Parochial Church Council of St James Heckmondwike (with Norristhorpe) Registered Charity no. 1152319
Annual Report for 2020
Aims and purposes
St James Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, 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 St James Church.
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed to enabling worship for as many people as possible by developing a wide range of services and worshipping opportunities. Our services put faith into practice through prayer, scripture music and sacrament.
Structure, governance and management
Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. During the year the following people served as members of the PCC:
Incumbent The Reverend Karen Young (Chair) Readers (ex-officio) Brenda Britton Margaret Mitchell Michael Walker (Vice-Chair) Churchwardens (ex-officio) Melvyn Bathgate Geraldine Thompson Deanery Synod Brenda Britton Susan King Co-opted Members Ruth Kyle (Treasurer) Anne Newham (Secretary) Elected Members Term of office expiring 2021 Sandra Halewood (Geraldine Thompson) Term of office expiring 2022 Suzanna Boon Val Ellis (Safeguarding Officer) Caroline Waring (Lay Pastoral Minister) Term of office expiring 2023 Keith Wilson Martin Firth Bob Stocks
Standing Committee
This the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the P.C.C. between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the council. It also
2
meets to discuss other matters to be put before the P.C.C. and prepare the agenda. It consists of the Vicar, churchwardens, P.C.C. Secretary, P.C.C. Treasurer and one elected member of the P.C.C.
Safeguarding
In accordance with the Church Representation Rules 2017, the PCC has recognised its duty of due regard to the House of Bishops safeguarding guidance. The PCC has adopted the House of Bishops ‘Promoting a Safer Church; safeguarding policy statement’. The PCC has drawn up its own policy and procedure statement. All PCC members and those involved in the Pastoral Team have up to date DBS checks. The Safeguarding officer (Val Ellis) reports at each PCC meeting
Achievements and performance
All our activities, from worship to social and charitable activities were impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and the various lockdowns and restrictions.
Worship and prayer
Our principal service on a Sunday continued as before until March 15. From March 23 until mid-July the church was closed for public worship.
The vicar produced service booklets for the congregation to use in their own homes. From May 10, the vicar filmed a weekly service which was available each Sunday on YouTube. These services were much appreciated and attracted up to 100 views and continued after the church opened in July.
A special service online was filmed for Remembrance Sunday (when the country was again in lockdown) and made available to the wider community.
Christmas was celebrated in the face of escalating infection rates. There was a carol service filmed in advance and also a live service for restricted numbers. Midnight Mass was the only service in the benefice and this was filmed and made available on Christmas Day.
St James reopened on 12 July with 2 short Eucharist services each Sunday morning. This was later changed to one service with a larger congregation. Seating was socially distanced and face coverings were worn. A booking system was introduced.
From July, funerals were permitted with restricted numbers of mourners. There were 8 funerals in church (including some before the pandemic). Baptisms were very restricted. There were 2 baptisms during the year.
Fabric
The fabric is in good repair and there were no adverse effects of the prolonged closure.
In September we received the faculty to remove the pipe organ and dispose of some parts to an organ builder. This work commenced in October.
The clock stopped during the church closure and in December the PCC agreed to install an electric winding mechanism so that it could be operated form ground level. A faculty application was submitted.
Pastoral care
Home visiting and communion were suspended. The vicar provided a telephone directory for parish use and many kept in touch with friends. The vicar issued weekly bulletins by email and periodically mailed worship material and news to all.
Mission and social events
3
All activities with children and young people and all social events were suspended.
Financial Activities
The accounts for 2020 record a total deficit of £15.2k due in large part because of lost income form social activities (2019:£12.1k). The PCC is grateful to those who maintained their giving throughout the year.
The PCC has relied heavily on the reserves this year and is expecting that 2021 will be similar. Nevertheless, the parish share of £26.5k was paid in full and the PCC remains committed to paying the full share for the foreseeable future.

The Vicarage 24 Intake Lane Brownhill Batley WF17 OBT 26 April 202 Accounts for St James H8ckmondwike - 2021 I have carried out an independent examination of these accounts. This was undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in Chapter 11 of the PCC Accountability guide published by the Church of England and of the Charities Act 2011. I can confirm that these accounts are accurate, appropriate and set out in accordance with requirements. Please see enclosed sheet for observations and recommendations rlated to this examination.

St James's Heckmondwlke Accounts for 2021 Comments and observations There is an apparent discrepancy of £1 beeen the income figures in General Fund Statement and those in the R&P account. This is unhelpful. The difference is caused by the CBF Fund interest payment of £0.49. This amount is rounded down to £0 on the face of the R&P statement but is sufficient to caused the overall income figure to round up to £37,198. The CBF Fund is not designated as restricted, and it might to more straighfforward to consolidate the interest payment with the rest of the investment income for non-restricted funds. It was awkward to reconcile the "cash in. and "cash out" sheets to the General Fund Statement. This is important as the two cash statements are the only documents that allow audit trailing of individual transactions. The main difficulty was caused by two elements, in which the receipts and payments were netted-off. These were the Organ project and the WeddinglFuneral fees. If net figures are to be used on the fa of the main statements, then they should be identified as such and preferably supported by memorandum control accounts (as recommended last year). If this is not satisfactory, then the gross receipt and payment figures should appear on the face of the statements. Two large cost items had the effect of potentially distorting the R&P accounts for 2021. These are the clock repair and organ replacement costs. If these are non- recurrent items, as I suspect, it may be wise to show them as such so that valid comparisons of recurrent costs and income can be made between years. On a purely management accounting point, the PCC statement would be mo useful if it showed the variances between in actual receipts and payments against the forecasts and the actual figures for the previous.year.
