Structure, governance and management

The charity is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and Church Representation Rules that came into force 2 January 1957 as amended.

Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees

The method of appointment of trustees is set out in the Church Representation Rules.

All members of the congregation are given the opportunity to register on the Church Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

PCC members (trustees) are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the life and action of the church, including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. There are three Parish Ministry Teams, responsible to the PCC, that focus on a particular aspect to see work progresses:

l Outreach
l Pastoral
l Resources

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

Promoting the whole mission of the Church.

The charity's main activities

Girlington, Heaton & Manningham Parochial Church Council (PCC) works with the incumbent to promote the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church buildings and their grounds.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of the Church Family. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church buildings.

Public benefit statement

When planning our Church activities, the PCC is mindful of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. We try to enable ordinary people to live out the Christian faith as part of our parish community through:

l Worship and prayer.
l Learning about the gospel and developing knowledge and trust in Jesus.
l Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
l Care for the less fortunate.
l Engagement with people of other faiths to bring about a better understanding of one another. l Building community.
l Offering the buildings to local schools as a learning resource.
l Providing care and hospitality through hosting children’s activities.
l Mission and outreach work.

The Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham in 2021

Gathered, Scattered… Or Both?

We've been shaken, we've been stirred. Each time things ‘settle down’ there has been another nudge, another factor that we hadn’t expected. How much change is needed for us to become immune to it? How much enforced change is needed before we look up and ask God if he wants us to change?!?

We began 2021 with a service on January 3rd at St Philip's Church. Before the week was out we’d decided to return to lockdown as COVID-19 cases soared and the nation struggled again to cope.

Discipleship groups stayed online. So, we embraced zoom again. Our Freedom in Christ Course was hybrid, both online in the week and the theme of our services on Sunday mornings.

We took the first step of our “Gathered and Scattered” idea by launching St Philip's Community Pantry in early January. What a sight to see people queuing round the block to get into church! How blessed we were with funding for food beyond what we could shop for and store in our buildings! We began to see the same people at St Paul’s café on a Friday too – relationships and trust deepened.

This sense of being scattered but gathered online was apparent in Lent with our Ash Wednesday service a blend of zoom and YouTube. We embraced it again on Palm Sunday with a Parish Boundary walk when we scattered in groups – but were gathered online as we shared photos and prayers on WhatsApp.

On Good Friday we had our first indoor personal prayer at St Martin’s Church with space outside to reflect and meditate, walk the stations of the cross, create an Easter Garden or help paint a montage of Holy Week.

Celebrating Easter Sunday with a Communion Service outside was a fitting celebration of a momentous day in history. What joy to spend time together seeing friends we had not caught up with for ages.

Back inside after Easter we had a challenge about our Resources with a series called “Generous - A Life worth Giving”. Remember Time, Talent & Treasure?

Our APCM was much delayed but by then we were really being challenged about how we could emerge from all this change stronger and ready to face our future together. This developed into the Parable of the Two Luncheon Clubs. To boost our Luncheon club do we need a new chef to cook what we like when we like it? Or a Nutritionist to teach us how to be healthy?

By the time we reached Pentecost we were praying in Church on Sunday mornings – but with people zooming in from home to pray with us. What a blessing to hear the prayers of God’s people from around the Parish while they were at home (and even on holiday!)

June brought Baptisms and an amazing occasion when we came together to welcome new members into God’s family. We also said a sad farewell to Sue Jennings who left us to become a Mission Partner with CMS.

With the summer came some sort of normality. 2 Trips to Whitby and one to Kettlewell. A Big Tea Party in St Barnabas to raise funds for the NHS. We could also sing again in Church – an emotional experience.

We started to learn about Heroes of the Old Testament and had numerous Parish Forums to talk through where we were going and how we felt about it.

As summer came to an end we celebrated Creationtide with a challenge from the young people. We also began a Community Pantry at St Martin’s Church and then reopened Places of Welcome at St Paul’s Church.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021

Achievements and performance continued

At this point our services were still “COVID flavoured” with very few families attending and little space or time for meeting and talking afterwards.. We took a big step of faith to move the Parish service to St Paul’s Manningham with an unashamedly youth and families focus. “What if Jesus came to my house?” Experiments with Youth Led services as well as “Juicy” where we heard the reading together and then separated to grapple with it in different places in different ways.

By the Grace of God the Rev Ben Care and his family took on the role of Associate Priest and moved to Bradford. Licensed by Bishop Toby in November.

By Advent we had one of our buildings open from Monday to Friday. Offering food provision, aerobics, craft, Place of Welcome, clothes and a hot meal. But more importantly we had reshaped these events to be an expression of our faith. Prayers beforehand, intentional discussions of deeper topics, relationships strengthened. We sang carols and lit Christingles in each place in the run up to Christmas. We returned to most schools for Christmas assemblies. We worshiped in all four churches in the week of Christmas. Had things changed? Would we ever ‘return to normal’? Perhaps we’ll be able to answer these questions next year!

Sunday services

Since September we have been trialling a few new aspects of our services and worship as a Parish. Following a shared zoom worship experience amongst the four historic churches during lockdown, when emerging from the pandemic, we have continued this unity in person.

This began at St Philip’s and is now hosted as St Paul's. The focus of our services has been to have a mixed diet as a church: something that works for everyone. This has led to some experimentation. We have had Sunday School, Breakfast Church, All-Age services, Juicy, Youth Led services, and have now settled into slightly less variation, while also looking to introduce an international flavour to one of our services to make sure everyone feels there is something that helps them enter the presence of God as part of a community.

To add to this, we now look to add in a monthly evening service focusing on prayer and praise. This has certainly been a journey for everyone in the Parish with something familiar and something unusual to each of us, and we hope as we continue our services to refine these to help church feel like home for all of us.

Sunday school

Sunday school lessons started up again in October 2021, just one every four weeks, after many months of them not happening at all. Since February we have met the 1[st] and 3[rd] Sundays.

The Sunday school teachers have met together approximately 5 times to discuss rotas, how the lessons are going and what ideas people have to help deliver their lessons.

We have had fluctuating numbers of children from the lowest amount being 5 to the highest being 19.

We have taught on the same themes as what is being taught in church, what if Jesus came to my house?

There has been lots of positive feedback from children, teachers, and parents. Such as what good discussions have taken place and how the craft activities have impacted on the teaching.

GHM are really blessed to have children as part of their church family and adult leaders who want to share their excitement of learning about Jesus.

Youth – Sunday and wider church gatherings

Sundays - We have been really happy to restart face to face youth activities after the long COVID restrictions. During November 2021 to January 2022, this has just been on the 4[th] Sunday of each month, but from February 2022 onwards we are having youth time on 2 Sundays per month.

The young people are secondary school aged, but year 6 junior school children can step up if they want. The team for our Sunday teaching is Zarine, Heather, Helen and myself. Numbers vary between 2-10 young people, but have averaged 7-8.

We hope to rebuild our friendships with each other and look forward to fun and talking about real issues faced by our young people and exploring what God’s perspective might be. Chris has rallied the young people to plan and lead three youth-led Sunday services.

U:nite

U:nite – Unite started meeting again in October following a break through the pandemic. Outdoor games and Treasure Hunts, Christmas and Pancake parties have been well attended by our secondary school aged young people.

Encouraging them to come along and then providing transport can be a challenge. If you can offer support by taking an interest in our young people and asking them what they have been doing or helping with transport please do speak to Alastair, Sharon or Chris.

Wednesday Parish communion

We meet weekly at St Barnabas Church. For the first part of 2021 this was a 'Phone-in' service. From April we began to meet in person but still with some on the phone. Although we meet in St Barnabas Church this is a Parish Communion service and most weeks, we have people from all four churches. We follow the lectionary readings from the previous Sunday.

Being able to sing in July brought new challenges! It doesn't really work on the phone.... However, we have a number of Hymns that we can sing along to on video. On the 1st Wednesday of each month, we have an organist.

There have been several occasions when the Communion service has opened out afterwards into a community event. We've had a few 'big birthdays' as well as an NHS and McMillan fundraiser.

Chris Chorlton

Discovery groups

This is one of the groups which began on WhatsApp at lockdown in 2020. We have continued to meet, sometimes online but recently mostly in person at St Paul’s after the Friday drop-in. We have not managed every week and are taking a pause at the moment but hope to have several sessions in Lent. There are up to 4 women from Swahili speaking background together with Denise Poole and myself. Others would be welcome to join. As always childcare and work commitments make it quite challenging to find times when we can all get together.

We follow in an informal way the Discovery Bible Study pattern - https://www.dbsguide.org/, and also usually include some reading and/or translation in Swahili. Recently we have been studying the stories in St John’s gospel of the great miraculous signs which Jesus performed. I think we all find that something from our reading and discussion helps us in the prayers with which we finish the session and with the challenges of the week ahead.

Denise Poole & Heather Grinter

Discipleship

As a parish our desire is to nurture a culture of discipleship. Bringing people together from so many background and traditions, means that we need to spend time listening to one another, understanding how our view of God is developing and the challenges and opportunities we face as Christians. Conscious that one size does not fit all, our aim over the coming period is to focus on discipleship, looking for the best ways to equip one another as we seek to follow Jesus.

This last year we ran the Freedom in Christ course which promoted honest discussion. As we come out of these two complicated years we must develop and run courses that give us the opportunity to build relationships with one another around God’s word and grow in faith as disciples of Christ.

Baptisms & celebrations

During 2021 – we have had several celebrations and key points in the life of the parish.

On 20 June 2021, we had a double event. The privilege to hold parish wide baptisms for 4 of our Iranian brothers, one of our community project ladies and one of our young people, all making a declaration of faith and sharing how Jesus has been working in their lives.

It was also a fitting end and celebration of the life and work of Sue Jennings – who was moving into a period of training and preparation to move overseas for a new adventure with Church Mission Society.

With Sue’s departure – there was an opening to come and join the work of GHM – meaning we have been able to welcome Ben Care as Associate Vicar, along with his family. We celebrated their arrival and licencing in November 2021.

Clare Leighton

St Paul’s

In September 2021 we began meeting at St Paul’s for our Sunday morning ‘gathered’ service. The service is also livestreamed on YouTube. With a variety of styles of service being tried out most of the church building has been in use each week.

There has been no major repair works to the church this year. There continues to be a number of leaks in the back porch. Although work on this has been carried out it is believed that the leaks can’t be stopped without major roof works.

St Philip’s

St Philips buildings have sadly generated quite a lot of expense for the parish this year. The heating system had become unreliable, and it took several months for our heating engineers to fix the boiler, which now seems to be functioning well.

We have also had to begin a thorough reassessment of the church’s electrical wiring to obtain a certificate of electrical safety for our insurers – this has not been completed yet.

The church sanctuary is now organised for the Pantry that happens on Tuesdays – with tables and chairs in the middle and shelving in the north transept. This is not hard to re-organise for services, such as the funeral that was recently held in the church.

The main building structure is in generally good order with nothing more than minor maintenance needed for the roof, gutters, windows and doors. The garden is maintained by volunteers.

Alastair Bavington

St Barnabas

The fabric of the church is in reasonable condition at the moment and although we had recent heavy storms and high winds, only a single metal plate, has fallen down!! The plaster has been falling from the north aisle and nave area and every so often we have to have a clean and tidy up. There is an area near the entrance to the church from the Vestry that needs painting following repairs of water damage from previous storms. The tower has had an invasion by pigeons and that has been dealt with and on a recent inspection, the tower was found to be whole with no openings for pigeons!!

The organ, although in good condition following the repair of the electrics, is now in need of some sort of maintenance, as its normal annual contract went by the board during lockdown! We are fortunate in having Ian Baxter play the organ at the 1[st] Wednesday of every month at our Holy Eucharist Service. It has been found that the humidifier has not had a service for a number of years and needs to be seen to. We are at present awaiting a quote by an organ tuner and an organ maintenance person. They have been to see it, in order to give us a quote for the necessary work to be done.

The Lych gate and the flagstones in the front of the Church have been repaired. The outside doors have been painted and studs have been replaced. During the summer and into autumn there has been the gardening group, who have done sterling work on the gardens and have made it look well kept. They hope to resume soon.

Nora Whitham MBE

St Martin’s

In the summer of 2021, each of our churches was visited by Archdeacon Andy Jolley who came to scrutinise our record keeping and to discuss mission and growth. It seems that in general, our registers and inventories seem to be well maintained.

We have had minor repair to our library roof but our quinquennial inspection report in October suggested that we needed major repair work to the North and South flat roofs at the East End of church.

We were fortunate to be able to secure a grant of £2000 from the Diocesan Church Buildings Fund and because this work was classed as urgent, our resource team agreed the remainder of the funds.

Repairs will commence in January 2022. The upkeep of our grounds continues to be carried out by Bradford Council.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021

Achievements and performance continued Parish teams

We have met as an outreach team six times over 2021 and in this time, we have focused on the following questions and challenges.

Why do we do community work and how is this outreach?

How we open each space back up and what do we start back in each place?

What’s our community work identity as a gathered parish?

What is outreach and how do we enable and facilitate the wider GHM family to get involved?

The outreach team started the process of summer trips and community events for the parish. Manningham on Sea was planned for July 2021 but COVID again made it unwise to have run the event.

We asked questions about how Places of Welcome can welcome the wider community and what we offer as part of this space.

How does the pantry and credit union model work within the plan across the parish?

The major question we have kept coming back to - is how we look to plant and grow new faith communities in each place – how we have worship as part of the sessions in an authentic way that’s not transactional.

We tried this during December by having an act of worship around the meaning of Christingle in each Places of Welcome – it was a good time hearing people of different faiths and nationalities – singing carols together while thinking about advent and Christmas.

We are now at the point where we feel it's right to pass the running and development of community spaces to the teams running each community space through the week – meaning we can start to focus on outreach within the church community – what does it mean to share our faith with others? How do we facilitate the church community to share faith and provide opportunities for evangelism? How do we disciple and form each other? How do we help the gathered church community find places of home and get to know each other better?

We have perhaps more questions than answers - looking forward to the next 12 months of adventure and development

Parish Resource Team

We met six times in 2021 to talk about "What cost is this to us?"

Our main resources that we have to offer to our Parish are Buildings, People, Money, Time, Joy, Reputation.

We do spend a lot of time talking about money! Not just how to get more, but the management of it. We haven't had a treasurer since Spring 2021 so that has added many pressures and complications. We have tried to implement policies that will mean less labour intensive management. For example we trialled and rolled out the Parish Giving Scheme. It is a MUCH easier and more simple way for people to give to the church and it automatically claims tax back. If you are not using it please consider it.

We planned and ran a stewardship campaign.

We discussed the Diocesan Strategy Survey - that we will be questioned on each year. The challenging questions were:

How are you engaging with those outside of church?

Are Services designed to be accessible for those who are not used to church?

Do you have organised outreach events?

Are there Seasonal events designed to engage non-churchgoers?

Is the church involved in community services and/or activities?

Do most Sunday acts of worship include at least one reference to living out Christian faith in Monday-toSaturday settings?

Are Church attenders encouraged to share their faith in everyday life?

Our Gift Aid Secretary retired this year - many thanks to Alison Robertshaw who sorted out this complicated task for the whole Parish very efficiently.

Archdeacon's visitation - was prepared for and managed.

Hall Hire - bringing the Village Hall under the management of the PCC has been complicated.

Missional Giving and how to divide up our gifts to help others was discussed at length.

We hired a Parish Administrator - Micaela Witherden

Chris Chorlton

Parish Ministry Team

The Parish Ministry Team has met six times over the past year exploring different dimensions of ministry in the life of the church as we emerge from lockdown. In particular the team has explored:

A series on stewardship which ended with a gift day.

How to continue engaging with our young people during lockdown and over festivals.

The shape of gathered worship after lockdown, thinking through the implications of gathering in one centre and sending, including looking at feedback from Parish Forums regarding our spaces.

How to strengthen pastoral care across the parish, particularly for those who are not able to attend gathered worship. As a consequence of this a team of pastoral visitors who can offer home communion is currently being put together.

Building upon the positive reception to the Discovery Bible Studies, the team has begun to think about discipleship across the parish.

Sharon Bavington led the team after Sue Jennings’s departure and now leadership of the team has passed to Ben Care.

Parish Forum feedback

In a season of so much change, both in our nation and our Parish, our Parish Forums have been a vital part of our church life.

They have provided a space for the leadership of the church to hear and feel the concerns and thoughts of those who call this parish and our collection of churches home. This has allowed for the space and pattern of worship to consider everyone's thoughts and opinions.

They have also provided a great space for us all to hear from each other, helping us to feel seen and represented in the views of others, while also getting to appreciate the difference that is bound to occur in such a vast parish with so many traditions, preferences and cultures.

We have also seen them become a place for prayer and shared concern. We hope that they will continue to be a place of prayerful consideration for the year to come.

Heaton Village Hall update and change

As we all know, the last two years have been different for all of us and in order to comply with the government guidelines due to the Covid 19 epidemic, the Village Hall had to close down.

During this time, the committee has been preparing to hand over the management of the Village Hall to the PCC of GHM, and after lots of administration, this was finally achieved.

When the restrictions were finally lifted, we started to open up again. Unfortunately, some of our regular bookings had decided not to come back, so we are looking for others groups to take their places.

Other bookings for parties etc. have started to increase, and we still have the Karate Group, Home Schooling Group, Armchair Aerobics and the Youth Group who come weekly.

The garden has now been tidied up and we hope to keep it looking good and spend some more time tending to it.

We hope that in the future we will be able to increase the use of the Village Hall and encourage our local community to take advantage of this wonderful building.

Restore Community Work overview

Last year I talked about seminal moments – and I wonder if this year we are still in the same period of questioning and living through a seminal moment of development here at GHM.

The dictionary describes seminal as meaning: “To call something seminal, is when it is so original, so ground-breaking and awesome that it will influence everything that comes after it.”

Restore Community Work overview continues

We have had our pause and breath in... time to take stock and now is the time we have been able to start picking things back up again.

The question is now – what we do with the things we pick back up and how do we look through our parish lenses and find that “sweet spot” ? that place where we can declare Jesus in all we say and do and not just be great community work.

If ever we are in a time of dragon’s friends it is now – as we open our spaces and look to develop the work through the week – I think we are really aiming for planting new Jesus believing families (however small they look at the start) into each of our 4 communities, this is going to take effort, time, and deliberate intention as we move forward.

“There be Dragons”– was the warning to people who strayed into places they shouldn’t. These are often places of danger, unknown outcomes and if the old legends are correct – an odd place of wonder and adventure – never a dull moment and usually a place rich in stories and insight into a new community’s place in the map ....

Dragons go both ways don’t they... for some the stepping out unto the unknown community and wearing our faith proudly for all to see is scary and a place where dragons dwell – the map tell us beware!!! Stay away!!! Stay in the church – it’s the safe place to be,

While for many looking in at us and what we do – they don’t even see the church – just a great stonking fire breathing dragon. We can change that!

If we apply this logic to GHM – we are certainly in the “land of dragons” the question being - will you come and join the adventure?

Our work during the week is growing and developing – each week we are open – we get a little stronger, a little bit more familiar and a little bit braver with those coming into the buildings.

We are developing team in each place and I’m pleased to say drawing locals who have started coming along and want to get more involved into joining the team.

Let us never get tired of hearing the question - How do we worship and share Jesus with our guests and friends?

As we walk this path – we are needing to become more organised, and the community work management group is adapting to better manage the development and growth. This will then make more space and opportunity for team to grow and have space to meet and share with the other teams.

As we have worked on merging all community work - it has been important to find a new identity that helps communicate who we are and why we are here... please meet our new name – Restore (lots of talk about – should we be re: store or restore!!) ☺

We hope this will help unite the community work – we are praying for the restoration of our communities, our friends, we are a “store house” and re-storing place for resource, prayer, hope. Restoration is for all of us, and we think the name speaks of the potential in each of our communities.

Let’s make sure we use this seminal moment well and make sure we set the temperature for what’s to come next.

Thank you to you all for stepping over the dragons and joining the journey.

Monday – St Paul’s

The Place of Welcome opened at St Paul’s in September 2021. The day begins at 10.30am and finishes at 2pm. Each week there is seated aerobics in the hall at 11am followed by tea and toast at 12.

In the afternoon we usually have a craft or other activity. All the activities are optional, some people pop in to read the paper and have a chat, others stay for the whole day. Many of the ladies that come bring their knitting projects to work on. An access bus brings people to the group just before 11, in time for aerobics, and returns again at 2pm to take people home.

There are currently 12 ladies that use the access bus each week. Around 22 people come to the group each week, they are predominantly older women of Pakistani heritage but also some younger women who enjoy the craft activities along with asylum seekers who are new to the area and a couple of people from our Friday dropin café.

At Christmas the group made Christingles, we lit them in the church as we explained what each part of the Christingle represented. We also wrote prayers on Christmas baubles, which the group enjoyed, to hang up in the church. We have known some of the women who come to this group for many years, they are comfortable sharing some of their problems with us and are keen to receive prayer.

Our Place of Welcome team is made up mainly of people from the church but also includes Mary Vineall from Bolton Abbey and Naseem who has recently joined us.

Tuesday – St Philip’s

Pantry is going well with 25-35 customers each week: gathering for hot drinks and snacks before doing their weekly pantry food shop. We have also offered non-food household items some weeks when there are enough volunteers.

Food stocks are good, but storage and organisation of what we stock needs improving; we are hoping to get extra shelving soon and a display fridge.

Each Tuesday starts with a time of prayer, which is the main weekly worship time for a couple of those that come.

Most of the shoppers have joined the Credit Union. We have plans to increase our fresh fruit and veg offering with some monies donated by a local NHS group.

Generally, we have enough volunteers, but for this to continue to be a place where we connect with members of the community in a meaningful way, we need people to keep prioritising their assistance on Tuesdays.

After the service coffee is served and friends in the community often pop in. We were grateful to receive a filter coffee machine which Clare had acquired for us from an Ark grant.

During the year we have celebrated landmark birthdays for several of our ‘senior citizens’. Two special charity coffee mornings were very well attended: Bradford Hospitals Charity, in July outside in the sun, and Macmillan Cancer Support in September attracted members from the whole parish and many folks from the local community and GHM Churches together.

Other ‘welcome’ events

Haworth Road Methodists organised and led the virtual Women's World Day of Prayer Service via Zoom with contributions from our Parish.

Still in lockdown and within rules of Covid restrictions, the Easter tradition of a service at 6.30am on Heaton Hill was kept by 6 GHMCC members in freezing conditions – unfortunately, the rules didn’t allow them to gather inside for breakfast afterwards! Members of all our congregations also joined in the Climate Change Walk from Baildon to City Hall in the summer.

At Mothers’ Day, the country was still in lockdown which meant for the second year running we were unable to have our usual service. Instead, cards and primroses were able to be distributed to our church community, Wellsprings and others in the local community known to us to be shielding, to show that, although they hadn’t been seen for over a year, they were not forgotten.

Similarly, at the Harvest service, cyclamen plants were distributed to the Wednesday congregation as well as to housebound and shielding members where they were much appreciated.

Weather permitting, the gardening group continued throughout the year with help from members of the community. Spring bulbs planted in the autumn of 2020 provided hope as well as colour and a special effort was made before the wedding in June to make sure the garden looked at its best for the outdoor reception in the grounds. Our cleaning team had also prepared the church to look its best and a special flower arrangement had been made.

Thursday - St Barnabas chair exercise

After being without regular exercise for 2 years, it was quite a relief to be able to start our seated aerobic class again. Luckily, Colleen, our teacher and the hall was available on a Thursday afternoon, so we were able to restart the classes.

We had a few sessions before Christmas and managed to have a Christmas Party and invited people from the village to come and join us. I am pleased to say we have five new members and two more hopefully joining next week. That will take our number up to 16.

The class is very much appreciated by all who attend, so a very big Thank you to all concerned.

We meet every Thursday 2 - 3 p.m.

Thursday - St Martin’s

Despite continuous restrictions throughout 2021 Heaton Hub continued to stay open serving the community through the library and food provision, as part of our Place of Welcome.

During the summer of 2021 we were able to run a weekly food pantry building on our relationships with some local families. The summer also saw us taking a number of our regular Hub families on a day trip to Whitby – it was greatly appreciated and still talked about.

In September 2021 we opened up more widely and for longer hours on a Thursday. We have seen regular engagement of over 20 attendees and between 30-40 individuals engaging with us over Christmas.

We are pleased to be meeting a material need with our pantry, but even more pleased to be creating community. Many people simply drop in for the coffee morning, some people to use the library and some for a coffee, a shop and the library.

We have also developed a core team of volunteers from within the community of shared faith, other faiths and none, and it is a great privilege to walk with them as God's church in their community.

The next step on the journey for us is to introduce more opportunities to meet with Jesus and learn about him. We are pleased to be hosting the Lent Course and looking to begin a ‘Thursday Thought’ allowing for Christian reflection as part of our community space.

Friday – St Paul’s

Over the past 12 months we have served an average of 72 people a week coming for their Friday meal. That’s a lot of jacket potatoes, blocks of cheese, enough hot chocolate to fill a small swimming pool and enough marshmallows to make at least 1 tooth fall out!

Fridays at St Paul’s have continued to journey over the past 12 months and are now into a more settled place to cook, serve and grow relationships with our guests week by week.

Some of these key markers have been:

Having a strong enough relationship with guests to organise a summer coach trip to Whitby in the summer 2021. 35 of us set out for a day at the seaside – everyone came home in one piece!! We welcomed 100 people on Christmas day to come and have a sit-down Christmas dinner

Starting and growing a pantry model on a Friday – meaning people pay £3 and can do a shop with £1 going into credit union if they join the scheme. We have a regular 14 people using this each week.

We have welcomed new regular volunteers and have a greater number of people moving between coming for lunch and then stopping to serve or coming early to make sandwiches.

We have been able to share this story with the wider parish which has in turn added to our team – so we are becoming a Parish wide team.

Getting to know each other better means there is more openness to talking and sharing faith.

We are becoming known as a safe and constant space.

We are having God conversations and praying with people as part of normal conversation and relationships. We are becoming a community where people are finding a sense of belonging and even for a small moment in their week can find a little bit of rest.

With all these changes – we can’t go back to what was. I am excited to see what the future will reveal and how God is going to further work through this provision.

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £63,274, including net expenditure of £26,523 on unrestricted funds, net expenditure of £40,060 on restricted funds and net income of £3,309 on endowment funds, after transfers.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £143,292.

Our churches' financial sustainability is reliant on the voluntary giving and efforts of a small number of members. The PCC therefore aims to maintain general reserves at a level which ensures that six months of core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. For the current year this is estimated to be £75,000. In addition we also have designated reserves of £1,941 for community activities. This reserves policy is reviewed annually.

The PCC recognises that its reserves at 31 December 2022 exceed its target level of reserves significantly. However the PCC is aware that much of the excess will be required given a forecast deficit in 2022 of up to £40,000. This impact, together with the uncertainty regarding the claim against the PCC concerning the St Philips curates house (see Note 14 of the accounts), has led the PCC to believe that holding the current level of reserves is prudent. The PCC is committed to reviewing its medium term financial plans as part of a budget setting process for 2023 and will review its reserves policy in light of this process.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of PCC of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 19 to 30.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Investments

Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

In accordance with s10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011, consecrated and beneficed property is not included in the accounts.

Movable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church's inventory which can be inspected at any reasonable time.

Freehold land and buildings are held in trust either by the PCC or by Leeds Diocese Board of Finance as custodian trustee. Valuation of freehold land and buildings is either market rate or the historical valuation where a market value is not readily determinable. The currently estimated residual value of the properties is not less than their carrying value, and their remaining useful life exceeds 50 years. Any depreciation charge is deemed immaterial. An impairment review is carried out a each year end.

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £5,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Fixtures, fittings and equipment: over 4 years

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally investments. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income unless restrictions have been imposed by the donor. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of PCC of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 19 to 30.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
