effect, we had a visit from Bishop of Lancaster’s team as part of Come and See, this was a mission weekend across the deanery.

The church has been open for private prayer during part of the lockdown: hand sanitizer and masks have been available. On Mothering Sunday and All Souls there was the opportunity to light candles during the prayer times.

On Shrove Tuesday, pancakes were available at the Feedroom in Raskelf: thanks to Annie and all at the Feedroom and to everyone who cooked, washed up and supported this event.

As we have been unable to deliver the magazine, it has remained online only. We hope to start with paper copies as soon as we are able. Sue Thorn and Kamal Antoun continue to put the magazine together and we are grateful for all that they have done.

Plans for 2021.

CHURCH WARDENS

Easingwold

It seems a long time ago but last March the alarm was set up on the church roof. It is continually monitored, and I have received a couple of calls when the signal stopped. It was serviced in December and we, the church, must remember to phone the alarm company before any work is done on the church roof.

In late March we went into lockdown, in June the church reopened for personal prayer, the Vicar and I set up the social distancing measures within the church, blocking off pews and whole areas. August the church reopened for limited services but most of the services including many of the Christmas ones took place on Zoom.

In the summer the PCC decided not to reopen the Parish Rooms which need refurbishing, have no car park and are not attracting many bookings. We have been looking into the possibility of selling the building and perhaps extending the church with another useful room.

Also, in summer the flagpole in the churchyard was taken down as it was no longer safe.

Alizon Leese

St Marys Raskelf

What a strange year 2020 turned out to be.

The year started well, and lots had been planned.

The security cameras were fitted to the roof in March. In June we had engineers out twice and a new battery had to be fitted. We were initially charged for this but did recover the money as the battery was still under warranty and should only need changing every two years. The cameras are monitored 24 hours a day by a security company in Lincolnshire.

We managed one fund raising event in 2020, a pancake event held at the Feed Room. This raised £550 for the development pot.

The last service to be held before the first lockdown was a wedding blessing.

We have replaced the electric organ with a secondhand Viscount Vivace 40. Thanks to John Dunford for sorting this out. This is a better quality organ to our previous one. We had been planning various fundraising events to help cover the cost, but these have all had to be put on hold.

Risk assessments per COVID 19 were carried out by myself, and the vicar ready for opening the church for prayer and then services after lockdown was eased. We decided to only have one service a month on the first Sunday of the month at 4pm.

One of the planned weddings did take place in September but the other two have been provisionally deferred to 2021.

A funeral also took place, and I would like to thank Tim Young for setting up Zoom for both these services so they could be shared with more people than is allowed under COVID restrictions.

Portable appliance testing has been carried out. The lightning conductor has been tested. A fire risk assessment has also been carried out.

Restrictions were still in place in December, so we were unable to hold any of the usual Christmas services.

HEALTH AND SAFETY REPORT 2020

The policy document was reviewed, and nothing seems to have changed.

Scheduled maintenance was completed as follows,

Feedback was given at the time of maintenance for fire safety inspection and portable appliance testing.

Currently we are looking at the yearly maintenance of the Church central heating boilers which is due now, and we are in discussions with British Gas.

There have been no accidents reported.

Once again, thanks to all who have helped this year.

Alan Summerscales

MOTHERS’ UNION

In January we all met for our annual Sunday Lunch at "The George". At our AGM in February, we recalled our fundraising event for the Summer Appeal; an Afternoon Tea, and looked forward to repeating that in the coming year. We also arranged to make soup for the Christian Aid Lent Lunch. That was the last time we met because of the pandemic.

Within the Diocese the caravan opened in July and provided holidays for a few families, this was greatly appreciated by them.

2021 marks the 130th anniversary of Mothers' Union in Yorkshire. We hope that we may be able to come together at some time to celebrate.

CHURCHES TOGETHER IN EASINGWOLD AND DISTRICT (CTED) 2020

Reverend Margaret finished her term as Chairman, and we started the new year with Brian Taylor of the Methodist church taking up the reins as the new Chairman.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – January 18th to 25th

The main Sunday service took place at the Parish Church, led by Rev Margaret Young on Sunday 19th January at 3.30pm. Church members from all the churches were encouraged to pray at home on a daily basis as there were no daily lunchtime services.

In March 2020 the Pandemic hit us and stopped us in our tracks.

Lent Course on the theme Tenants of the King and Lent Lunches were stopped after a couple of meetings and the following were cancelled completely.

Palm Sunday and Easter

No joint services were possible.

Annual General Meeting – July

A full AGM was not possible, and the speaker was cancelled. A meeting was held via Zoom. The officers remained in post for another year.

The Pet Service

This service did not take place due to the lockdown.

Priory Garden service (formerly Byland Abbey Service) – September

The Priory Gardens service was planned and able to go ahead and was well attended and the weather was dry and sunny, if a little breezy. (it was also streamed through Zoom). Father James led the service and Father Henry spoke. Kathryn Lynam sang the hymns for us.

Advent and Christmas

An Advent Course called “Watching and waiting” was a community course offered with leadership from each of the churches on 24 Nov, 1 Dec, 8 Dec, 15 Dec. The feedback was very positive.

The Crib Service – sadly due to the second lockdown this service was not possible. Although the Crib figures were put in place on the Marketplace Green.

Margaret put together a quiz, with families invited to walk round the town and find the letters in some shop windows, once all the letters were collected those taking part were then to work out what the slogan was.

DEANERY SYNOD - MAIN ACTIVITIES

Deanery activities were, of course, greatly affected by the Pandemic. We had a ‘normal’ meeting in January, which Bishop John attended. He spoke to us, as preparation for the ‘Come and See’ Mission, about the 5 Marks of Mission – Tell, Teach, Tend, Transform, Treasure – and the 5 types of church – Osmosis, Open Door, Web, Stepping Stones,and Budding. We discussed this further in benefice groups. He encouraged us to take this further in our PCCs during the year.

The ‘Come and See’ Mission went ahead in March, though Social Distancing measures were starting to come into effect, when the Right Reverend Jill Duff, Bishop of Lancaster and her team from the Blackburn Diocese came. They were leading and speaking at a range of events over the weekend, including one of the CTED Lent Lunches, hosted by various churches in the Easingwold district.

Full Lockdown then ensued, curtailing further activities, apart from some outdoor events. However, members of the Deanery clergy, including our own Margaret Young, Lottie Cranfield and Catherine Toase, contributed to a series of on-line ‘Lockdown Reflections’. These can be seen on: - www.easingwolddeanery.org.uk/news/lockdown reflections/ and are well worth reading.

The Synod members got together again in November via Zoom, when we were able to share our experiences of church life during Lockdown. The main part of the meeting was a presentation by Rev’d Jan Nobel, the Diocesan Green Ambassador, entitled “Reaching net zero carbon by 2030”.

This target was set by the Church of England General Synod in February 2020. Jan talked to the Synod about – why we need to reduce emissions; where we need to reduce emissions; and how we will reduce emissions. A short- animated film explained what Climate Change is and what we can do about it. The General Synod has charged each Diocese to develop and implement a plan for all parts of its estate (churches, schools, clergy housing) to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030, reporting on progress every three years.

In the Diocese of York,a Green Steering Group will be established which will prepare an Environmental Policy and Action Plan for adoption by Diocesan Synod. Every Deanery will be asked to appoint a Deanery Green Champion and pilot an Eco-Church. All Parishes will need to complete the Energy Footprint Tool as part of their annual parish returns to enable tracking of progress towards the target. Another busy year for the Synod, despite the restrictions.

7. FREEHOLD PROPERTY

The Parish Church Rooms building was surveyed for insurance purposes in 2005 and the value of the freehold was stated as £175,000. The Parish Rooms have been making a loss for some years and have been closed since March 2020 due to Covid virus restrictions.

The Church Field is now used as a car- park and no freehold land value is currently known.

The above assets are not included in the Balance Sheet or Financial Statements.

8. FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS at 31 DECEMBER 2020

Reinstatement costs for insecure gravestones in Easingwold churchyard have so far amounted to £9,612, paid in 2019; but additional work is needed at an estimated cost of £4,500.

A significant number of leaks have occurred in the roof of Raskelf Church, resulting in temporary repairs and assessment of future implications by our architect. Full replacement of leadwork on the north side of the roof is considered necessary, at an estimated cost of some £30,000.

9. STAFF COSTS

Our only employee in the year 2020 was the Parish Church Rooms part time Caretaker, whose payments were not sufficient to require employer Social Security or State Pension contributions. Her employment was terminated on 31[st] October, since a caretaker was no longer required. Total cost of employment in the year was £1,744 having taken account of government furlough reimbursement.

Organists and cleaners are paid on a self- employed basis.

Payment to PCC members: During the financial year, as one of the parish organists, Mr W J Henebury was paid £160 in respect of Sunday services. No other payments or expenses were paid to any other PCC members, persons closely connected to them or related parties.
