Annual Report 2022

2022 was a challenging year, but then it seems all years recently have been challenging. After two years of pandemic and disruption where the church had to be closed, this year we finally got back to the normal way of worship, or at least as normal as we can be. The year began with the retirement of our vicar, Rev. Canon Wendy Oliver. She had been with us for over a decade. We thank her for her service and dedication to the church over such a long tenure.

Also, by the time of the APCM in April last year, our churchwarden had retired. She had had the unenviable task of seeing the church through the tribulations of the pandemic. Again, we thank her for the service and dedication she put into the job.

As there was no other person wishing to be churchwarden, a member of the congregation volunteered and was sworn in at the emergency vestry meeting on April 24[th] . Up to April 2023, he was still the only warden, (however following the recent APCM, we have had another churchwarden appointed).

The upkeep of the church building continues to give headaches. Despite the work on the tower and spire being complete, there are still issues with water getting into other parts of the church. This will be something the buildings committee will be looking at in the upcoming few months.

Services have continued almost seamlessly since Wendy’s retirement. Our church owes an enormous debt of gratitude to our ministry team, who have worked faithfully and endlessly to keep our worship going whilst we wait for a new vicar to be appointed. The sidespeople and the sound team, the cleaning team and the volunteers who provide us with tea and coffee after the services all deserve a great vote of thanks. As do the gardening (churchyard maintenance) and flower people.

We held 33 baptisms in 2022. We also held 2 weddings and 1 marriage blessing. There were 16 funerals either at the church of the crematorium where our team officiated, and internment of ashes on several occasions.

We will continue to encourage the congregation to grow, especially welcoming new younger families (we have welcomed a number of new worshippers recently). More maintenance work will be needed and more volunteers are encouraged to come forward.

We thank everyone for all their support in 2022 and let’s see where 2023 takes us.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE PCC OF CHRIST’S CHURCH, HARWOOD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2022

This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31[st] December 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 8, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (“the Regulations”) and s.145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”)

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Act), and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of this report

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. 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 trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:

  2. proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and

  3. accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Signed:

John A Curtis BA MBA FHEA
