Debbie Cruxton Tisbury ## St Andrew’s Church, Donhead St Andrew Annual Report Of the Parochial Church Council For the year ended 31[st] December 2022 Rector: Rev Kate McFarlane Bank: Independent Examiner: Lloyds Bank Debbie Cruxton 32, High Street 7, The Mallards SHAFTESBURY Tisbury SP7 8JJ SP3 6SD ## **ST ANDREW ’S CHURCH, DONHEAD ST ANDREW** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022** ## **Administrative Information** St Andrew’s Church is situated in St Bartholomew Street, Donhead St Andrew. It is part of the Benefice of St Bartholomew in the Chalke Deanery of the Diocese of Salisbury within the Church of England. The correspondence address is West End House, Donhead St Andrew, Shaftesbury, SP7 9DY. The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a registered charity with the Charity Commission (Reg. No. 1150714). PCC members who have served during the reporting year are: _Rector:_ The Rev Kate McFarlane Chair _Church Warden:_ Lady Cooper Vice Chair Mr Mark Jeffery _Elected members:_ Mrs Evis Holliman Mr George Lisle Mrs Lynda Appleby Mr Geoffrey Malone Mr Alistair Stoker ( _Hon. Treasurer)_ Mrs Elizabeth Grady _(Hon. Secretary and Electoral Roll Officer)_ ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules, 2006. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. A revised Electoral Roll contains 59 names, compared with 60 in 2021.Objectives and Activities ## **Objectives and Activities** The PCC has responsibility as Trustee of the Parish Church of Donhead St Andrew and its churchyard. It also has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. As St Andrew’s Church is also our village community space we encourage everyone to come to social events and individually to use the building and its library. The church is open every day. There is a growing use of the church space for coffee mornings, pilates, exhibitions, talks, plays and concerts. We offer places of quiet contemplation, prayer and reflection both inside and out - the churchyard now has a beautiful wildflower garden and seating. We continue to welcome everyone to St Andrew’s for one of our services that are held each Sunday morning. These are BCP - Holy Communion at 8.30am on the first Sunday of each month, Sung Matins on the 2nd Sunday at 11am, Sung Holy Eucharist at 11am on the third Sunday and a Family Service at 9.30am on the fourth. There are also special services held throughout the year including Lent and Easter, Advent and Christmas and Harvest time. Also, on the 3rd Friday of each month at 10am we hold a quiet, informal Eucharist service as part of the Benefice Worship. The Benefice also has a Pastoral Care team, coordinated by the Rector, which responds to requests for help. ## **Review of the Year** We are enormously fortunate at St Andrew’s to have people who show such dedication and commitment to our church. Our excellent wardens do a superb job and give most generously of their time. Our PCC members and many others have been actively engaged in planning events, caring for our church and churchyard, creating extraordinarily beautiful floral displays, and offering refreshments and hospitality. As a mark of our desire to have an outward focus, we now offer a Foodbank collection point in church, which is being increasingly well used. Particular highlights this year were the glorious Jubilee lunch and the Fete, which was extremely successful and very much appreciated. On Palm Sunday we were delighted to offer a Stations of the Cross, using the paintings of Clare Copeley-Williams. These remained on display throughout Holy Week. The Community Coffee Morning is growing pleasingly and is a delightful opportunity to meet a wider group of local people. The church has also proved a wonderful venue for both successful art exhibitions and a fascinating play, making excellent use of its versatility. It remains the case that we very much need to spread the responsibilities for our church more widely to avoid people becoming overburdened, but also that we continue to encourage people to see the church as belonging to the whole village, accessible and inviting, where they will find a warm welcome and where the sacred and the social find a common meeting place. Outstanding items from the Development Project are now completed, in all but some very minor matters. The Fabric Working Group has continued to arrange routine maintenance work on the building, which is virtually completely up to date as well. The church architect carried out a quinquennial report this year. Very little was found wrong with the building, apart from a couple of cautions about future stone erosion. A group of villagers have met three times in 2022 and several individuals have helped on an ad hoc basis to create an attractive, contemplative and wildlife friendly churchyard space for the villagers of Donhead St Andrew to use and enjoy. There has been positive feedback from villagers and visitors about the churchyard development. There is now a record in the church and a graveyard plan for visitors to look at. Most burials between 1700 and 1941 can be identified from this plan. The use of the Church for community events increased in 2022. In addition to the regular community coffee mornings, pilates classes and parish council meetings, the church hosted a an exhibition by local artists, a performance of the play ‘The Letter of Last Resort’, meetings of the Ecclesiastical Architects and Chartered Surveyors and the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust. Of particular significance was a visit by Bishop Elijah of Cueibet in South Sudan. A major activity in the year was the annual Fete on August Bank Holiday Monday. Over 300 villagers contributed to putting on the Fete and over 1,750 people attended. £8,500 was donated to local and county charities. ## **Health, Safety and Safeguarding** During 2022, we reviewed the Safeguarding Policy for the Parish and Benefice. All necessary DBS checks have been carried out and some members of the PCC have completed the necessary safeguarding training. All necessary contact details are displayed at the church and are available on the Benefice website. Our policy and practice pay due regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance in relation to safeguarding. ## **Financial review for the year ending 31 December 2022** The accounts for the year to 31 December 2022 have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis. ## Unrestricted General Fund Income.
