Sutcllffe F. Torevell Dent Ltd Centre of Excellence Hope Park Trevor Foster Way Bradford West Yorkshlre BD5 8HH Date: 02.05.2024 HOLY TRINITY PARISH CHURCH, IDLE ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL FROM 1 JANUARY 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023** ## **ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION** Holy Trinity Parish Church is situated in Town Lane, Idle, Bradford and is in the Bradford Episcopal Area in the Diocese of Leeds. The correspondence address is: Holy Trinity Parish Church Town Lane Idle Bradford West Yorkshire, BD10 8NS Telephone No. 01274 615411 The Church maintains an internet website at http://www.holytrinityidle.org.uk/ and is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HolyTrinityParishChurch Since 13 November 2014 the Parochial Church Council of Idle Parish (PCC) has been registered as an independent charity through the Charity Commission, registration charity number 1159198. PCC members who have served from the APCM election 2023 until the date this report was approved are: **Incumbent:** The Revd Jim Taylor **Curate:** Revd Leah Thompson **Readers:** Angie Johnson, Gill Taylor, John Capewell **PCC Secretary** : Nyreen Johnson **Wardens** Churchwarden: Philip Cavalier-Lumley Churchwarden: Eric Hudson **Treasurer Emeritus** Les Walker ## **Lay Representative on the Deanery Synod** Michael Nichols David Carroll ## **Elected Members** Neena Dey, Danielle Brown, Ruth Maybank, Steve Cooper, Sarah Thornton, Linda Addinall, Linda Inkster, Eileen Weaver, Susan Carroll, John Turner, John Mitchell, Jacke Deveraux ## **Other Members** Vergers: Miss Susan Laycock ## **Co-opted Members** Youth Pastor: Bethany Clifford Curate: Leah Leighton Curate: Laya Watters Project Manager: Hugh Inkster ## **Special Responsibilities within the PCC** Electoral Roll Officer John Capewell Treasurer Philip Cavalier-Lumley Disability Representative Robin Johnson School Governor Representative Dan Thornton Safeguarding Officer Tracy Marson Environmental Officer Beth Lamont 1 ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All those who attend Church services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. ## **Objectives and Activities** Holy Trinity PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, the Revd Jim Taylor, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. ## **CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES** 2023 saw a “return to normal business” for the PCC in many ways but also a year in which they were able to review, consolidate and implement new ways of working. The main difference being the financial reporting systems and updates because of some dedicated work on our accounting procedures and processes and the formation of the Financial Review Team. We also implemented a Policy Review Team to review and refresh all the charities policies to ensure we are operating according to best practice and procedures, and the addition of a second churchwarden has helped to alleviate some of the burden of that role, great progress has been made by the warden team in implementing some new initiatives and work. This has allowed the PCC to be more focused on the day-to-day business, the various ministry and mission groups/ events and the overall vision, beginning 2024 with a clear picture of the financial position month by month. The aim is to have Resource Groups that will be responsible for key areas of mission and ministry, providing expertise, insight and recommendations for future plans and progress. These will include members from across all the congregation. This report documents some of the highlights of the year and the PCC’s involvement in the leading and directing of the church’s stated aim of _PROMOTING IN THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH THE WHOLE MISSION OF THE CHURCH._ The PCC met 6 times in 2023. 2 ## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR – 2023** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**----- End of picture text -----**
Overall average attendance in 2023 continues to grow in a steady fashion and we have seen a regular increase in new people attending both our 9.30am and 11am services, from families attending the 11am All Together services to people who have expressed an interest in exploring faith further. A welcoming environment and options for further discipleship such as home groups and courses (Alpha etc.) are contributing to people returning to church or joining church for the first time. After the influx post lockdowns, Life Services have returned to pre-pandemic levels. We always receive very positive feedback from families holding and attending these events and we are very grateful for the teams of volunteers who make these experiences such memorable events for local families. They also allow us to make connections in the community that contributes to our good standing with and the feeling of very much belonging to the local community and being an active part of people’s lives in Idle and Thackley. **----- Start of picture text -----**
