Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022

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 on 21 June 2018.

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:

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.

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.

The PCC is part of the Diocese of Leeds, within the Church of England and it is a member of the Inner Bradford Deanery. It is also known under the following titles:

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:

Our Gathered Life

Sunday Services

We have seen a small growth in attendance at our Sunday services and have been delighted to welcome those who have decided to worship as part of our community. We are also pleased that this recent season has seen a return to full Communion for all who wish to partake.

We continued our rhythm of two traditional services, one all-age service and a breakfast church service on the second Sunday of each month. We also continue to try and remember the international heritage of those who choose to worship with us, and bring a particular focus to this once a month in various ways. We know that within this pattern of services that not all services appeal to everyone. However, we hope that amongst what we have chosen to offer that everyone can find one or two services that fit their natural preference, while growing in faith and community by joining with others who are more comfortable in worshiping God in different styles.

Across this variety of services, we have been following various themes and teaching series. In 2022 we started lunchtime meetings for preachers and leaders before the beginning of each new sermon series, we hope that amongst the variety this brings some sense of continuity as we explore and grow through opening up God’s word together.

Daniel Furlong & Revd. Ben Care

Prayer & Praise

Prayer and Praise is a new evening service held once a month at St Philips which began in March 2022. It is a combination of prayer, live worship led by Clare and Sharon and Bible study. Prayer and Praise is deliberately low key and aims to give people space for personal reflection and growth in God’s word. We have a small but consistent group of attendees and it is hoped that this service will continue to grow in coming months.

Revd. Ben Care

Sunday School

Sunday school meets on the 1[st] and 3[rd] Sundays of each month. It all runs extremely smoothly due to the dedication of all the leaders. We average 7 children in our group. They are becoming more confident in sharing their thoughts and at bringing them to God through prayer and fun. It is a real privilege to be part of this.

As leaders we have met to encourage each other and discuss how things are going and in what ways things can be improved, e.g. a smoother and less disrupted return into the church service for communion, a more up to date name and the introducing of singing to our worship.

This is an ideal opportunity to ask all our church family to keep the children and leaders in their prayers and to thank all who support the children in their relationship with Jesus.

Youth Group

The youth group has been meeting twice a month on Sunday mornings for just over a year. During that time the group has started getting to know each other more, become more confident discussing topics together and reflecting on scripture. We have been following the same Bible readings as the main service which lends a consistency with the rest of the church and the other services during the month. The planning meetings which have started before a new sermon series has been a helpful space to plan and look ahead at what we will be covering.

There is an average of 8 young people each meeting, but 18 on our list! Some of the older teenagers are reaching the stage where they will start staying in the main service. We have also welcomed some young people who are new to the UK and said farewell to one other member as she moved away.

The issues that our young people face are very challenging; regularly facing racism, bullying and anti-Christian feeling, particularly at school. There are no Christian Unions at school, so the Sunday services are an important place for them to be together and be encouraged and supported.

There is a team of four volunteers, Alastair, Heather, Zarine and Helen which gives the young people some variety but a good level of consistency and we are getting to know the young people. We are aware that this team does not reflect the diversity of the group and would like to look at addressing this.

The young people have also helped run the Juicy services and at the last meeting it was such a blessing to realise how many children and young people we have and how key they are to the wider church. We would love to see each person moving forward in their faith and being discipled, however this would require a more regular meeting with more time, perhaps a weekly evening group, but this is dependent on more volunteers.

Helen Care

U:Nite/Youth report

U:nite continues to meet once a month. 8 churches make up the group with around 40 young people age 11-18 attending. Each church takes responsibility for a monthly meeting which include games, activities, food and a ‘God Slot’.

For us as a parish, we have had varied success in involving our young people. We manage to take 6-8 to most of the monthly events, but this takes significant effort to encourage and then transport them to and from the venue whilst abiding as safely as possible to safeguarding guidelines.

In 2022 we managed to have Pancakes at Fountains church, Games in Northcliffe park and St Barnabas Village Hall. Nerf battles at St Paul's as well as Litter Picking in Undercliffe. Highlights were the Night treasure hunt in Bowling and of course Yorkshire Camps.

We are in the amazing position of having a relatively large number of young people of secondary school age in our congregation. There is an ongoing conversation that more provision is probably needed to engage with and disciple our older young people well. Please pray for us as we seek a way forward with this.

We had sporadic youth meetings as a Parish during the year. Our youth led us in two Sunday services, one when we recreated the story of the 10 Lepers and another Exploring Freedom in Christ - including putting ourselves in stocks and chains so we could fully experience freedom!

Achievements and performance continued Discovery Bible Study

This is one of the groups which began on WhatsApp at lockdown in 2020. We now meet at St Paul’s, fitting in with the Friday drop-in. We take a break for some school holidays, but apart from that and one or two snowy days, have met every week. At the moment we are a group of up to 8 (but more often 5) women, including Denise Poole and/or myself and some from various African backgrounds. We would love others to join, or perhaps find out a bit more and then set up a small group for themselves.

We follow in an informal way the Discovery Bible Study pattern (you can find this at https://www.dbsguide.org/), and also usually include some reading and/or translation in Swahili (other languages could of course be used if appropriate to new members). Recently we have been following up the readings used during the Sunday services. 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.

Heather Grinter

Discipleship

Our desire as a parish continues to be that we might nurture a culture of discipleship. In the last year continued to grapple with the question of how we can create effective and sustainable structures that allow people from so many backgrounds (church and cultural) to grow in their discipleship.

We are rejoicing in seeing people grow in faith. A real highlight of the last year was the baptism and confirmation of eight church members from British, Iranian, Afghan and Nigerian backgrounds. We held sessions in preparation and it was a real privilege to hear stories of how Jesus had led them to this moment of commitment and explore together what it means to follow Jesus. This culminated in a wonderful morning of celebration on 11 September 2022 with Bishop Toby.

During Lent and Advent we held short courses giving space and time for reflection and preparation as we mark these seasons. They have given the opportunity to build relationships with one another around God’s word and grow in faith as disciples of Christ. Those who have attended have appreciated the opportunity to gather and there have been some really powerful moments as people have shared their thoughts and experiences with one another.

Revd. Ben Care

Baptisms, Ordination & Celebrations

There are few things more precious and joyful in the life of the Church than the gift of celebrating Baptisms together. In September 2022 we celebrated the baptism of five members of our Church family, rejoicing with them in all God had done and is doing in their lives. It was a real privilege to hear their stories and witness them becoming a new creation in Christ!

In the same service, we also celebrated Confirmations with the Bishop of Bradford. Celebration after celebration! Three of those who were baptised were confirmed in the same service, being joined by four other members of our Church family - a total of seven confirmations! Bishop Toby reminded us of the powerful reality that we are known by God by name, as he commented on the names of each who were confirmed.

This year also saw my joining in with the life and ministry of this parish. On Saturday 2 July, I was ordained deacon at Wakefield Cathedral, and began my ministry the next day, having been warmly welcomed at the Sunday service. This was a great weekend of celebration, marked with friends, fellowship and lots of food! I remain grateful for the way in which I have been welcomed into this Church family and look forward to many celebrations to come!

The Week Around The Parish

“ 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.”

These have been great sentiments and ideals to hold to through the past 12 months. Who would have thought that emerging from lock down would then mean a cost-of-living crisis. More people struggling to make ends meet, more people struggling with heating homes, more people dealing with isolation…. The list can go on and on.

Through the week we have had our door open to welcome people into safe and mostly warm spaces. The gift for us has been the ability to speak truth and goodness to our guests, to offer a cup of tea, piece of cake, hot meals, pantry shops, and community activities fill the space. The opportunity to build relationships with our neighbours, to hear each other’s stories, struggles, celebrations has been a massive privilege for the teams in each space.

The challenge has also been very real, how do we really help people, why cant we fix things for people, grieving loss and seemingly impossible situations. In each place we have seen the team growing and people moving from coming to see what is happening to somewhere in the chaos moving to putting on an apron and volunteering – long may this continue!

We currently have 263 people on our pantry roll and on average have been seeing 80+ people coming for a shop.

We have given out over 4,000 hot meals and more than a swimming pool worth of hot chocolate!!! In all of these kind and generous intentions – let’s not forget where our eyes are fixed…the hope for change and restoration is in Jesus alone. He is the reason we exist and open the doors in the first place.

We are trying to always evaluate where and why we open, how we don’t become stuck in a tradition and no purpose and my real great wish is to report that warm spaces and pantries aren’t needed this time next year. Thank you team for all you have contributed and continue to contribute, we would be nothing without your care and attention.

Excited to see where God is inviting us to be over the next 12 months.

Monday – St Paul’s Place of Welcome

Over the last year our numbers have doubled and we now see around 40 people attending each week. These are mostly new people that haven’t attended our project before or are new to the church. Around 9 people use the access bus to come to the group. The majority of people attending are women of Pakistani heritage who live in Manningham, Girlington and Heaton, five people attend from outside our parish as they have been invited by a friend.

A big draw for people is the seated aerobics with over 25 people choosing to take part each week and then staying around for conversation and tea/toast. In January we began work on a piece of community art called ‘Gathered’. Each person worked on their own gathered fabric circle and then we assembled them all together to make the piece of art. It’s now hanging on the wall in the hall and people are enjoying seeing their artwork displayed. We made pancakes for Pancake Day and had conversations about lent and fasting. The cooking has continued over the year as we began working on a heritage project about recipes in October. Recipes and stores will be collected and gathered to produce a book of stories in 2023.

Monday – St Paul’s Place of Welcome continued

This year we opened a Monday community pantry. During the summer funding allowed the pantry to be well stocked with extras such as milk, cheese and meat. The pantry was very popular but deliveries from Tesco were very unreliable. It was difficult to run a busy pantry alongside aerobics (both need to run in the hall). A busy pantry was unsustainable with the space and number of volunteers we had and so we decided to stop the Tesco delivery and just stock dry/tinned goods. This has worked in reducing the number of shoppers making the pantry much more manageable. We were then able to develop a ‘story circle’ in the church space. Each week we listened to someone’s story and then asked questions. They have been really good times of getting to know each other with a mixture of people sharing ‘their story’. People have opened up and shared sometimes difficult stories which has led to others sharing their stories too. It has been a good way to get to know new people. The stories have led to good discussions or questions such as should women get married? Or are you born into a faith or do you choose your faith? Our volunteer team has grown this year to include Emma, Liz from Bolton Abbey, and Shaheen who attended our Scones and Samosas group before lockdown.

Tuesday – St Philip’s Pantry

Pantry in 2022 at St Philip’s went well with 25-30 customers each week: gathering for hot drinks and snacks with most also doing their weekly pantry food shop.

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

Food stock levels are good, but storage and organisation of what we stock needs improving; we now have good shelving and a display fridge. We have seen a decrease in our fresh fruit and veg supply from Store House and are trying to buy in some basics to improve this part of the pantry offering. Most of the shoppers have joined the Credit Union.

We have a good core team of volunteers and a decent number of occasional volunteers. Table top discussions are prioritised, but language barriers continue to make it hard to connect many of those that come. This year we have had two projects for people to get involved with; the painting of the large ‘fire’ puppet [with Cecil Arts] and collecting food/recipe stories for the recipe book [with Leap Heritage].

Alastair Bavington & Sue Leighton

Wednesday – St Barnabas Communion

Each Wednesday we celebrate a midweek Parish Communion service at St Barnabas Church, with the option for people who find themselves unable to attend in person, to phone-in and listen to the service.

The format of this service is a fairly traditional robed service of Holy Communion with hymns. We are grateful to Ian Baxter for joining us on the first Wednesday of each month to lead congregational worship from the organ. On other weeks, we use the screen and online hymns to facilitate our worship. Most commonly, we follow the Church of England’s lectionary to guide our preaching and teaching and are thankful for all who have read, interceded, preached and presided throughout the last year as we’ve explored Holy Scripture together.

This year has seen some small growth in numbers and we have been glad to see more people joining us in this simple act of worship. We trust that as we draw near to God, God draws near to us through His Word and at His Table.

Thursday - St Martin’s Heaton Hub

The Thursday Place of Welcome and Food Pantry have continued to grow and develop throughout 2022. There is a steady group of around 10 community and church volunteers to run the café, library and pantry. Each week one or two new local residents join us, and we have a core group of shoppers and visitors for the under 5s story time. The team of volunteers work well together, and we have been trying different ways of bringing prayer and reflection to the start of the day. The Hub has partnered with ‘JU:MP’ this year (opportunities for physical activities for local children) and also Cecil Arts which has provided a therapeutic focus for the adults in the community. The library has continued to work closely with BHPS with regular class visits. Highlights have been some of our community events, such as the Jubilee Day in June and the Whitby trip in August. Many visitors remark on the warm welcome they receive and we look to God to discern how we continue to serve and minister to Heaton in 2023.

Thursday – Seated Aerobics

The seated aerobics class continues to take place every Thursday afternoon. We all really enjoy it and feel sure we benefit from the exercising and laughter and chat. We have an excellent tutor in Colleen who explains why we do certain exercises and how we benefit from them.

We are starting a new venture this week when half a class of eight year olds from St. Barnabas School are joining us to join in with fun exercises and in two weeks the other children from the class come. I am sure it will be good fun for them and us!

Again many thanks for the use of our Village Hall. It is very much appreciated.

Friday

Fridays remains a busy lunchtime with an average of 70 people a week coming for our now infamous Hot chocolate and cream!! Followed by a selection of sandwiches and hot meal options.

We continue to build some strong relationships with our guests and friends – meaning we all know each other’s stories that bit better.

We have seen growth in numbers accessing other weekday sessions in addition to a small number of people asking deeper questions of faith and belonging, from this we have seen an increase in engagement with Sunday services and the wider GHM church community. (Breakfast church is still the biggest draw!)

The pantry continues to grow, this is now inline with the other pantry costs - £5 per shop with the option of credit union too. We have had a regular 15-20 people access 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.

Friday continued

We are serving to a community of people who live quite chaotic and fractured lives… never quite knowing where the next meal, warm, safe space is coming from. There has been moments of sadness and grief this past year as news reached us of 2 deaths amongst the community 9 counteracted with the news into 2023 that one person wasn’t dead and came back!!!

The team has felt quite stable and strong but has been rocked by the longer-term illness of some of the longstanding team members.

Things to give thanks for are:

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.

Achievements and performance continued Parish Teams

This is an opportunity to say a massive, big thank you for all members off the three parish teams. We reformed these teams through COVID and lockdown and all three teams have been so instrumental in reforming who we are and what we are currently doing as the Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham.

As we have developed and emerged out of lockdown – the roles of the outreach and ministry teams have gotten to the point of having to redefine how we operate and add the best possible value to our direction and capacity. For this reason we have paused the running of the teams and looking to the best structure moving forward….

This is not goodbye to parish teams: we need them and you! However, it is an opportunity to pause and think about how we need to look in the future – watch this space – but for now, again thank you for your hard work and love for the work of the Parish.

Community Church Events

Over the course of 2022 we have been able to host and facilitate some great community wide events. Some highlights have been:

Community fun day , held at St Martins to celebrate the jubilee year, we have a great Thursday full of the usual fun, library, pantry, coffee and cake during the morning followed by a curry lunch, more cake, games and sport, face painting – even a visit from Bradford City Bantam! A great time had by all, well visited by upper Heaton community, local councillors and even the mayor.

Jubilee celebration joint art project: Joint project with Cecil Green Arts. During the summer months all four community spaces united around the table to create four figures created from paper mâché and hand decorated fabric. The sessions were facilitated by the team at Cecil Green Arts. Each figure turned out a little different but united. The fabric in place reflected a different season and personality.

The paper mâché and decoration – kept us all quiet and focused on the task at hand.

Easter Sunrise Service and Breakfast: Held on Heaton Hill. On an early Easter morning 2022 a group of people joined together to celebrate the new hope found in Jesus on Easter morning. We sang and worshiped followed by rolling eggs down the hill and finally retiring to Heaton Village Hall for a welcome hot breakfast – a great way to start a Sunday.

Carols and Bonfire: In a break from the more traditional bonfire night, we decided to try a community Christmas bonfire and carols (with traditional Brass band). On a rather wet December evening we met to drink hot chocolate, eat mince pies, gather around the fire, and sing some carols. The rain did not dampen our enthusiasm and when we opened the door, please came to worship with us. We were led in our singing by the City of Bradford Brass Band and listened to a great reminder of the reason for the season. This may become a new tradition for us.

Christmas: We celebrated Christmas Day as a larger group of church family and friends. We were able to invite people across the different projects to come and share a feast with us.

Here’s to what the next 12 months has for us! I’m excited to see!

Parish Resource Team

Our meetings this year have covered a wide range of issues around the parish. We talked about:

Mission Giving

We still give 5% or our income away – but would like to raise it each year. Our Hall hiring arrangements have been an issue particularly with the rise in prices. We want to be honourable and fair to the community but also manage to stay open.

Springroyd Terrace

This is a property that St Philip’s has had left to it in trust many years ago. This year it has become extremely problematic. There is a dry rot issue that we are liable for. However the Diocese has misplaced the deeds, the Letting agent has stopped representing us and the tenant has stopped letting contractors in the house. We have had no rent most of this year and the costs are spiralling. We have instructed our solicitors to deal with this.

There are some financial implications as we work through the legal route to repair and restore the house to a satisfactory level. The total costs are unknown at present so from the 2022 accounts and into 2023 you will see that we have reserved a liability amount set aside to cover the costs as we know them to be at the moment.

Miscellaneous repairs and Annual Checks

Much time is spent fixing small things – prioritising what we can spend more on and how to complete tasks in the most cost effective and time efficient way.

Curate House

There were a number of legal and practical issues that needed dealing with as we transferred the St Paul’s vicarage back to the Diocese so that a curate could move in this year. Apart from a few teething issues it was a success. The Diocese were very helpful and supportive.

Finance issues

Clearly a lot of our time was spent on money and how little of it we have! Many thanks to Clare Leighton and Ann Brown who this year have really gone above the call of duty to ensure that our finances make sense!

Legalities

It is not always clear what we are covered for in terms of insurance and copyright issues. As well as risk assessments etc we do our best to ensure that we comply with the latest regulations.

Aerial on St Barnabas

We were approached by Bradford Asian Radio to put a radio mast on St Barnabas Church. The legal and financial issues were discussed and the work was done. http://www.bradfordasianradio.co.uk/ is a secular station that particularly helps housebound members of the Asian community to know about what is happening in Bradford in their own language.

Energy efficiency across the parish

This has been a complicated year for energy. Heating across the churches has been problematic. One week in the first part of 2022 3 of our 4 churches were not working and in need of servicing! Clearly there has been a lot of time put into getting the best deals for our energy as contracts come to an end.

Fabric/Wardens Report

St Barnabas

The fabric of the church is in reasonable condition at the moment. Although heavy storms and high winds, earlier in the summer resulted in a couple of leaks into the Church, the roof/guttering contractors sorted that out, fortunately without too much damage. The plaster has been falling from the north aisle and nave walls is increasing and unsightly. Every so often a clean and tidy up is necessary.

The floor where the pews were removed was finally sanded and varnished in April and made such a warm and welcoming difference to the back of Church, which is used weekly after Holy Communion for refreshments.

The organ, although in good condition following the repair of the electrics, was in need of some sort of maintenance. We were able to contact John & Peter Barnes regarding the organ and the humidifier. The humidifier was in need of maintenance as it was likely to contain Legionnaires’ bacteria. It was repaired and reinstalled in August of 2022. The organ itself needs work doing and tuning but unfortunately John Barnes, who normally would have done it, has been ill and in hospital. He is now recovering so, hopefully, the necessary work will be completed as soon as possible. We are fortunate in having Ian Baxter play the organ at the 1[st ] Wednesday of every month at our Holy Eucharist Service.

The toilet facilities were refreshed by the grandson of one of our members of St Barnabas during the summer of 2022. It had a fresh coat of paint and a new cupboard built and put in place. The finishing touch was washable linoleum on the floor. The flush mechanism on the toilet was not working properly but a plumber dealt with it and it works very well and even the awful noise has disappeared!! This was done in time for the concert by Chordiality.

I would like to thank all the volunteers who so willingly give of their time, whenever required. The Church needs cleaning on a regular basis and this small band of ladies are no longer able to do the full clean, as they have been doing. It is hoped that we may be able to employ the cleaners, who do the Village hall to come across on a monthly basis and do the heavy work, whilst the ladies are doing the light dusting.

Nora Whitham MBE, Church Warden

The 10.30am Holy Eucharist Service at St. Barnabas’ each Wednesday continues to flourish. Average attendance is about 25 but sometimes it is nearer 30. Members from all four churches in the GHM Parish attend regularly along with members of St. Barnabas’ who had attended the Wednesday Service pre-pandemic. The Phone-in facility is used each week by members who are housebound and others who cannot be there in person. Ian Baxter from St. Luke’s Church at Eccleshill, plays the organ to accompany the singing on the first Wednesday each month. Members of the congregation participate in the sound system, readings, prayers and distribution of the wine. Coffee and chat after the service is popular and birthdays are celebrated with a special cake. Friends and neighbours in the community are always invited.

For Mothering Sunday, plants were distributed to members of the congregation, electoral roll members who are now housebound or shielding and to friends in the community known to be ill, alone or housebound. Similarly, at Harvest time, plants were distributed but donations of produce were also made to take to two foodbanks and the community pantries in the parish.

During the year two well-attended Coffee Mornings were held to support the work of Christian Aid and the Disasters Emergency Committee Appeal for Ukraine.

The church is also used on the third Tuesday afternoon each month for a Holy Communion service before the Mothers’ Union meeting. These meetings are always open to husbands and members of the community. The St. Barnabas’ MU is the only group in the Inner City Deanery and it continues to thrive with 23 members and a waiting list of 3 more ladies. Members of the Mothers’ Union willingly take on much of the maintenance of the church such as cleaning and gardening as well as telephoning and visiting the housebound. They also play a large part in the Wednesday Service followed by the coffee and chat which is important for Places of Welcome.

Fabric/Wardens Report continued

St Martin’s

In January 2022 we had major repair to our North and South flat roofs at the East End of Church which was one of the important issues mentioned in our latest quinquennial report.

We do know that churches are often in need of constant maintenance and 2022 was definitely one of those years! Following the major roof repair and after a long spell of heavy rain and winds, we had flooding in the library which took a few weeks for the carpets and tiles to dry out and consequently more repair work. At the same time we had a minor repair to the Narthex roof.

Following spells of damp weather, we had been struggling to open the community room door for some time and the door frames had started rotting. For this reason, the door was replaced in the summer of 2022. Not long after this, some of the tiles in the community room collapsed which meant another major repair.

On the plus side, a member of our places of welcome team brought along a group of volunteers who spent a few hours cutting back the shrubs and clearing the borders in the church grounds. We were extremely grateful for all their hard work!

Ann Brown and Jeff Barrett, Church Wardens

St Paul’s

During 2022 we continued to meet at St Paul’s for our Sunday morning ‘gathered’ service. The service is also livestreamed on YouTube. The Church is open Monday’s for our Place of Welcome and on Fridays for our Drop-in Café. There has been no major repair works to the church this year. There continues to be a number of minor leaks in the back porch, they don’t seems to be getting any worse and to resolve would involve major roof work. The gutters have been cleaned this year which also included rodding the drainage channels in the spire to avoid the leaks we had in 2021. There have been minor issues with the heating throughout the year which have been resolved by Byfield heating. There was some vandalism to the story circle in the church garden along with reports of anti-social behaviour around the benches near the side gate of the church. The benches were removed to avoid them being a gathering place and were re-positioned in the larger church garden.

Michelle Moyle, Church Warden

St Philips

Positives: There have been no new building problems that have come to light this year. The previously unreliable heating system for the main church building seems to be working well after a further visit of the heating engineers in the autumn.

The mouse problem affecting the pantry food stores seems to have finally been resolved, with mouse-proof storage solutions and some humane mouse poison.

Tessa Wainwright and Greener Girlington have continued to use the church for storage of their gardening equipment and have also helped to maintain the church grounds.

The building worked well as a venue to host Inn Churches this winter, although this was mainly a success because of all the people that organised and volunteered the week.

The weekly pantry has meant the building is being used regularly, and generally the upkeep is acceptable. Thanks are due to those that help with the cleaning.

Fabric/Wardens Report continued

St Philips continued

Negatives: We still do not have an updated certificate of electrical compliance for our insurance policy. Several electrical firms have been approached and some have been to do inspections, but so far only one has give a quote for work to bring the building in line with current regulations, and this was thought to be unreasonably high. This quotation has now expired, and we need to find at least one more firm willing to do an assessment.

The IT refurbishment charity, Solidaritech, have ended their lease of the upstairs room and there is now no internet at St Philips, which was being paid for by them. There is another charitable sector client interested in using this space, and terms of use are being drawn up.

Living Waters church have not returned to worshipping in St Philips, and there is quite a lot of their equipment stored in the vestry.

There are quite a few small internal decoration jobs that need attention. As in most buildings of this design, the paintwork and plaster are subject to cracking and peeling.

Alastair Bavington, Church Warden

St Barnabas Village Hall

At the moment we have some regular bookings each week for the Hall. Homeschool Network on a Wednesday morning. Seated Aerobics on a Thursday afternoon. Youth Group on a Friday evening. JU:MP - BYDP meet on Saturday morning. The Labour Party hold their meetings on some Thursday evenings. Parties etc. are continuing spasmodically.

On the whole, the building is in good repair and in the gardens, the hedges and bushes have been trimmed and the grounds been weed killed in prepared for Spring. One thing that we still have problems with are the boys/men who congregate in the door way and leave all their rubbish about and in the bushes.

Margaret Burnley

Safeguarding

As a parish we promote a 'Safer Church' which is outlined in the House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy and Practise guidance.

As a church we have signed up to the safeguarding dashboard which enables us to monitor all safeguarding requirements. We have completed 50% of the requirements with some action plans in place. Our aim is for 100% completion.

As the parish safeguarding officer, I am given the opportunity to bring any matters arising to each PCC meeting.

All the required DBS' have been completed with four being acquired this year.

The safeguarding policy is updated annually and was passed by the PCC in January 2023.

Some PCC and youth leaders have completed their safeguarding training. Others are being encouraged to complete theirs asap.

Youth leaders have been invited to an event called TEND which is being run by the Diocese of Leeds children, young people and family team. This looks an ideal opportunity for leaders to get together and share ideas.

The Parish of GHM perseveres to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everybody and understands that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022

Financial review

The net expenditure for the year was £103,967, including net expenditure of £78,476 on unrestricted funds, net expenditure of £23,119 on restricted funds and net expenditure of £2,372 on endowment funds, after transfers.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £100,514.

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 £553 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. However the PCC is aware that much of the excess will be required given a forecast deficit in 2023 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.

Approved by the board of trustees on 23/5/2023

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2022

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.

PCC of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies continued

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.

Six endowments are invested in the CCLA CBF Investment Fund with Leeds Diocesan Board of Finance as custodian trustee. Three of the endowments are Income Shares, yielding dividend payments to the PCC. The other three are Accumulation Shares which will not yield income until 2048; the PCC drew capital from them in 1988 and is required to leave them untouched for 60 years whilst the capital value is restored.

Trust Fund 172 Manningham - Parkinson, valued at 31 December 2022 as £310, is held by the Diocese of Leeds for specific building maintenance at the former St Luke's Church, Victor Road; a purpose which the PCC cannot fulfil. The investment is not included in these accounts.
