The PCC OFerates through a series of sub-committees {listed above) each of which report back to full PCC meetsngs. In add.tbon to the finance arKI general business of the PCC, the following topKs have been discussed: 12

1. The Safeguarding P￿¢￿eS were kept up to date and the 'A Safer Church. Pol was reviewed and adopted. and a notice is now on display in both Church and the Communty Centre. which indudes all the relevant contsct details for anyone who may need them. BTshop Jonathan is nuw the L&d Bishop for the National Safeguarding Tearn.
2. From the stsrt of the Coronavirus Pandemic earfy tn the year a lot of the PCC disujssions were to do with this and the impact tt was having on church. Discussions induded what to do about worship and hcvi to communieate and keep in touch with bolh members of the congregation who were sh￿dIng and aiso with the wider community.
3. We fOll￿d the Govemment Advice and the Churth of England Guiddines at all times when making decisions ab)ul both Church and the Communty Centre.
4. We began holding our Sunday serV￿S via zcKJfft but as and when the guidelines allowed we held servtces in Church wrth all the relevant assessments camed out first. also opened thurch for Private Prayer for 1 hour on a Sunday aftemi)on when we could. & In October V￿ held an extra PCC meeting to disujss St Philip's Church W￿lon- this was facditated by Rev'd Ruth and was very productNe with lots of ideas suggested. wh￿h are being worked through.

5. Our APCM was held via zoom in November, again folltywing the Church of England guideFines. F￿ancIal rnview Totsl re￿ipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £29,866 and are detailed in the financial ststsments. In addition receipts on restricted Communty Centre funds were £41,919 £30,245 was spent to provide the Chrisiyan ministy from St Philip's Church. induding 50% of our contrtbutTron to the DiKesan Parish Share (DPS). which largely provides the stipends and housing for the dergy. The sum that churches in the Di￿e have to find is shared according to a forniula that tskes account of the Size of wngregations and income received by PCCS. £17,783 was expended on running the Communty Cerrtre. The net result for the year was a de￿t of payments over receipts of £23.759. A more detsiled review of the PCC'S finances is contained in the Treasurerfs report. Reserves Pollcy The balance of £11,W in the designated Fabric Fund, inctusive of the Unit shareholding valuation. is held to help fund impn)vementslrepairs to the Church's fabr￿ which may be necessary from time to time in the future. The balance of £35.598 in the Communty Centre Fund ￿aleS to the 'sinking fund, which is being held to fund future major repairs to the Community Centre. The PCC has agreed that 10% of annual Community Centre In￿Me will be placed into this fufjd in future years. This amount was also inflated in 2020. due to the unused portion of a £25.000 grant from Kirklees to help us deal with the impacts of COVI[ 13

6. It 15 expected that much of this amount ￿14 be expended in 2021. £147 of the overall amount is specifTrcally for use in maintainirKJ the Communty Defibrillator. The balance of £2,051 in the Bart(M Bequest Fund is hdd to help fund both the maintenance of the Church graveyardlgrounds and the 4uipment required for any such maintenance. 2020 REPORTS Treasu￿3 report Chris Jones As with all aspects of our lives. tth individual and in lrfe of the Church. the Coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact upon the finances OT the church. From a 'tethntcal- point of view. the acLa)unts show a suwus of rec￿pts over payments of £23.759. However this is misleading ffom a number of angles as15hall explain. Looking at the General fund (which exdudes anything to do with the Communty Centre) the year ended 31 Sf December 2020 saw a deficit of payrnents over receipts of £1,968. H()wever. this mask a signfftant reducaion in the amount we were able to send to the Diocese as our Parish Share. whdi rgjuced from £23,500 in 2019 to £16,250 in 2020 {against a share request of £32,262). Pleasingly voluntary receipts (in effect F4anned gtving. cyjllections. donations along wtth associated Grfi Ajd) only reduced by £1.100. The level of planned gsving only reduced slighyy with many donors moving from envelopes to Standing Order. to ts)ver them not being in church - whilst other5 have been sending cheques and cash on a wular basis. This has really been most appreoated. Aso worthy of great thanksgiving has b&n the level of one-off donations that have been made, both adhoc and in response to the Christmas appeal. Vvhere the pandemic has redly htt has been in the area of fundraising. where the restrictions around meeting in person have had a significant impacL This has made the efforts in carying out the online Chrsstma5 Raffle all the more impressive. It will be g￿at when we can all meet together again: txjth in fellowship and also to help raise some funds. Prior to lcxkdown htiting, we were able to hcAd the pantomime run by the Clilfrtes whtch led to £2,000 ￿Ing donated. again bwng split be￿een the church and the comrnunty centre. The amount of hard work being pul in by Steph Potts and the whole Cliffites team in creating such a ptDfessional production cannot be underests"mated, As previously ststed we were unable to meet our Parish Share commttrnents in full. and our payrnerrt £16,250 was only just over haf of our assessed amount The parish share is the most importarrt payment the PCC makes. being our commrtment to the WKler 14

church and without this the diocese would not be able to support its parishes through the provision of Parish Priests and other resources. Costs incuffed in running the church were reduced from £42,305 to £30.118, (£7,250 of this reducti{￿ was in the shape of reduc&J Parish Share payments and a further £2.000 was due to costs related to the 2019 Amanda Owen evenings not teing repeated). Along wlth parish share payments the main expenditure related to utilrti'es and insurance for the church. The PCC supported mission through a number of grants, the main beneficiaries being The Huddersfield Mission. Project EcJJador, Children's, Society. along with others detaiW in the accour7ts. As in previous years a number of other cdlections SFecffic211y for other causes were facilitated through the PCC. The financial position of the Community Centre has been signif&qntly distorted by receipt rA a Corona Virus support grant of £25,000. Whilst this has ￿MOVed Pressu￿ relating to reduced abilty to generate letting income. and ojvered additional COVID rdated costs, it has also led to a signffKant surplus in 2020, albeit wrth expectaton that a defth w￿1 be incurred in 2021. As such. Ihe Communty Cerrtre showed a surplus of just over £24,000 for the year. Excluding the irnpact of the grar.t. income would have been £13.500 lTrwer than in 2019 at £15.395. However Ihe absence of major works (in 2019 the floor Yrds refurbished boiler repairs were required and remedi￿ elect￿al wo￿$ were carried out) and reduced expenditure during the lockdown period {e.g. gas. dectnclty and deaning) saw expenditure redu￿ by £17.500 to £17,783. ilst income will remain lower than previousty seen, (￿S in 2021 are exKEcted to increase largdy as a result of enhanced COVID deaning requirements, and as such a def￿ is expected. albert one that the Grant re¢ewed in 2020 will be abEe to cover. Reserves are held kni order to a$$￿t the PCC in meeting unexpected costs. It ￿marn$ a 0)n￿M that our General Reserve Fund only has a nominal amount within it However gNen the ujrrent inability to make parish share payments in full, rt would not be appropriate to start building this up at the current time. The Fabric Fund now stands at £11,657. which should allow us to meet the ttjsts arising from the weather rdated damage this winter, whilst the Communty Centre sinking fund stands at £35.598 (induding £20,000 from the Corona-virus support grant). Lch)king fotward, 2021 is likely to be a challenging year financially as we ernerge from the impact of COVID 19 with the consequential impact on our ability to generate the funds to cover all of our costs. In addition there remains the continuing disparity be*￿een our income arKI the level of our Parish Share assessmen( whKh nrm stands at £32.262. As the church is funded by its member5 (we have no other form of financial supp￿} it is important that we resFond appTopnately. If we want to be a griming and foTward-looking church, we have to remember thal we have to pay for it Whilst our primary f¢xus should be on looking to see we can grow membership and faith, I would encourage everyone to constder the Eevel of financial support that they can provide. I should like to finish by thanking all those who have made my job as Treasurer easier over the ￿$t year. In particular. the tw of counters for their help every Sunday morning, 15
