Secretary’s Report
We have only managed two meetings through the year due to Covid restrictions. The main topics discussed were:
Ongoing Church maintenance,
Mission 2020,
Recovering from Covid 19.
A Report from the Vicar of St. Peter and St. David’s Parish, Fleetwood
I am extremely grateful to all who have helped this year to enable a smooth running of our churches.
We do indeed have a great spirit of teamwork which clearly demonstrates not only a deep love of
our Lord but a deep love for each other. We do however have to ensure that we remain inclusive
and outward looking, so as to avoid becoming a holy ineffectual huddle.
Thank you to the Churchwardens, our Treasurer, Finance support team, Sidesmen and women,
Cleaners, Verger, Florists, Sacrastans, Organists, Servers and Choir for your continued devotion to
the life of the Church. I would also like to thank Fr. Christopher, Jimmy and Stephanie for their
cinematic efforts, for we have been able to offer some kind of worship throughout the whole period
of the pandemic.
Of course throughout this difficult period we have been well supported by the ministry of Gloria our
Licensed Local Minister. She has diligently visited people who have needed a great deal of support,
often putting her own health at risk. Her leadership of Feast on the Word is admirable and many
people feel affirmed by her ministry.
The development of The Pantry by Faith in the Community, Fleetwood has without doubt cemented
our reputation as an institution which is committed to the disadvantaged members of our society.
John Eastwood, Liam Burns, Hilary Craig and me represent the Anglican Church on the Trust Body
ensuring that the poorest members of our parish have a voice in the debate on food poverty. Seeing
Fleetwood old Hospital develop into a community asset has for me been a Kairos moment in my
ministry, being in the Hospital is where we are called to be.
I am very grateful to Kenneth Keenan and Barbara Mason, who behind the scenes have worked very
hard to maintain as sense of “normality”. Barbara quietly cleaning almost every day, Kenneth
keeping the music alive!
Folks, we have much to do! We must be about Mission! Let us be about our Lord’s work.
Canon John Hall M.A.
Treasurer's Report 2020
During the year the duties of Treasurer were undertaken by David Watkins (until March 2020), the Vicar (between April and August) and the incoming Treasurer Maureen Burns (from September).
Utilising the information that was available and some working assumptions, the accounts for the full year (Jan to Dec) have been prepared on behalf of Parish by Maureen Burns. The accounts have been independently examined by Mr Des Lund.
Overall Summary
Financially this year has been very difficult. Our income from envelopes, bank donation and plates, weddings, funerals, coffee mornings, breaking bread, fayres and other events was severally impacted. However, our regular outgoings plus several necessary major repairs at St Peters (over £5,000) and Organ repair (£860) still had to be paid.
Cashflow issues - Earlier in the year there were some cashflow issues, specifically in not being able to pay our monthly Parish Share resulting in bank charges. To manage the cashflow issue £15,000 was drawn down from our CBF savings account.
Parish Share – Towards the end of the year the Diocese advise how much share is remaining. During this review it was found that we were in credit from previous years so that enabled us to adjust our monthly payments. Therefore, at the end of the year we had paid £38,744 in Parish Share (£11,000 previous credit plus £27,744 in new payments)
Pray to Give – The campaign in the Autumn raised £3,042 for the Parish.
Gas – Cost of our gas consumption was high £6,605, the majority of costs were for St Peters.
Scottish Power (St Davids) – There have been ongoing "discussions" with Scottish Power about the cost of electric into St David's. These discussions have been long, very difficult and ongoing for some time. In June 2020 Scottish Power mistakenly issued a refund of all electric charges for St David's since 2017 – a
sum of £3,532.50. They then proceeded to ask for between £1,700 and £4,700 back. The Auditor wanted to ensure the Parish was aware that at the end of 2020 there was still an ongoing debt to Scottish Power that would have to be paid, at some point, from our current account. What we didn’t know at the time of producing these accounts was how much that would be. Update – This matter has now been resolved and next years account will show that we cleared the debt to Scottish Power by paying a sum of £ 1,741.99.
Mustard Seed – Mustard Seed reserves of £5,431 were transferred into the Parish Accounts, along with a small amount of cash in hand. The majority of this money £5,331.40 is now reserved for Mustard Seed use and currently sits in our CBF savings account.
Charitable/ Social giving – even though it was a difficult year it should be noted that the Parish continued to pay Organists, Cleaners and Set up Manager, as normal, throughout the year. The Parish also contributed to a retreat at Whalley Abbey for the Faith in the Community Team (£988), along with contributing (£1,600) to Faith in the Community to help with transition arrangements into the Pantry.

St. Peter’s Choir Report
May 2021
This has been a very unusual year for the choir. The Church of England suspended all worship services 17th March 2020 ahead of the
first national lockdown on 23rd March 2020. Since then there have been
two more national lockdowns and other local restrictions which have
affected our ability to meet and sing. The choir met in December during
a lull in restrictions to record the Nine lessons and Carols which were
broadcast online later. Many thanks and appreciation to the choir for
coming out to church to provide this service.
When rules have allowed, soloists have sung hymns during Sunday
morning services. Thank you to all those who took part and to Kenneth
Keenan for his work behind the scenes.
At the time of writing the choir has come through the pandemic
without suffering loss from the virus and we are feeling cautiously
optimistic about returning to normality. Choir practices have resumed
on Fridays at 7pm and new members who can sing are welcome to join
us.

Examinations of St Peter’s Accounts 2020
The Accounts for January 2020 to December 2020 have been prepared with a difficult background which have led to some payments being made without the necessary detail being produced.
Although I am happy to approve the statement of accounts, I feel I need to qualify my approval of the accounts because of the difficulties that occurred early in the year.
This is not to say that I have any problem with the way the current Treasurer has completed the task as I have complete confidence in the current holder of the office.
