The Parish is part of Handsworth & Central Deanery, in the Church of England Diocese of Birmingham. 

The PCC is responsible for working with the Incumbent to promote the whole mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical - in the Parish of Perry Beeches.  This includes the life of the Parish Church of St Matthew, including the church centre complex comprising the large hall, lounge and family room, and grounds, and the general and restricted funds

required for the operation of the church and centre, and for the mission of the Parish. 

Members of the PCC are either ex-officio or elected annually by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. The ministers licensed to the Parish and Churchwardens are members by virtue of their office.  Deanery Synod representatives are elected at the APCM and hold office for three years. Other members of the PCC are elected at the APCM.  Up to two additional members can be co-opted by the PCC.

## **Electoral Roll** 

In April 2022, there were 59 names on the Electoral Roll. No names have been added or removed during the course of the year. 

## **Usual Sunday Attendance** 

Our main act of worship on a Sunday is the 10.00am Parish Mass. During 2022, the average attendance at this service was 34 adults, 4 children under 16 and 31 communicants. 

## **Usual weekday attendance.** 

Throughout 2022 we maintained 3 weekday celebrations of the Mass: 

Page 2 



Monday 7.00pm (from 5[th] September 2022)  Average Communicants: 4 Thursday 10.00am (from 5[th] September 2022) Average communicants: 7 Friday 12 noon   Average communicants : 3 

## **Other services:** 

We have maintained a weekly ‘phone-in’ service for those who are no longer able to physically attend ‘in person’ worship. Average ‘attendance’ at these services is between 10 to 17. 

Morning and Evening Prayer is said at fixed times on most weekdays either in person or on ‘Zoom’ with an average attendance of 2 to 3. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The PCC makes all decisions corporately, except that the Standing Committee has delegated powers to make decisions between PCC meetings, subject to keeping the PCC fully informed. 

The PCC is responsible for all parish finance, its management and control, including the appointment of the treasurer.  The work of the PCC is supported by its committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC. These are: 

**Standing Committee** – Consisting of the Vicar, Churchwardens, Parish Treasurer, Lay Chairperson, PCC Secretary, and one other member of the PCC elected by the PCC.  They have power to transact the business of the PCC between PCC meetings, reporting to the full PCC as appropriate. 

**Fabric and Finance Committee** – Including the Parish Treasurer, the Churchwardens, the Vicar, other PCC members as appointed, to ensure adequate skills and representation and other invited members with appropriate knowledge and skills regarding our buildings and their maintenance. They are responsible for the production of reports and recommendations for the PCC. 

**Church Growth Group** – established after the PCC’s annual review in 2016. This Includes the Vicar, another member of the PCC, the Clerk for Baptisms & Marriages, and other appointed members with appropriate knowledge and skills. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Mindful of its responsibility for the mission of the Church in Perry Beeches Parish, the PCC seeks to provide a welcoming spiritual home and community resource for all in the neighbourhood.  Our worship is firmly rooted in a modern and inclusive Catholic tradition centred on the Eucharist, but we recognise that God’s love and saving grace are not limited to the 

Page 3 



confines of the church building and its institutional life.  St Matthew’s bears witness to this through its on-site life, where the sacred space sits side-byside with the hall which draws in many people from the wider community. 

Our specific aims and objectives are: 

- The provision of Regular public worship open to all. 

- The provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation. 

- Pastoral work, including visiting the sick and bereaved 

- Teaching Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups 

- Leading Collective Worship (Assembly) in schools and welcoming schools on church visits and for specific services (e.g. Easter and Christmas) 

- Promoting Christianity through the staging of events and meetings, the distribution of literature and the use of Social Media. 

- Promoting the whole mission of the church through provision of activities for people of all ages and abilities. 

- Encouraging and enabling individuals to be faithful and effective disciples of Jesus Christ. 

- Organising and/or hosting Community Events 

- Making our buildings available as a resource to local Community Groups. 

## **PCC Secretary’s report 2022** 

The PCC met on 8 occasions during the year with an average attendance of 13 members per meeting. 

Major items of discussion included: 

- Agreement to join a 5-year project, along with 4 other parishes including St. John’s Perry Barr, to provide the resources to employ an Anglo Catholic Missioner with responsibility for growth 

**and** 

- Under the “People and Places” initiative, agreeing to join a small group 

- of local churches in order to promote closer links and enable the sharing of resources. 

Other topics discussed included reaching agreement to replace the church hall boiler, upgrading the existing fire alarm system in order to conform to current fire service regulations and resolving issues surrounding the flooding of the vestry and visitor car park. **Adrian Deverell PCC Secretary**

## **Children and Families Worker:** 

We appointed Rosalind Hardy in September 2020 and she continues to work, along with volunteers, with the Children in the benefices of St. Matthew’s and Lozells and Newtown. 

We have maintained a Sunday School on most Sundays, coinciding with the Parish Mass, but attendance varies enormously. We also run a ‘Messy Church’ session in all school holidays, with 5 sessions during the long summer holiday. 

We are slowly re-establishing relations with local schools following lockdown and have made particular progress with Glenmead School where we have once again begun to take part in Assemblies, and for whom we have hosted church visits and a Christmas Carol Service. 

## **Prayer & Spiritual Development.** 

The spiritual life of the parish centres on the **Daily Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer** which are said according to the following pattern: 

Sunday: 9.15 in person (Chapel) Monday: 9.00 in person (Chapel) and 17.00 on ‘Zoom’ Tuesday: Said in private Wednesday: 9.00 on ‘Zoom’   and 16.00 in person (rotating venue in ‘Oversight Area’) Thursday: 9.00 in person (Chapel) 17.00 on ’Zoom’ Friday: Said in private Saturday:            Said in private 

The celebration of **The Eucharist** is also at the heart our tradition and takes place at the following times: Sunday: 10.00 Monday: 19.00 Thursday: 10.00 Friday: 12.00 

A **Julian Group** meets for contemplative prayer once a month. 

Our team of **Lay Pastoral Assistants** regularly visit the sick and housebound members of the parish, and assist in taking Communion to those unable to attend Mass. 

Page 5 



Paul Phipps, our Reader in training, is a valued member of our Lay Minister team along with Peter Conabeer who has been a Reader at St. Matthew’s for many years. 

The council has complied with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 to have due regard to House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. 

Thanks to the people of St. Matthew’s we were able to deliver Cards at Easter and Christmas to all of the parish. 

In 2022 there was 1 **Baptism** . Baptism is offered either as part of the 10.00am Mass or as a separate stand-alone  service, usually at 12.00pm. 

Most **funerals** take place at Perry Barr Crematorium. In 2022  6 Funerals took place in church and 8 at a Crematorium or Cemetery Chapel.  There were no **weddings** in church. 

A Fun Day marking the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth II was held in June 2022 and an annual Christmas Fayre in December 2022, both of which were well supported and most appreciated by the people of the parish. 

The Friday Café did not reopen following the pandemic, but there are plans to develop a similar initiative on Thursdays from Easter 2023. 

**Church Fabric** Our grade 2 listed church building (Murray & Maguire, 1964) provides an exceptionally user-friendly space for prayer and worship. It is also potentially an excellent space for concerts and other events, and is currently underused in this regard as there are issues of lighting and sound that first need to be addressed. 

**Church cleaning, flower arranging, and gardening** are carried out by volunteers.  The Parish is very conscious of the value of all the volunteer hours that we depend on every day. 

**Partnership with other Christians** St Matthew’s participates fully in the life of the Diocese and Deanery.  Our Parish enjoys a friendly informal partnership with the neighbouring Parishes of St John’s, Perry Barr and St Paul’s and St. Bernard’s, Hamstead. This partnership is set to become more formalised as an ‘Oversight Area’ in the diocesan initiative ‘People and Places’. We also share our Children and Families Worker with the Benefices of Lozells & Newtown. 

Page 6 



There is an established ecumenical relationship with Beeches Evangelical Church and Perry Beeches Baptist Church, with the ministers meeting together regularly for discussion, prayer and mutual support. Sadly, joint services and pulpit exchanges are currently on hold due to significant differences regarding St Matthew’s firm commitment to inclusivity, specifically on LGBTQ+ issues, reflecting tensions in this area in the wider church. The Ministers are all committed to working together to resolve this issue and to re-establish a regular pattern of joint services. It is a cause of great sadness to St Matthew’s that this one area of disagreement has resulted in the temporary discontinuation of ecumenical projects, and we look forward to the matter being resolved. 

## **Financial Review** 

We rely on St Martin’s Trust to pay our Vicar’s stipend, and our administrator, our organist, and our Children and Families worker. They also assist with office expenses and contribute to the housing costs of the Curate. 

St. Matthew’s regular charities, Malawi and ‘Embrace the Middle East’ have still been supported this year through our online giving scheme, albeit with a reduced contribution. 

Our common fund payment in 2022 was £23,100 (some £2278 short of our requested total of £25,378). 

We must acknowledge the generosity of our congregation. Many of them contribute to the Church via the Parish Giving scheme, standing orders and envelope contributions, as well as plate donations at services in Church. 

**Hall hire** during 2022 has seen an increased number of regular groups hiring during the week. This has been profitable for the PCC. Although the hall was also opened up in 2022 for private party hire, this has not proved as profitable as we had hoped. 

## **Church wardens Reports** 

The Terrier, listing land belonging to the church, and the inventory of items belonging to the church have been checked and all items are accounted for. All Church’s insurances are in place and up to date. 

2022 has seen great changes at St. Matthew’s. After 15 months of interregnum and the still present threat of Covid it was with great pleasure we welcomed our new vicar Father Trevor Thurston Smith in February 2022. Father Tom Ruston, a Deacon, joined us in June 2022 and is with us for 12 months.  This, along with the covid 19 regulations being further lifted has 

Page 7 



meant that we are now having services 3 times a week in addition to Sundays, some being attended more than others. 

In practical terms we have had a new boiler fitted in the Church Hall which has been greatly appreciated by the groups using the Church Centre. 

We have had a grant for new chairs for the Church Centre and a grant to help us upgrade our kitchen equipment. 

Due to flooding in the vestry we had to have substantial work done which took rather a long time but has vastly improved the vestry. 

We had our 5 yearly electrical inspection, but this highlighted no issues. 

The sound and lighting in the Church both urgently need upgrading. We are in the process of getting quotes but will also need to raise the money. 

## **Janet Cook Tim Bartlett** 

## **Social Activities and Entertainment** 

During the last twelve months we have started to re-introduce some of the community activities which could not take place during the pandemic. 

We had a great day for the Queen’s Jubilee in June 2022. We had a Fun Day with afternoon tea, bingo and activities in the Church for the children. These included crafts and a new venture for St. Matthew’s a bouncy castle in the Church.  100 people from the local community and Church came and had a good time.  We are going to do a similar activity for the King’s Coronation. 

We have also had a Skittle night, a Beetle Drive, and a Bingo evening all of which have been enjoyed by those attending. We hope to continue with these activities which bring together the members of the Church and nonChurch members. 

In May last year 11 of us eventually went to Jersey on a week’s holiday. This holiday was postponed from 2020 and we all had a great time. 

## **SAFEGUARDING REPORT** 

Each year we are required to review and report to the APCM what tasks are outstanding or not fully implemented in relation to our work with children and young people and vulnerable adults. 

Page 8 



These tasks are: 

- To ensure that copies of the latest policies and the Pocket Guide to Safeguarding are made available to volunteers. 

- To ensure that volunteers undergo safeguarding training, including instruction on what to do if they receive information or have concerns about possible abuse. This should be renewed and updated as required. 

- To ensure that volunteers and staff are aware of the expectations upon them, particularly in relation to social media and the use of text messaging with those under 18. 

- To complete and update risk assessments for activities and to ensure that adequate insurance is in place for them. 

- To clarify our first aid needs and to train volunteers as appropriate. 

- To continue to ensure that consent forms for under 18s and contact details for volunteers are in place and up to date. 

- To be sure that confidential details are kept securely and where they need to be shared are done so according to correct procedure and are GDPR compliant. 

## **Safeguarding Officer Report 2022** 

During the year, the Safeguarding, Domestic Abuse and Recruitment of Ex-offender policies were reviewed along with the Safeguarding Action Plan. 

As a result of the requirement for DBS checks to be conducted every 3 years as opposed to 5 previously, an ongoing programme has been implemented in order to bring these up to date. 

In December, the Safeguarding Officer underwent training to enable them to conduct training as and when required within the church environment.

## **Vicar’s Report 2022** 

I have always believed that when a priest moves to a new parish, their first twelve months are best spent taking the spiritual temperature of the church, getting to know the people, learning how things have been done in the past, gaining a sense of the parish’s strengths and weaknesses and generally getting ‘bedded-in’. 

I’m enormously grateful, therefore, for the support, encouragement and shared wisdom that I have received over the last year or so, not least from our Churchwardens, Janet and Tim, but also from many members of our very welcoming congregation, all of which have enabled me to do these things. 

Last year in this report, when I had only been in post for a couple of months, I wrote: 

_“When I first read the Parish Profile……. I sensed that St Matthew’s would be a warm, vibrant and faithful Church community. Two months into the job, I’m delighted to say that that perception, however it was arrived at, is proving to be correct.”_ 

That perception has, if anything, been further strengthened by my experiences over the last year. 

I also commented that we had a number of challenges to face: 

_“In common with many other parishes, we need to do a certain amount of rebuilding of our congregation and our finances, following the major disruption caused by Covid.  As well as exploring how best we can develop our mission to the local community - including its families and young people - we also need to look at how we can nurture regular worshippers and newcomers alike in the faith in order to grow both spiritually and numerically.”_ 

Like many other churches, our attendance figures, although very steadily rising, have not returned to pre-Covid levels. There are various reasons for this, including the fact that some former worshippers will still not feel confident about re-joining public ‘in person’ worship, whilst others will simply have got out of the routine of coming to church. Of course, it would be wonderful to have those people back, not because we want our numbers to increase - that should never be our primary motivation - but because the Body of Christ in this place is diminished without them and because they matter to the God who longs to feed his people, principally as they gather together to celebrate the Eucharist. 

Page 10 



Whilst it’s important not to be ‘hectoring’ in any way, we need to gently urge and encourage those members of our church family who are able to re-join us for worship to do so, but just as importantly, we need to encourage _new_ people to join us too. 

I believe that our friendly, relaxed ambience, our commitment to inclusivity and the quality of our worship are all (if you pardon the secular language) key ‘selling points’, and we shouldn’t be shy of inviting others to ‘come and see’; indeed, this is part of the mission of every Christian. 

Whilst you will gather from my opening paragraph that I don’t favour the ‘new broom sweeping clean’ principle, it is clear to me that we need to address our missional challenges in a number of ways, building upon the many strengths that St Matthew’s has, but also recognising that this will involve an element of change. Frankly, as a growing number of our folk are realising, the time when we could do all of this on our own is long past, and we now need to look for new ways of working in partnership with other churches, community groups and other agencies. 

In this regard, during the course of 2022, three potentially exciting developments have emerged. 

The first is the setting up of an ‘Anglo-Catholic Mission Enabler’ post for three years using Strategic Development Fund money from the Church Commissioners. This is a pilot project which is being developed jointly by St Matthew’s, St John’s Perry Barr, St Mark’s Kingstanding, St Alban’s Highgate and St George’s Edgbaston. The person appointed will work with each of these parishes in exploring how their mission can be made more effective in their specific context and identifying what further support and resources we need to make this happen. 

The second is a re-shaping of our approach to work with young people and families. I’m very grateful to Ros Hardy for all that she has done in her role as Children and Families Worker, especially as she had to grapple initially with Lockdown, two incumbents leaving unexpectedly and the challenge of trying to hold together a post shared between two very different benefices. 

The three-year grant for this post ends in September 2023, and, subject to funding (which is currently being sought) we are now looking to create a new full-time post of ‘Children, Youth and Families Ministry Leader’, based solely at St Matthew’s, which will also have a more outward-looking, missional focus. 

The third development stems from the Church of England Birmingham ‘People and Places’ initiative and is the proposal that St Matthew’s, St John’s Perry Barr and St Paul’s and St Bernard’s, Hamstead should form a local 

Page 11 



‘Oversight Group’, working together and supporting one another in various aspects of mission and ministry. As the clergy of these parishes already have a good working relationship, I think there is great potential here, but we will need to overcome a tendency to insularity, which I suspect is one of St Matthew’s weaknesses. 

In addition to these initiatives, we are hoping to develop a weekly Coffee Morning following Mass on a Thursday, which may evolve in due course into a ‘Community Café’, again perhaps developed in partnership with others as some kind of Social Enterprise. 

Alongside all of this, there is the potential to improve the spiritual nurture offered to our congregation, especially its newer members. I believe very firmly that numeric growth only occurs where first there is spiritual growth, and I’m hoping and praying that through a series of Pilgrimages, Quiet Days, Retreats and Discipleship Courses over the next two years or so, we will experience genuine renewal within our firmly Catholic tradition. 

Over the last year, a couple of potential ‘springboards’ for this renewal have emerged. 

First, in October we hosted a Midlands Renewal Day for ‘On Fire Mission’ (for whom I’m currently the Midlands Co-ordinator). Attended by over eighty people, it was good to be joined by some of our regular congregation for this event which brought together worship that was both sacramental and spiritfilled, and traditional and contemporary with a gentle Charismatic edge. Those of our number who attended enjoyed the day and were reassured that it is possible to worship occasionally in a slightly different way, with more contemporary music etc without compromising on our tradition or altering our standard form of worship week by week. It’s likely that we will again be hosting this event in 2023, and I personally hope that our relationship with ‘On Fire Mission’ will develop further, not least because this rapidly growing movement is bringing new life to many Anglo-Catholic churches and is attracting many younger worshippers. We ignore our growing need for the latter at our peril! 

Second, I’m grateful to our Curate Fr Tom for establishing a weekly Bible study, which I know has been much appreciated by those who have taken part. Again, this kind of small group work is a vital element in spiritual growth and renewal and I hope we will be able to do more of it in the future. 

This brings me very conveniently to the subject of Fr Tom! It has been good to have him with us, and to benefit from his ministry as a Deacon following his ordination in June. Sadly, Tom’s time with us is limited to a year due to his plans to marry and move to the Diocese of Chester in June 2023. 

Page 12 



Nevertheless, I for one have enjoyed having him as a colleague and I know you will all join me in wishing him and his fiancée Amy every blessing in their new life together. 

The diocese is keen to place another Curate here, and we will be joined at Petertide 2023 by Br Martin Price SSF following his ordination as Deacon. Br Martin is a fully-professed member of the Franciscan Order, and has recently been appointed as Novice Master. Following his ordination, he will continue to live in the Franciscan House in Edgbaston, but will spend Sundays and another couple of days a week here at St Matthews. We look forward to welcoming him and to exploring what impact having a ‘Religious’ on the ministry team has on our life of worship, work and witness. 

In the meantime, I have been very appreciative throughout the year of the Ministry of our two Licensed Readers – Peter Conabeer and Paul Phipps, though the ministry of the former was sadly limited due to ill-health. I’m grateful, too, for the work of our very faithful team of Pastoral Assistants. 

So, having reviewed the past year and the opportunities and challenges it has presented, and having given some idea of what I believe should be our future direction of travel, I now need to thank the many people who contribute to the life of St Matthew’s in any way, among them our good friends and Patrons St Martin’s Trust, for whose ongoing financial assistance we are most grateful. There are also many people, including some who work quietly and imperceptibly behind the scenes, who help to keep things going. To name individuals is dangerous, because it brings with it the attendant risk of forgetting someone, but hopefully you all know who you are. So I will simply say “Thank you Team St Matthew’s”! 

With my prayers and best wishes, 

_Fr Trevor_

Respecilve responslbllltles of the PCC and Ex3mlner
As members of the PCC you are responslble for the preparation of the f5fi8ncial ststement5,' you conslder that the audit
requirement of the Regulatlons and s.43121 of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility tD issue this report on those

any unusual items or discSosured In the finandal statements and seekln8 explantions from you as tNstees coticernlng
any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evldence that would be required in an audtt and tonsequently I do not
express an audlt opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examlnérs statement
In connection with my examinatlon, no matter has come to my attention...
11 whl(h gives rne rea50n8ble cause to believe that in any material fespect the requirements
to kEep accounting records in accordance with S41 of the Act,. and
to prepare financial statements, whieh accord with the accounting records and CDmply wlth the requirements of the
Act and the Regulations have not been meL' or
