## **Objectives and Activities**
Halewood Church Council is the overall decision-making body for the Parish. Halewood Church Council is an ecumenical body – Anglican and Methodist – which acts as the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and Methodist Church Council. The members of Halewood Church Council are the Trustees of the Halewood Local Ecumenical Partnership and operate under a constitution, based on a model document produced by Churches Together in England, adopted on 23 April 2012 and amended on 29 April 2017.
On 12 April 2013, the Halewood Local Ecumenical Partnership was granted registered charity status by the Charity Commission (Registered Charity Number 1151632).
When planning our activities for the year, the Halewood Church Council gives consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance to charities concerned with the advancement of religion.
4
The purpose of Halewood Local Ecumenical Partnership, as set out in clause 2 of the constitution, is to advance the Christian faith in the Area of Benefit in accordance with the principles and practices of the participating churches.
The two churches, St Mary’s and St Nicholas’, are part of the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool and the Liverpool District of the Methodist Church; and the Anglican Deanery and Methodist Circuit which cover the South of Liverpool. (St Mary's church was, from the beginning, a shared Anglican/Methodist building. St Nicholas’ remains an Anglican building.) Worship and Ministry in both churches reflect both Anglican and Methodist traditions.
In achieving its purpose, as stated in its constitution, Halewood Church Council engages in a range of activities, either on its own or with others, including (but not restricted to):
- a) the celebration of public worship;
- b) the teaching of the Christian faith;
- c) mission and evangelism;
- d) pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved
- e) the provision of facilities with a Christian ethos for the local community, including (but not restricted to) the elderly, the young and other groups with special needs; and
- f) the support of other charities in the UK and overseas.
## **Activities for 2022**
From early 2022 both our churches were once again fully open with few, if any, restrictions on numbers. In 2021, whilst numbers were restricted, we had introduced a 6.30 Sunday evening service at St Nicholas.’ This had proved popular with church members who preferred a quieter, more reflective service and also with those who were unable to attend morning worship because of family commitments. We therefore decided to continue with this service and numbers attending have continued to grow steadily
Our Annual Parochial Church Meeting was held on in St Nicholas’ Church on Sunday 24 April 2022 The electoral roll number reported at the 2022 Annual Meeting stood at 214 (St Nicholas’ 159; St Mary’s 55).
During the year ministers conducted 14 funerals at St Nicholas’ of which 2 were also burials in the churchyard. In addition, there was one burial with a graveside service. There were also 7 services of interment of ashes. There were no funerals at St Mary’s church. Ministers took 8 services at the local crematoria. 6 weddings took place at St Nicholas'; there were no weddings at St Mary's.
Baptism services were held at both churches throughout the year with 40 baptisms at St Nicholas and 7 at St Mary’s.
In November we held a confirmation service at St Nicholas’ at which 9 young people and 3 adults from our two churches were confirmed. We also welcomed confirmees from Trinity Page Moss and St Bartholomew’s Roby who joined us for this service
Our children’s and youth groups continued to meet throughout the year led by Mike Sutcliffe.
5
At both St Nicholas’ and St Mary’s Creche and Junior Church groups started up again and numbers of young children attending grew throughout the year.
For the first time since 2019 our Halewood and Friends’ pilgrimage took place at the end of August, with a group of 30 people visiting churches and Cathedrals around Hertfordshire
As things gradually returned to normal various services were reinstated in 2022 including our Good Friday and Easter services. We held our usual annual Remembrance services in both churches and a commemoration service in St Nicholas.’ Special Christmas Services returned to the usual pre pandemic pattern with Carols at Tarbock Village Hall, a parish Carol Service at St Nicholas,’ a children’s nativity play at St Mary’s and a Crib service at St Nicholas’
The Halewood Foodbank continued at St Mary’s, opening each Saturday morning from 10.30-12.00. Sadly we have seen an increase in the numbers seeking help from this service
St Mary’s also hosted a plant swap/giveaway in June which proved very popular and during the summer months a group of volunteers met regularly each Saturday morning to carry out some urgently needed restoration work on the memorial garden next to the car park.
Our churches applied for and received grant funding from Knowsley Borough Council and, worked with local schools to identify families in need of some additional help. A small team of volunteers packed and delivered food parcels to the schools twice a term, throughout the year. This support has been much appreciated by the schools and the families involved.
At the end of 2022 we also opened the St Nicholas’ Centre as a Warm Hub every Thursday morning, providing hot drinks, toast and a warm environment for local residents to help save on the rising costs of fuel bills.
Also on Saturday mornings during July and August, the Halewood Uniwise project which recycles good quality items of uniform from all our local schools operated from the St Nicholas’ Centre. Again, grant funding from Redrow, ASDA and Halewood Town Council enabled us to help more families for whom the cost of uniforms was a real burden
At St Mary’s Shining Lights continued to offer Stay and Play sessions three times a week, whilst still awaiting full Ofsted inspection and approval to open as a nursery provision on the premises.
During 2022 our live streaming system became fully operational and we were able to stream Sunday services and also services held by Halewood C of E School so that those unable to attend could either stream live or watch later.
Wherever possible we have continued with our charitable giving.
Charities which we support/give donations to include:
FairTrade with people still being able to place orders for items even though the regular stalls were not able to run
Plan International (St Nicholas’)
6
## Junior Mission for All (JMA- St Mary’s) Christian Aid
We have also responded to a number of local appeals for families who have found themselves in difficulties.
Our Christmas appeal this year supported the Phoenix project for the Homeless.
In 2022 Knowsley Council was Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture and our churches were involved in this is various ways including playing host to a large pussycat sculpture outside St Nicholas’ as part of the Owl and Pussycat trail across the Borough. Our volunteer knitters also knitted scenes from the poem which were displayed on post boxes around Halewood. This was in addition to an earlier post box trail of scenes from the Easter story, which proved very popular
## **Financial review**
Over recent years our regular giving across the parish has failed to keep pace with our expenditure. Maintaining regular giving has been a particular challenge during this year partly because some people’s personal financial positions have been affected by the pandemic which has in turn affected their ability to maintain their previous level of giving.
Thanks to fundraising and one-off donations, as well as careful monitoring and management of our scarce financial resources, we have just about managed to cover our costs but we have also had to eat into our reserves which are now seriously depleted and this is something we need to address at the earliest opportunity.
We are continuing to promote the Parish Giving Scheme which is showing positive results and streamlines the reclaim of Gift Aid.
We have l been able to carry out a number of fundraising activities that have contributed significantly to our parish funds. These included online card making workshops, and a concert by the Liverpool Male Voice Choir.
## **Team Changes**
In November 2021 our Rector Martyn Woodsford announced that he would be leaving to take up a new post back in Adelaide, from where he had joined us just three years previously. As a result of this we once again entered a period of vacancy from January 2022. This has led to a lot of extra work for Team members and other members of our churches but despite the challenges we have been able to continue to maintain our regular pattern of services by calling on help from retired clergy and other clergy within the Deanery and we are very grateful for all the support they have given us during this time Andrew Parsons, our Youth Worker left us in April 2022
Natasia Bullock, our children’s worker made the decision not to return after her period of maternity leave Michael Sutcliffe who had been covering Natasia’s maternity leave then took on both children’s and youth roles with a revised role description
.
## **Plans for the future**
Our plans for the immediate future centre around successfully recruiting a new minister based in Halewood to work with us in the Halewood- Hunts Cross Team. We are aware that this will not be a ‘like for like’ appointment and that the Diocese and Deanery have proposed changes to the structure and make-up of the team which fit in with ‘Fit for Mission’ agenda currently being pursued by the Diocese
7
We will also continue to look at our financial position and explore ways of ensuring that our finances are robust enough to enable us to move forwards.
We plan to continue to develop our work with children and young people, particularly older teens. We are working to involve more of the younger adults (20-40+) in our congregations, encouraging them to take on leadership roles both in worship and support roles, particularly at St Mary’s.

## **HALEWOOD CHURCH COUNCIL ST NICHOLAS & ST MARY'S CHURCHES, HALEWOOD INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT Report and Financial Statements 2022**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 15.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner**
As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
- (1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.

# **HALEWOOD CHURCH COUNCIL ST NICHOLAS & ST MARY'S CHURCHES, HALEWOOD Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2022**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
## **Funds**
General funds represent the funds of Halewood Church Council (HCC) that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the HCC.
The accounts include transactions, assets and liabilities for which the HCC is held responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe an affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
## **Incoming Resources**
## _**Voluntary income and capital sources**_
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the HCC.
Planned givings receivable under covenant are recognised only when received.
Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies to the HCC are accounted for as soon as the HCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the likely amount due.
Funds raised by the fetes and similar events are accounted for gross.
Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross.
## _**Income from investment**_
Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
## _Income from property rentals_
Rental income is recognised when the rent is due.
7
## **HALEWOOD CHURCH COUNCIL ST NICHOLAS & ST MARY'S CHURCHES, HALEWOOD Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2022**
## _**Gains and losses on investments**_
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.
## **Fixed Assets**
## _**Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings**_
Consecrated land and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the HCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable 'church furnishings, relating to maintenance is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
During 2007 extensive works were carried out on phase one of the development to the inside of St Nicholas Church. It was agreed by HCC that the costs of the works would be capitalised and depreciated over a fifteen year period. This will also coincide with finance taken out in 2008 which will help to complete phase two of the reordering of the church
## _**Land & Buildings- St Nicholas Centre**_
Land and buildings are valued at historic cost. It is the HCC's practice to maintain the Centre in a continual state of sound repair. Accordingly, the HCC considers that the economic life of the Centre and its residual value are such that any depreciation is insignificant and is thus not provided.
## _**Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment**_
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
## _**Investments**_
Investments are valued at market value at 31 December. The valuation has been undertaken by the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England.
## _**Current Assets**_
Amounts owing to the HCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rent or other income are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

## **13 COVID-19 impact**
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemnic, and its effect on the macroeconomic landscape, the Trustees continue to monitor the impact on the LEP's resources and available funds, particularly in light of Churches being closed and the consequent impact on loose plate giving. The Trustees are taking actions to ensure the financial postion of the LEP can be maintained, including, but not limited to, the deferrment of certain items of expenditure, and encouraging use of the Parish Giving Scheme to maintain regular giving.

## **HALEWOOD CHURCH COUNCIL ST NICHOLAS & ST MARY'S CHURCHES, HALEWOOD INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT Report and Financial Statements 2022**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 15.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner**
As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
- (1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.

# **HALEWOOD CHURCH COUNCIL ST NICHOLAS & ST MARY'S CHURCHES, HALEWOOD Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2022**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
## **Funds**
General funds represent the funds of Halewood Church Council (HCC) that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the HCC.
The accounts include transactions, assets and liabilities for which the HCC is held responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of Church groups that owe an affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
## **Incoming Resources**
## _**Voluntary income and capital sources**_
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the HCC.
Planned givings receivable under covenant are recognised only when received.
Income tax recoverable on covenants or gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies to the HCC are accounted for as soon as the HCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the likely amount due.
Funds raised by the fetes and similar events are accounted for gross.
Sales of books and magazines from the church bookstall are accounted for gross.
## _**Income from investment**_
Dividends and interest are accounted for when receivable. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
## _Income from property rentals_
Rental income is recognised when the rent is due.

## **HALEWOOD CHURCH COUNCIL ST NICHOLAS & ST MARY'S CHURCHES, HALEWOOD Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31st December 2022**
## _**Gains and losses on investments**_
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.
## **Fixed Assets**
## _**Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings**_
Consecrated land and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 10 of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the HCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable 'church furnishings, relating to maintenance is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
During 2007 extensive works were carried out on phase one of the development to the inside of St Nicholas Church. It was agreed by HCC that the costs of the works would be capitalised and depreciated over a fifteen year period. This will also coincide with finance taken out in 2008 which will help to complete phase two of the reordering of the church
## _**Land & Buildings- St Nicholas Centre**_
Land and buildings are valued at historic cost. It is the HCC's practice to maintain the Centre in a continual state of sound repair. Accordingly, the HCC considers that the economic life of the Centre and its residual value are such that any depreciation is insignificant and is thus not provided.
## _**Other fixtures, fittings and office equipment**_
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
## _**Investments**_
Investments are valued at market value at 31 December. The valuation has been undertaken by the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England.
## _**Current Assets**_
Amounts owing to the HCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rent or other income are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.

## **13 COVID-19 impact**
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemnic, and its effect on the macroeconomic landscape, the Trustees continue to monitor the impact on the LEP's resources and available funds, particularly in light of Churches being closed and the consequent impact on loose plate giving. The Trustees are taking actions to ensure the financial postion of the LEP can be maintained, including, but not limited to, the deferrment of certain items of expenditure, and encouraging use of the Parish Giving Scheme to maintain regular giving.
