The mission focus of the church of the Epiphany is captU￿d in the Vision for Mission Statement and in the IAission Acllon Plan We aspire to be a wolcoming, inclusive and open ¢hurch that is focused on following in the Way of Josus and, through the p0￿r of the Holy Spirit supporting God's mission in Gipton through being a Worshipping Community, a Learning Community and a Serving Community. Vicarfs Report 2021 has been a year of highs and lows. Early January saw Covid regulations increasing and the PCC took the decision to susperKt public worship again. Worship continued on Zoom and Hoty Communion ￿Surned in the hall on Easter Sunday. Rev Debbie Nouwen our curate, developed Long Covid. She continued to play an active part in the life of Ihe church via Zoom but found services in person tiring. From mid October, Debbie was on sick leave and re￿iVed a temiinal cancer diagnosis. As I write (February 22) we are preparing for her funeral. She gave much to t￿ life of the church in her Iwo years with us. We re￿iVed notificaiion of a Suc￿sful bid to Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund which meant the ￿lling works and a major part of decorating the Church could be done. We were grateful to the Leeds Church Extension Society for giving us a grant towards the work. The scaffolders arrived on 19th March and the edifice they constructed to ensure the work was undertaken safely had to be seen to be believed! We were not able to retum to church until June 2Ph. Public worship continued on Zoom and in the hall. The newly refurbished building hosted the Archdeacon's Visitation on Friday 16th Juty and the exhibition "House of Questions.. This vras a project fund￿ by the Leeds Church Institute involving an installation by visual artist Phill Hopkins and workshops led by communrty theokgian, Dr Charlotte Naylor Davis. We also welcomed a visit of the National Church Buildings Commtttee to begin to explore the options for the future in temis of the ongoing Maintenan￿ of the building. Partnership work with Zest, Space 2, East Leeds Project and the Okl Fire Statj'on continue to be fruitful. spa￿ 2. Zest men's group and the Civic Trust came tLYJether to provide a bench in our communty garden. We hope this will provide a pla￿ to stop and refie(A on life as further work on the garden is undertaken. Sadly. the end of December saw the dosure of Gipton Nkthodist Church. this brings to an end our longstsnding Covenant with Gipton Methodist Church. It continues to be a privilege to serve as the incumbent of this parish in hard times as well as good times. I'd like to thank all who tske responsTbilty for ensuring the life of the church continues and pray that our v￿[ShiP and witness will conlinue. Worshlp at Epiphany For the first part of the year, SurKlay worship was held via zoom with a short Servi￿ of Holy Communion being offered in the hall later on a Sunday moming. Returning to church for Sunday worship has been a slow joumey with some people now housebound and others fearful of the covid risk. We met outstde to siw some hymns on Pentecost Sunday and whilst the Community Carol service did not tske pla￿. we held an infomial carol Servi￿ under the tree in church which was well attended. We continued our focus on environmental issues by marking Creation ￿asOn in the vrfeeks leading up to Harvest. The unFfomed organisations returned to church for Rernembran￿ SurKday it was really goc*J to welcome them back. It has been a bl&ssing to have the Reverend Bridget Hawkins being part of the team leading worship both on Zoom and in person. Baptisms and weddings have resumed as Covid restrictions have lifted. Learning at Epiphany We have continued to offer monthly Bible and Us sessions taking advantsge of zo￿￿ to meet online. Our curate Debbie led us in Lent groups as we prepar&J a play for Palm Sunday looking at the events of the Hoty Week through the eyes of different objects. She also those Job as our reading for the Autumn- Job's wrfe proved to be a fun session! November and D￿mber saw confirmation classes for our young people. Service at Epiphany We continue to work with the Twssell Tntst to offer Foodbank on Tuesday momings. Numbers have increased over the year. Refe￿al$ are now done online with people still coming to collect the bags in person. We have had soff￿ new volunteers from Oakwood church. our partner in the benefice. Many thanks to all volunteers who pack the bags and respond to the clients who visit us. We reckon we are feeding about 40-50 people each week through this referral system. Sadly. Ihe PCC made the dectsion to close Mustardseed Café. Following Covid19 many members were no longer able to come either as customers or volunteers. We are hoping that something new will emerge. We participated in the Bags of Joy initiative from the Gipton Ne￿hbOUrhood Improvement Partnership. This offered bags of craft activities to chIld￿n in Gipton at Christmas. The hall is opening up again as diffe￿nt community groups use our facilities. This is good for our local communty as Guiding and Scouting, Zest men's group, a craft group and actNities run by Spa￿2 take pla￿ in an easily aC￿SsIble venue. It also provides an incixne stream for the maintenance of the Church and hall. PCC report The Church Council met six tinEs. The first nEeting in January was an emergency meets'ng to respond to new government regulations. For the first part of the year meetings wete held on Z¢)om. In person meetings resumed in June. Covid safety. finan￿ and safeguardirKJ fomied regular parts of our meeting. We also responded to the East Leeds Review as requested by the Archdeacon We said farewell to two PCC members Wendy Smith and Janet Thorpe. Deanery Synod Wendy Smith was elected to Deanery Synod at the APCM but left the area later in the year. Thanks to Wendy for her Servi￿ both to Deanery Synod and to the PCC over the years. Anna Thomas was elected to Deanery Synod in November. The deanery continued to hold meetings and participate in the Joint Deanery Synods for all Leeds deaneries. The Deanery Servi￿ in June was held at All Souls Blad(man Lane with a focus on environmental issues. The November meeting took place in person aThJ was entitled "From Lament to Hope and Promtse. as we reflected on experiences over the last two y&2rs. Heather Goodison and Anna Thomas Safeguarding The safeguarding policy was updated acwding to dio(wan policy. We have started to wort( with the Diocesan safeguarding dashboard. There were no reported safeguarding incidents in the past year. Jill Cavasi Property Committee Report CHURCH Major repairs were carried out on the Church ceiling which involved removing and replacing the ceiling panels above the nave of the Church. The fixings had become cA)rroded resulting in part of the ￿tling collapsing as delailed in last yearfs reporL Following this work the main walls and some pillars were repainted taking advantsge of the s(3ffolding in pla￿ and furKls available. It was not possible though to redecorate throughout. The carpets in the nave vRre also repEa￿d at the contracto¢s cost after beirvJ damaged by scaffolding. hen clearing out the nave prior to the scafft)Iding being erected some evidence of woodwomi was noted in several chairs with these being removed. The rest were Cl￿ed and will be monitored and treated rf requir￿. The intemal doors leading into the Church and hall passageway were removed to improve and make the entran￿ more welC￿nIng. Try a￿ stored in the boiler room awaiti'ng a final decision from the DAC. Vegetation breaking through the path near the Vestry door was checked and found not to be invasive as feared and was treated accordingly. All the external doors although secure are in relativety poor condition and need attention when funds are available. HALL Following the annual Servi￿ tsvo of the gas heaters in the hall were condemned and had to be replaced. Thanks to Leeds City Council for a grant towards the cost. Several light fittings were replaced in the hall entrance and toilets. The water heater needed replacing. There were several instances of vandalism in the Hall Garden resulting in the gates having to be made more secure. As previously noted. intemal kitchen door and back fire escape door need replacing when funds are availabte. Richard Naylor Property Committee Brownie Report for Annual Report Brownies were able to retum to fatsttrfa￿ TT￿ting$ in April 2021. Whilst the leaders were enthusiastic the challenges of new and complex risk assessments, cleaning regimes and k￿pIng the Brownies socially distanced (xeated a number of ObSta￿S that had to be overcome. Our first meeting had just eight girls, our numbers have steadily grown Sin￿ that first meeting and despite four girls progressing to Guides we now have thirteen young members. We are currently the only Brownie unit remaining in what was the Osmondthorpe district. the units that met at St Cyprians and St Philips have not re-opened. Our assistant leader Evelyn moved back to the Isle of Man during the summer so we only have two aduft leaders, which is not ideal. We are working with our DNision Commissioner to ty and find new leaders. We spent many of our [r￿tingS in the garden at the back of the hall to redu￿ Covid risks and continued to adapt our programme to ensure the safety of everyone. Trips and holidays had to take a back seat in 2021 but we have booked to take the girls wway for the weekend in 2022. Finan￿ continues to be a challenge, we have received a grant through the collaboration of Girlquiding and Children in Need which will partty offset our annual membership fees to Girlguiding UK of £31.50 per BTownEILeader. We send our thanks to the PCC for continuing to support our work in Gipton through subsidi*l hall rents. Brownie Leaders 13 Epiphany Scout group Over the last 18 months the Epiphany Scout group as met some difficult challenges and has also made some changes. Some to meet the challenges and difficulties of the pandemic and some to help local groups hvho were not able to meet these challenges. In January 2020 our ￿nsuS was the best we had had in 20yrs of 40 young people and 13 adults we retained these adults and 36 young people through out that year and into April 2021 when we were able to retum to face-t1>fa￿ scouting with some restrictions and I canl thank the leaders or our young members for adhering and rnaking our return the success it was. Jan 2022 ￿nsuS saw our numbers decline as our young members and their families felt the difficulties of the last 18 - 24 months and some found during the pandemic bringing our numbers to a low of 26 young people. In March 2021 we helped Seacroft St James Scoul group put on some online meetings and they joined us at Epiphany as there was some issues wtth their own venue. This led to them merging with us in May of that year and we became the 13th Epiphany Scout Group. sin￿ retuming in September our District was the fitst to hold a district camp with our group joining 330 other young members from all around our district. We also are in the mKldle of planning our Group Gamp and have signed up to our secoTKI district camp in Juty Adventure 22. All our sections have been working hard and am happy to say that we are slowly regrowing numbers with Beavers and Scouts being our strongest sections at the minute. We also have in group now 4 Young leaders which have been amazing. Over the last 12 months my focus has been on stsbilising the gro￿ and looking for avenues of growth and so I have to say l am amazed that all the section leaders have worked incredibty hard on helping all the YP ready to move up achieve their Chief Scouts Awards ffop Sectional Awards) so we had 7 Beavers achieve BronTr, 6 Cubs achieve SilveT aTKI 3 Scouts Achieve Gold. Over the next 12 months as a group. we will be looking at getting out and about in the community and find projects the group could help out with and also looking at opening 2 new seclions Squirrels (4-6yrs) and Explorers (14 - 18yrs) this would allow us to bring scouting and our values to a wbder range of Young People in the area. To end this report, I would like to mention how appreciative we a￿ that the church as supported the group by keeping the rent down so we don't have to pass on the extra to the parents arKI a special mention for our own leader Mole (Linda Shepherd) for donating her time each week for the last 30+ years and always having a smile on her face. Matthew Jackson Group Scout Leader 13th Epiphany Scout Group From the Treasuror 2021 was my first year as Treasurer for Epiphany Church and l frst of all have to thank the team that help ensure the financial arrangements Tun smoothly. Above all l am indebted to Jill who has been so generous with her time and shown unfailing patience in tutoring me. Jill Cavasi, Jan Ali and Kathryn Fitzsimons rn￿t with me as a Finan￿ team, Mandy Ruddiman who c(Fordinates the bookings for the Church Hall. Kathryn who administrates for the Chaiity Commission. The PCC members who ensure that l am accountsble. I do very much appreciate your work. Thank you foT sharing the load! Jill in her report last year said how 2020 had been particularty challenging with regard to the impact of the pandemic on the Church's finances. The challenges continued into 2021 Mfften the church was closed in the earfy part of the year due to lockdown in pandemic arKI for a signfficant time between 24th March and 21st June whilst major repairs were carried out to the Nave ceiling. Flnancial Reports 1. The Ststsment of Assets and Liabilities Report This Report shows: a) the four places WTr￿re the Church's money is stored; the Bank Current Account (Virgin Money); the savings account (CCLA- CBF deposit account)". cash-in-hand cash-in-hand for Mustard Seed. Cash-in-hand is the mow kept back in OTder to create floats for events like a Christmas Fair. The deposit account was depleted in 2021 as monies were used to fund the Nave ceiling repairs with the balan￿ been funded by grants of £25.000 from the Historic England Covid19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund arKI £6,000 from the Leeds Church Extension Society. b) Liabilities. These a￿ money hekl by or collected by churth, that belongs to other people (effectively the church acts as Agents for them). In 2021 all of the money in this account belongs to Gipton Churches Together. It was increased to £424.21 by a £40 donation for a Dog Show to be held at the Giplon Gala. The Gala sadly was cancelled but the donor agreed to the money being retsined when hopefully the event would be held in 2022. Occasionally there are collections for specific purposes such as Christian Aid Week, or a collection for the Children's Society. This money wi51 go through the Agency collections account and appear as a liabilty on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. c) a breakdown of the money hekl by the church. This year you can see that there was £22.512.24 unrestricted funding (money that can be used for the day-t(kday work). at the end of the financial year. 2. The Receipts and Payments account provides: a) a breakdown of the money that received aThJ paKI out in 2021. It shows that £66,053.70 was received and £80,642.39 spent this this year (compared to £38,641.54 and £34.987.62 respectivety last year. The difference is accounted for by expenditure on the Nave ceiling repairs. b) the transfer of fund between accounts. This year £3,300 was transferred fr(xn the unrestricted funds to the Designated funds for ChurchlHall maintenance costs. Anawis of the Receipts and Pa￿nents Account- which breaks the report down into more detsil - will be availab￿ on request at any time. Income in 2021= My thanks go to everyone at Epiphany for your continuing commilrnent to Stewardship and giving to keep the churth running in 2021. Both planned gNing and loose plate collections increased in 2021. Indeed, you raised £16,010.57 this year compared to £13,708.63 last year and £15,219 in 2019. However, income from hall lettings reduced from £4,737 in 2020 to £3,381.50 and net fees from weddings and funerals amounted to £601.00 compared to £1042.40 in 2020. Income from voluntary donations was slightly less than in 2020. despite a generous donation of £1500 from the Leeds Church Instituie after the church hosted Iheir House of Questions Exhibition between 21 st and 29th July in July. 2 donations totalling £250 SpecIfi￿lIY to go towards the cost of heating the church and other voluntsry donations totalling £1278.32. Furthemiore, there was no legacy income in 2021. £2.534.95 representlng gift atd recovered was received. Overall therefore Incon￿ in the General Fund was £13.206.88 less than in 2020. (But the total expenditure from this fund was £11,602.42 less than in 2020). Income from grants of £25,000 from Historic England Covid19 Emergency Heritsge at Risk Response Fund and £6000 from the Leeds Church Extension Society was re￿iVed but this was restricted for use towards the Nave ￿lling repairs and did not impact on the General Fund. Ex￿ndItUre in 2021: The Parish Share was paid in full in 2020 despite the effects of lod(down thanks to a generous donation of £2,000 from Roundhay St. John's church. In 2021 the Parish Share in￿eased to £19,006 and the PCC agreed wlth the DI0￿Se to pay 250/0 of the monthly amount and rf possible pay additional amounts later in the year. The PCC agreed that from October 2021 the monthly payments would increase so by the year end 50Vo of the total Share due was paid. This was due to parishioners, commitment to stewardship throughout the year and unifomHI groups and communty groups using the church hall again when possible. I know that it was a huge sadness io the congregation that, for the first tyne in its history. the church had not paid its full Parish Share. But. in the circumstan￿8 of a pandemic induced lockdown and the church b￿n closed for essential Nave ￿lling repairs, paying 50% was a really commendable achievement. Whilst the PCC remains committed to paying what Parish Share it can. this is not a legal obligation and therefoE, the trustees flexed the amount of Parish Share paid during 2021 to ensure the charity remained a Going Con￿rn. Church and Hall running expenses were £1794.19 in 2021 compared to £3636.57 in 2020 for Gas and Electricity. This reflects a much better tariff with Octopus Energy and 2 specffic generous donations of £50 and £200 which redU￿j the billed costs from £2044.19. Several unexpected repairs were rEcessary when the church hall was reopened after lockdown i.e. replacement lighting. hall heaters and a new hot water heater. The church maintains a designated building fund for repairs Within its General Account and this sufficed. The repla￿ment of the hall heaters and the new watet boiler will be completed in January 2021 and the bank account Shov￿ sufficient reserrfes. Cleaning costs increased in 2021 as the church and hall reopened and a deep clean was required after the scaffoldirvJ was removed on completK)n of the Nave ceiling repairs. maintenan￿ contracts with various cnmpanies wete continued in order to ensure that the church and hall ware well looked after. £100 was given to tr£ National Churches Tnjst. Furthemiore the PCC agreed that collections from baptisms, the Carol Servi￿ and donatiork8 in lieu of Christmas cards between members of the congregation would be sent to Christian Aid. (A ch8que for £314.30 was sent in January 2022) Despite running Church Services both online andlor in Church - depending on the pandemic restrictions at the time - the cost of services reduced from £624 in 2020 to £524 in 2021.These costs include items such as Li￿nceS. Zoom fees. candles, attar breads and service sheets. The church was closed. not only due to lod(down in the parKlemic, but for a significant time between 24th March and 21 st June whilst major repairs were carried out to the Nave ￿llIng. The total cost of £59,634.24 was funded from the church restricted reserves tcgether with significant grant aid of £25,000 from Historic EnglarKI Covid19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund and £6000 from the Leeds Church Extension Society so did not inpact on the General Fund. £31,440 was taken out of the CBF fund which holds the church resep4es to contribute towards the total costs of £59,634.24 of the Nave ￿llIng works ne￿sSary to ensure the good maintenance of the Grade 1 Listed Parish Church. This was made up of £4.472.25 from unrestricted reseNes £23,451.45 from the restricted building fund and £3,516.00 from the designated special appeal building fund. After re￿ivIng the VAT refund of £9.939.04 we reinvested £12.744.80 into the CBF fund comprising £4,472.55 into unrestricted teseTves. £3.516 into the designated special appeal building fund and £4,756.25 into the restricted building fuThl. For 2022: The PCC approved a budget for 2022 that included paying the Parish Share of £19,211 in full. The PCC and Finan￿ Team will be carefully over￿Ing the cash flow of the Church to ensure it remains financially solvent and not at risk of been unable to meet its obligat'ons. A¢¢ountlng Pollcy: The Accounts have been prepared on a 'Receipts and Payments, basis, which means that transacttons are accounted for as money is ￿e1Ved or spent, rather than accruals accounting. Funds: The accounts are separated into various pots of money, for general, designated or restricted use,. General funds are for the daY-t￿daY running of the Church arwj Hall. Iksignated funds are those pots of money that are set aside from the general fvnds, to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are those which must be u￿1 for a very specific purpose, for example grants or donations for specific things. The table below explains what the various fu￿lS are: Type of fund Name of fund Purpose UnTeStric￿j Designated General BF-Des runnin costs £200 each month is saved in this account to put towards Maintenance.

Restricted BF-Res Restricted Healir Restricted MU Restricted Restricted One-off Reserves Policy: The PCC aims to keep between 3 and 6 months running costs in the bank at all times. This is a minimum of £8.000 and a maximum of £18,000. in the general funds. This ensures that the Church is able to meet its running costs for 3 months. At the end of 2021 there was £22,512.24 in the General fund. This is more than the r&sep4e, but it was considered to be appropriate given that it included £4,570 ts one-off expendi￿re in January 2022 for replacemerrt heaters and a new ¥Yater boiler in the hall. io Movement of funds: This table shows the movement of money between the funds Fund and type Fund balan￿S brought forward from 2020 18,716.30 Incoming resources Outgoing resour Transfers Fund balan forward to 2022 Unrestricted - General Fund Designated - Building Fund Designated - Building Special eal Fund Designated - namo Designated - 25.434.66 18,338.72 (3.300.00) 22,512.24 258.76 0.00 2989.43 3,300.00 569.33 3.516.00 3.516.CK) 3.516.00 3.516.00 63.12 0.00 63.12 69.20 0.00 69.20 Restricted - 1,107.07 0.00 0.00 1107.07 Restricted - Building Fund Restricted - Healin Restricted - Mothers Union Restricted - hAi&sion with young le Restricted - One-off rants TOTALS 23.451.45 37423.04 56118.24 4756.25 31.69 31.69 30.00 0.00 30.00 218.18 218.18 0.00 47.461.77 66373.70 80962.39 32,873.08 Following the ongoirKJ impact of CoronaviNs parKlemic. which has induded the closure of the church buildings at various times during 2020 and 2021, the level of income received by the PCC into its General Account redu￿.
