Parades
Warm Space I warm welcome initiative to provide a simple meal and fellowship on
Wednesday established under the guidance and direction of Rev Glenys Gardner
with a group of volunteers who have been safer recruited.
Parent and Toddler group established and flourishing under the guidance of Val
Blakemore and Joan Rainford with a group of volunteers who have been safer
recruited
Engagement in the as if process of fit for mission under the guidance of the
Change lead Rev Canon David Banbury and the navigation team
Rectors Re
ort
Much has been achieved but there is much to be done if St Thomas is to flourish
and help grow a bigger church that makes a bigger difference. Thank you to
everyone who has helped to bring us to this point, from enabling the organ to be
fixed and the screens installed to the mid-week communion, luncheon club and
parent and toddler group.
Worship
Numbers at Sunday services are steady. The mid week communion under the
lead of Rev Glen Gardner is going well with an average attendance of 12 adults.
Glen has been relicensed ￿rith Permission to Officiate (PTO)

The organ is playing well and we have been able to secure the services of Glenn
Howard and Chris Lennie to play on a fairly regular basis.
The choir makes a significant contribution to worship and have enjoyed supporting
a number of joint services over the year including joining forces with Rainford
choir.
Church parades are going well, and the Scouts and Guides seem to appreciate
the changes which have kept them engaged.
Christian Chatter is still small but appreciated by those who come.
We have developed prayer leaflets for people to use so we can pray around the
village. In addition we have leaflets about ways to explore faith outside Sundays
through apps etc.
The church building is being left open more often but this is still reliant on the
Rector and churchwardens to open and close the building. A shut and locked
church is a barrier to mission.
Graveyard
Thank you for the amazing amount of work that has been done to tidy the
graveyard. It has drawn in people from the community. There is still much to be
done.
Flooding remains a risk. A significant drain that runs towards Southport Road is
blocked - possibly by a grave. Water is not draining as it should. Water was
pumped out of the drains over the summer, but it is clear that the water is unable
to drain freely. Conversations have been had with Sefton Council and the
Leverhulme estate but no solution has been implemented
After issues with the style of headstones in the newer section of the graveyard a
consultation was undertaken at the request of the Archdeacon and the restriction
in place around the use of York stone was lifted at the end of December 2024.
The easing has been applied retrospectively and a number of families have
already repla￿d York stones with granite ones.
Occasional Offices I pastoral care
We have a steady flow of baptisms. There have been fewer funerals but a steady
number of internment of ashes
We have had three weddings this summer which have been well received by the
couples and their families.
Links with St Thomas, School and Haskayne Downholland
St Thomas, school has received an outstanding rating in all areas from Otsted
Haskayne Downholland has retained its good rating for now but needs to
strengthen a number of areas of governance and its curriculum.
Regular assemblies on a Wednesday morning at 9am at St Thomas and Monday
afternoon at 2.45pm at Haskayne
Messy church was tried at St Thomas school in the hall but has been suspended
for now
I continue to be concerned how little the schools connect to the church and how
few pupils come to church and how few members of the congregation visit either
school or volunteer in them

Children and Young people
Confirmation was on Sunday 24 November by Bishop John. It was smaller than
previous years with 15 pupils from St Thomas, and 1 from Downholland Haskayne
school. We still need to develop something for children post confirmation to keep
them engaged with church.
Safeguarding
There are no concerns but we still have a lot to do around paperwork and
ensuring we have evidence that everyone is being kept safe. Safer recruitment is
ongoing. We need job descriptions for all roles
Noticeboards in church are up to date. l am incredibly grateful to Joan Rainford
for all her work enabling safeguarding to progress in the parish.
Fit for mission
Has been challenging. The name of the larger single parish will be the parish of
South West Lancashire. We will need to formally commit to moving forward with
this by the end of May 2025.
Finance, administration and safeguard leads are regularly meeting to share best
practice and identify how to work together. The joint songs of praise and open
invitation to attend services at St John's Burscough reflect an increase in
collaboration. The next steps will be challenging but exciting.
.Mlllenium Centre
It is good to see this used more. We now have a fully plumbed in dishwasher in
the kitchen.
However it is tired and damp, with paint peeling in some places and some of the
window frames are not in a good condition. Sadly it was flooded right at the end
of 2024 and is currently out of action.
Parish Administrator
Stephannie Albertini resigned from her post at the end of November. There will
be a review of the post and tasks before a new post is advertised.
Finances
Remain fragile - we need to seriously engage in generosity week, and
fundraising.
We can make ends meet but only by dipping into reserves and using fundraising
to pay routine bills
If we were able to meet our running costs from the congregation fundraising would
mean we could reach out into the community more. For example we could
provide a coach to bus school children to church for visits etc.
More people need to give realistically via the PGS scheme ideally around
£10 a week or £40 a month
We need to simplify our bank accounts and move to a simpler income and
expenditure way of producing the accounts from 2025

Legacy campaign around leaving money in a will (but only rf we can show it
will be used for mission or fabric repairs and not paying the bills)
It has been a busy year for St Thomas, and a lot has been achieved with the hard
work of so many. l am incredibly grateful to Jean Cropper and Joan Cook for their
support over the year. Also sincere thanks must go to Vera Ainsworth, who
despite considerable personal pressure has maintained our accounts.
l also need to thank everyone who enables us to worship week by week from Glen
and David and until recently Alex leading to all the sidespeople, readers and
intercessors who bring depth and meaning to all we do. Together we are the body
of Christ and when we work together we are greater than the sum of the parts.
Thank you.
Church Buildin
s and Pro
During this year the church had its fi've year Quinquennial Inspection. The report
again outlined once again that there is still the need of remedial work particularly
in the tower where the plaster is crumbling on the walls the south aspect this is
because the stained-glass windows continue to leak during heavy rain. The North
wall is not as bad. All these problems will need to be addressed as soon as funds
are available. The gutters had been cleared but they need to be addressed again
together with a down spout that is leaking. The path around the Church is in need
of repair. Although the report is not good things are better than first thought
Changes have been made in the church and we now have an organ refurbished
and played at services. All this was made possible by generous donations and
fundraising. Screens have been fitted for use at seNices and are proving popular
especially with children at All Age serVi￿S.
A Hand rail has been fitted on the steps leading from the Vestry Door in line with
Health & Safety Instructions.
Millennium Centre
The boiler is in need of replacement but at present all is going well.
Refurbishment of the main hall will be carried out when funds allow. There have
been a few enquires to hire out the hall and this will be very helpful towards the
funds
Churchyard and Graveyard
Volunteers continue to keep the areas clean and tidy; they remove dead and old
floral tributes and weed where necessary also keeping hedges tidy, removing, and
disposing of the rubbish all in their own time making the churchyard and
graveyard a pastoral place of comfort and reflection for those whose loved ones
are laid to rest. The PCC wish to record their very grateful thanks to all those who
work so hard to maintain such a high stsndard...

Car Park
The car park has had some attention and the holes filled in by the contractors
working on the house next to the Vicarage arsd we are very grateful.
Ob"ectives for 2025
Appoint a new part time parish administrative assistant
Continue the process around fit for mission and the establishment of a larger
single parish
Move accounts to income and expenditure using my fund accounting software
Complete the safeguarding dashboard and ensure we are working with the
DI0￿Se around policies and procedures
Have one open weekend around the theme of family to promote the work of the
church
To have a stronger presence on social media and the web
To grow the number of regular worshippers at the main Sunday service to 55
adults each week.

Th
st
24, as set out on
Respertive responsibillties of Trustees and Examiner
The PCC are responsible for the preparatlon of the accounts, They consider that an
audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Att 2011 (the
Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It Is my responsibility to:
examlne the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down In the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
to state whether partlcular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examlner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accountlng records kept
by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. Et also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from the PCC concernlng any such matters. The procedures 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 matters set out In the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.,
l) 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 Charities Act.
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the Charitles 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,

repairs to the Church or the Millennium Centre. Endowment Funds, where the caprtal must be
retained, are explained on page 19 note 13.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in
law.
They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another
body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.

Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received.
