## **The Parish of St. Peter and St. David Fleetwood.** ## **A Summary of the Annual Report and Financial Statement of the Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31[st] December 2020.** **Incumbent: Canon John Hall M.A. Assistant Priest: Revd. Dr. Christopher Dingwall-Jones** Bank: The National Westminster Bank, Cleveleys, Lancashire. Independent Examiner: Mr D. R. Lund, 21 The Ridgeway, Fleetwood, FY7 8AH. **Our Mission. To be accessible, welcoming and at the heart of the community. In Christ our mission is to serve, care for, teach and pray.** ## **Members of the Council** Canon John Hall, Reverend Christopher Dingwall-Jones, Gloria Birdsall, Michael Rayner, David Stead, John Eastwood, Hilary Craig, Catherine Birks, Lynda Smith, Peter Day, Peter Draper, Joshua Brayshaw, Stephanie Ashcroft, James Lang. ## **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.

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. David Hall ## **Electoral Roll Report 2020** Throughout the year I have continued to maintain the roll by removing, adding, changing names and/or addresses as appropriate. The number on the Electoral Roll for St. Peter and St. David’s as of May 2021 is 109. Di Graveston Electoral Roll Officer ## **Bereavement Group Report** Despite the pandemic and lock-down, I have endeavoured to deliver a card to all remembering loved ones, at the appropriate time, to assure them that we, at St. Peter and St. David are caring for, and supporting them always.
