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

In 2023, we continued to see growth in the worshipping community on a Sunday morning. We have welcomed families from Nigerian, Malawian and Iranian backgrounds into our community and it has been a real blessing to see the continued growth of diversity in our midst. We have seen people come to faith in Jesus and begin to discover the difference that he makes.

Another wonderful sign of life and growth has been the birth of new babies and GHM is a livelier (and louder!) place for this. We are now grappling with how we can make good provision for the younger in our midst on a Sunday morning.

We continued to meet at St Paul’s and maintained our rhythm of two traditional services, one all-age service and a breakfast church service on the second Sunday of each month. Breakfast church has continued to be a popular service and it has been challenging to feed and fit so many in the building on those mornings!

In the past year we have had multiple teaching series on a variety of topics. We have also had teaching on the Sermon on the Mount, Encounters with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, a series called ‘Proclaim With…’ exploring some of the great statements of faith through the Old and New Testaments and ended the year looking at Discipleship with a series called ‘Follow Me’. All these series have been designed with the intention of helping us grow deeper in our understanding of who God is and how he wants to use us in our lives. Breakfast church having a particular niche, we made the decision to separate it from the main body of teaching and ran a series throughout 2023 exploring the Fruit of the Spirit.

We continued our lunchtime meetings for preachers and leaders before the beginning of each new sermon series, we hope that amongst the variety this has brought some sense of continuity as we explore and grow through opening up God’s word together.

Ben Care

Sunday School

Sunday school lessons have continued consistently to meet on the 1[st] and 3[rd] Sundays of the month.

On average a group of 7 children meet to learn more about Jesus and to have fun.

The Sunday school and Youth leaders have met together twice over the year. The main discussion at these meetings was our concern for children attending church without an adult. We are in the process of speaking to parents and explaining our policy on this matter.

In October we held a fun filled 'Light Party', (this was an alternative to Halloween) showing how Jesus over comes darkness and is the light in our world. We played games, did crafts and ate together.

In November we celebrated the baptism of one of the children in our group.

Some leaders have been involved in the training for ' Bubble Church'. A Sunday service aimed at young families.

We also now have qualified First Aiders among our Sunday school leaders after they successfully completed a day’s training.

Sunday School can only run due to the dedication of the leaders. We are a really small team who would value your prayers and even your help. If you feel you could help, please speak to me or Clare.

We give thanks to God for the children in our church family and for what a blessing they are to all of us.

Sunday Youth

We continue to meet twice a month during the Sunday service. We usually have a range of teenagers from 11 - 16 years old, normally numbering anything from 4 to 11 young people. Since Christmas the numbers of young people have been lower but there are some new faces at church who we are hoping will join us. Some young people who are now in year 11 are attending more sporadically and one member has moved away. We have also had some new members.

We have followed the Sunday service topics which has worked well, especially the ‘Proclaiming with’ series as this gave us a good opportunity to look at different people from the Bible and their faith. We appear to have a good rapport with the young people who attend regularly and are trying to grow in sharing together and learning to pray together.

The challenges of the fluctuating attendance, people arriving late, and the short time spent together continue. We have also been short for group helpers since October when Alastair retired. Joanna has moved over to the youth from the children’s group which is great but ideally we still need one other person, especially when people are away or unwell.

Our hope is that we are able to continue to build relationships with the young people and support them in their faith.

Helen Care

Wednesday Communion

Each Wednesday we continue to celebrate a Parish Communion service at St Barnabas Church attended by church members from across the parish. There is also 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. 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 primarily follow the Church of England’s lectionary to guide our preaching and teaching. However in this last year we also did an extended series looking at the book of Genesis. We are thankful for all who have read, interceded, preached and presided throughout the last year as we’ve explored Holy Scripture together.

Ben Care

Discipleship & Baptisms

We have continued to explore the shape of discipleship at GHM through 2023 and give thanks for new groups which have begun in the last year including the worship team and Farsi group, which are key contexts for small group discipleship. We have explored discipleship together in our Sunday series called ‘Follow me…’ which looked at Jesus’ statements on discipleship as he invited others into life journeying with him.

We held a lent course in February and March on Saturday mornings which was based on the ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ series produced by the Good Book Company. A small group attended but the material was much appreciated and there were good conversations around the tables.

A real highlight of the year was hosting the Al Massira team to do a weekend of training in October. Al Massira is a course designed for introducing Muslims to the key truths of Christianity. As well as a number of attendees from GHM, we also welcomed teams from St John’s, East Bowling and Sunbridge Road churches. The teaching was lively, comprehensive and thought-provoking and it was a good time of fellowship as well as discipleship training.

Baptisms are a key sign of life and growth in our community. In 2023, we baptised one baby and held a thanksgiving for another. In November, during the celebration of Christ the King in the lead up to Advent, we rejoiced in the baptism of seven church members, celebrating all that God has been doing in their lives and the new life, peace and possibility that He gives through Jesus.

Worship Team

2023 was the year live worship started to return to GHM with a new worship group starting to lead worship during our Sunday service.

We have been meeting as a band every other Saturday morning to practice. There have been great joys in this gathering as we have gotten to know each other better and then to start learning how to start leading worship for the wider church community.

We are developing a diverse group of people from a cross-section of ages and nations.

We have been learning new songs, remembering older ones, and even learning a few new instruments for good measure.

As we have been able to lead our wider church families, we have been able to really start thinking about the songs we sing and start to appreciate the way different cultures worship.

GHM worship has certainly become a melting pot of culture, personalities, ability, relationship with Jesus and as such it has been good to gather to pray, study the scripture as well as get stuck into making worship music.

Regardless of our ability to play and lead during the Sunday service – we have all grown in relationship with Jesus, started to find our voices in prayer and committed to regular meetings for discipleship and growth. Bring on 2024…. We're always on the lookout for more musicians to join us and all are welcome.

U:nite Youth

U:nite meets once a month. 8 churches make up the group with around 55 young people aged 11-18 attending. Each church takes responsibility for a monthly meeting which includes games, activities, food and a ‘God Slot’.

For us as a parish, we have had varied success in involving our young people. We did manage to take as many as 16 to one of the 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 2023 we… had Indoor Church Games, Karaoke, St Barnabas Primary School, Northcliffe Woods, Peel Park, Bonfire, Christmas Party

We have a relatively large number of young people of secondary school age in or connected to our congregation. We really need to engage with and disciple our older young people well. Please pray for us to have more space and time to connect with our young people outside of Sunday services.

Chris Chorlton

Discovery Bible Study

Our Discovery Bible Study meets at St Paul’s on a Friday to fit in with Friday drop in; some people have come to St Paul’s to shop and have joined us for a short time afterwards.

We are a small and friendly group of women from various cultural backgrounds, mainly from the UK and different parts of Africa. Our mix of people makes for different perspectives as we read the bible together. 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 and other languages as appropriate.

Recently we have been following up the readings used during the Sunday services and there is usually something that sparks our conversation and gives us food for thought. We have a time to share and pray together for one another, for our families, for our church and for the world; each of us praying in our own language. I think we all find that something from our reading, discussion and prayers helps us with the challenges of the week ahead.

We would love others to join us. We usually meet for about 1-1/2 hours and set the time on Friday that best suits everyone. We take a break for some school holidays, but apart from that and one or two snowy days, we meet every week. Come when you can, you will be very welcome!

Achievements and performance continued Farsi Group

Through 2023 we have run a small bi-weekly discipleship group for Farsi speakers. The group is comprised of people who have been Christians for a number of years, those who are new to the faith and those who are exploring Christianity.

At points communicating complex ideas can be challenging, but we have learned and grown together as we have explored the heart of what it means to be a Christian and follow Jesus. We have grown in talking, praying and praising together. We have also sought to support one another as group members have navigated complex times of transition and the asylum process.

It was a wonderful end to the year to see four members of the group being baptised.

Ben Care

Prayer Walking

In September a small group of us set about prayerfully walking every street in the former Girlington parish. In addition to the obvious benefits of praying for the area, we wanted to open ourselves to hear what our Lord may have to say about the area and about possible future work there. For this reason, we accepted that we would not meet very many people at the time we were walking - 10.30 on a Tuesday morning. Rather we wanted to gain a feel for the streets and open our spiritual eyes and ears.

By the end of the year, we had nearly completed every street for the first time. We had all been surprised to realise what a diverse place Girlington is in terms of housing, affluence and poverty, opportunity and apparent stagnation. Each of us had seen places of which we had previously been completely unaware. We had also gained a better understanding of the local businesses; and we had spent an informative morning praying in the infirmary with the Anglican Chaplain.

We believe that God told us that breakthrough in Girlington is His heart's desire and His promise, but that it will take perseverance and patient work on our part, chipping away bit by bit at the barriers.

At the beginning of February 2024 we completed the first pass of every street in the former parish. At the time of writing (mid-February) we are still seeking clarity about the next steps.

Nigel Bull

Mothers Union

Throughout 2023, we were able to meet on the third Tuesday of every month apart from August. We thank Chris, Ben and Cathy for leading a Holy Communion Service each time we met in church.

We enjoyed a very varied programme beginning with the Wave of Prayer which was led by Mary and involved 10 members. An article about our successful Bring and Share meeting, featured in the Area MU newsletter, Keeping in Touch. From guest speakers we learned about the Camino de Santiago , Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Sikh Religion and Culture and Religious Broadcasting for the BBC . We had singalongs for two meetings: Wartime Favourites and The Ukulele Band. Friends in the community attended some meetings and we also welcomed MU members from Cottingley Branch to the Ukulele Band Concert. We were grateful that our two outings to Cleveleys and Helmsley were subsidised by a generous grant from the Rands Trustees, which enabled us to offer some free places. About half of the participants were from the community and included 10 Muslims, 2 members of Fountains Church and the aerobics group. We enjoyed two meals out: a Fish and Chips Supper at Wetherby Whaler and Christmas Lunch at Baildon Hall. The year ended with a Christmas performance by children from St. Barnabas School.

Additional activities included: three well-attended Coffee Mornings in aid of the St. Barnabas’ School, Christian Aid and Macmillan Cancer Support; birthday cakes with coffee and chat after Wednesday Services; distribution of plants to the congregation at the Wednesday Holy Communion Service and housebound friends in the community at Mothers’ Day and Harvest; collection of produce for the local foodbanks; a cafe and tombola at Heaton Gala; knitting 815 bonnets for the Premature and Neo Natal Unit at BRI, 17 adult lap blankets for Bradford Hospitals Trust; afternoon tea for 40 Friends of Bradford Art Galleries and Museums (FoBAGaM) after their visit to the tapestry, as well as caring for the church garden and cleaning the church. In October we hosted the Area Service followed by refreshments. 43 MU members from 8 branches attended. Generous donations of cakes, toiletries for Bradford Doulas (a charity that supports pregnant mothers before and after birth) and £170.65 to support Away From It All Holidays (AFIA) were made.

We welcomed three new members during the year: Sue Brown, Mabel Macko and Pat Kitchingman. Sadly, three of our long-term members Betty Firth, Chrissie Kirby and Val Mitchell died this year. They had all played a major part in the life of the MU and will be missed. Currently, we have 23 members and look forward to welcoming others. Our thanks go to all for their loyalty, support and voluntary work for the church and community as well as the group.

Seated Aerobics

This year is our 19[th] year as a class run by Coleen. We have 18 people on our register, but of course not all are able to come every week.

We had two visits from our school of class 6 boys and girls who came to join in our exercises with us. They all enjoyed coming and all went home happy with a bag of sweets. In return we were invited to school to their Nativity play. We gave a demonstration at the Gala with the children.

We feel it is good to get together and it is an outreach for our church in the village.

Many thanks for the use of the village hall.

Schools Engagement

When we became a resourcing Church one of the targets we set ourselves was to be more able to take assemblies and increase our visits to schools and also class visits to our churches. Much of this work had stagnated during COVID but 2023 was the year of schools once again!

Coming into our churches. Beckfoot Heaton Primary, St Philip’s Primary, Belle Vue Girls Secondary, Girlington Primary, Iqra Academy, Green Lane Primary, Westbourne, Heaton St Barnabas. We also go into schools to give RE lessons and sometimes to help with activities.

==> picture [197 x 108] intentionally omitted <==

As a team we regularly take assemblies at our church schools. At Christmas and Easter we are invited into a large number of schools. At Christmas 2023 we delivered 10 assemblies to a total of about 3,200 children in our Parish. We also had 5 Christmas church visits from school children of about 160 children in total.

Achievements and performance continued Care Home Services

In 2023, our curate Emma worked hard to gain access to two local care homes to do regular services. These are Well Springs on Leylands Lane and Priority Care Home on Manningham Lane. These are an opportunity to provide spiritual nurture and comfort and also led to praying with some residents at the end of their lives.

After Emma went on placement, I have continued visits at Well Springs where they were keen for services to continue and there have been a good group of attendees who have enjoyed the opportunity to pray and worship together. If anyone would like to accompany me on those visits to encourage and support elderly Christians, please do let me know.

Manningham-on-Sea

Manningham on sea was back with a Bang in 2023. The first time since before the dreaded COVID lockdown.

We decided to combine two community celebrations and creating the first one only (perhaps) Royal Manningham on Sea. We took the opportunity to welcome our New King alongside a free community seaside themed day.

We wrote postcards to the palace, paddled in the Manningham seaside paddling pool, made crowns, rode donkeys, ate sweets and candy floss, made sandcastles, splatted! Rats! slid on the giant slide, ate rice, samosas, cake and bucket loads of tea!

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer May day. Our normal church service was suspended as we all set up the event first then paused for sausage sandwiches followed by outdoors communion and worship before opening the gates to welcome 500+ local community through the grounds to enjoy a fun community centred gathering. Much fun was had by all and we plan to build on this for 2024.

Clare Leighton

Community Events

Over the course of 2023 we have been able to host and facilitate some great community wide events, Some highlights have been:

Summer seaside trips fun day: 3 coaches full of people departed (and returned) for a series of fun days out to Bridlington – all filled with our local friends and community members for a great seaside awayday.

We took a mixture of families, older ladies, and gentlemen with whom GHM has relationships. They were great days out and time to enjoy the bracing sea air and build deeper relationships with each other.

Easter Sunrise service and breakfast: Held on Heaton Hill. On an early Easter morning in 2023 a group of people joined together to celebrate the new hope found in Jesus on Easter morning. We sang and worshipped followed by rolling eggs down the hill and finally retired to Heaton Village Hall for a welcome hot breakfast – a great way to start Easter Sunday.

Carols and Bonfire: In a break from the more traditional bonfire night, we decided to try a community Christmas bonfire and carols building on from last year. On yet another 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, people 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.

Parish Resource Team

Our meetings this year have covered a wide range of issues around the parish. We made many small decisions each meeting but some of the more significant ones were:

Mission Giving

We still give 5% of our income away – but would like to raise it each year. We didn’t feel able this year – but are committed to be aiming for 10% - maybe next year?

Hall Hire

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. As we’ve raised prices we have had a fall in one off users. But we have worked hard to increase our regular bookings.

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. Boilers, insurance, PAT testing, they are all boring but important!

Finance issues!

We have finally got to grips with our new accounting system and now have a far more streamlined way of keeping track of bills.

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.

Miscellaneous

Moving Screen, how to spend generous donations, contracts and pension issues around hiring new staff (that didn't happen!), Gift Aid decisions and finishing the 'manual' method and envelopes (thanks to Nigel Bull!), promotion of Parish Giving Scheme and planning and running a mini-Stewardship campaign.

Giving

We tried to rethink how we promote giving in services and encouraging people to give more. Lots of discussions about our budget as we finally got our finances into a good place we looked more carefully at what our budget says about our values and our mission.

Moving bills from company to company to keep the best deals. Thanks especially to Ann Brown for hours on hold!

Chris Chorlton

Church Wardens

During 2023 we have continued meeting at St Paul’s for our Sunday morning ‘gathered’ service. The service is also live streamed on YouTube. The Church is open on a Monday for our Place of Welcome and on a Friday for our Drop-in Café. There has been no major repair works to the building this year. A couple of roof slates have been replaced to stop leaks in the main body of the church. There has continued to be minor issues with the heating though the year, however they have all been resolvable. The back porch and toilet block are continuing to slowly move away from the main church building, the movement is being monitored.

Unlike last year St Martin's has been very fortunate in having had no major repair to the building. We continue to have our annual services and inspections and our grounds have been well maintained by Bradford Council. Fortunately, despite the increase in utility costs, our regular weekly lettings groups have increased which obviously provides extra income for the Parish. The church is open on a Thursday for Place of Welcome and a Tuesday and Friday for the community library. Bubble Church was launched in January 24 on a Sunday afternoon.

St Barnabas is used on a Wednesday for the parish midweek communion service along with school visits. There have been no major repairs this year.

Springroyd Terrace

7 Springroyd Terrace is the former curate’s house owned by the parish. Rented out for many years, the property had fallen into a state of sever disrepair, including the presence of dry rot throughout the building.

At the end of 2023, work was finally able to begin on the property. When work began, further issues were identified throughout the building which led to a complete refurbishment. The cost of the works were £40,000. The work was completed in December 2023.

The PCC made the decision to sell the property and Dinsdale Estates listed the property for sale in February 2024. There has been a great deal of interest in the house and as I write we have received multiple offers from people interested in purchasing.

Heaton Village Hall

Heaton Village Hall has really lost most of its regular users. Currently the only regular usage is the Council Youth Group and Seated Aerobics. Our committee meetings consisted of management discussions, gardener recommendations and financial accountability. Many thanks to Peter and Margaret Burnley who work so hard to keep this a community resource!

Overview

Hello friends, Welcome to ReStore, we are based across our local churches and run 3 full days a week in Girlington, Heaton and Manningham. Each of our churches has a long history of being rooted in their communities and have been well placed to bring together people from different cultures and faiths for a journey such as this.

Many of the people that currently attend our ReStore sessions find themselves on the edge of their own communities. Money, Employment, Language, Literacy, Circumstance, Wellbeing, The Right to Remain in a safe country, and Cultural heritage all have a part to play. These can often be limiting factors that hinder people to engage in projects like ReStore, but we work hard to take this chaos and seek to see life emerging.

We are interested in the whole person and ReStore being part of the local church and running from a place of worship, we are seeking to offer a bigger hope than we can comprehend of a fuller and better life than we can ever humanly seek to know.

Much of the work we do seems to always have food and shared meals at the heart of it. We run weekly community food pantries which allows people to access low-cost food and feed the family at home. We run community drop in meals. We help sign post people to wider provision, often over a cup of coffee, hot chocolate and of course cake! We seek to always offer a warm welcome and generous invitation to join in.

We want people to find their voice and know how valuable they are. As people come and join in – the joy is to see people become friends and start to flourish, to take ownership and speak into how we develop and grow.

Life can go at such a pace that slowing down and really hearing something authentic about each of us is a rare gift.

Through ReStore: we aim to be a place where all people are welcome, a place where we hold out hope for restoration in life, a place where people can start to find a voice within their community.

Some of our bigger questions over the past 12 months have focused on how we become sustainable in the long run and ideally have less need to attract a higher level of grant funding (this is the dream!) but in the moment the more pressing question has been about how we attract longer term funding to grow what we are doing and able to develop.

The other poignant question has been about - why are we here and do what we do! How do we slow down, breathe deep and share well with the people who come to ReStore sessions? We don’t want to be a hit and run problem solver – we want to linger in a relationship with each other and journey restoration with each other.

As we journey into 2024 we are looking at our operating structures and want to ensure we have a healthy accountable oversight with a good model of voices into how we develop over the coming 12 months.

Monday Place of Welcome

Our Monday Place of Welcome has continued to grow over 2023 with an average of 45 people attending each week. The majority of people attending are women of Pakistani heritage who live in Manningham, Girlington and Heaton along with a growing number of British and Nigerian people who use the community pantry and stay for a drink and toast.

The most popular activity on a Monday is seated aerobics with around 25 people choosing to take part each week and then staying around for conversation and tea/toast. The majority of new people who attend the group come to us to try seated aerobics, some of been referred through their GP or Hale while others have been told about the group through friends.

This year we have finished our Roots and Routes heritage story book. It has been a big project over the last year involving lots of cooking, eating and collecting recipes and stories. We have been cooking and eating many things from vegetarian haggis to Congolese fish recipes. It has been a good opportunity for people to get to know each other, learn about other cultures and share stories together. It has been a privilege to sit with a smaller group of people to interview them for the book, listen to their story and memories that food brings. The book was printed in time for Christmas with each person featured in the book receiving a free copy. We have had lots of positive feedback about how beautiful the stories, illustrations and photographs are, the book is just a snapshot of many weeks of sharing recipes, food and stories across our projects. We are looking forward to a book launch event in April 2024. We have continued to cook on the first Monday of each month to encourage people to take ownership and build confidence.

A sense of community has continued to grow between the various groups of people who attend on a Monday. We enjoyed a trip to Bridlington together in the summer and a bring and share Christmas party at the end of the year. We have celebrated Latifa’s 80[th] birthday and Lisa’s 1[st] birthday!

Our volunteer team has changed over this year, we have lost Shaheen, who has moved to Leeds, however, Sammi, who attends the group, has begun to volunteer with us on both a Monday and a Friday.

It has been a privilege to walk alongside people this year as they share the ups and downs of their lives with us. There have been opportunities to listen, support and pray for people as well as celebrating family marriages and birthdays together. We are looking forward to starting a Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing course with a small number of women from the group over the next year, we hope this will build and deepen some good relationships that have been forming.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023

Achievements and performance continued ReStore: Heaton

This year marked five years of ReStore: Heaton at St. Martins! We had a settled year of library days (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) and a good year of Thursday Café and Pantry, with new people coming most weeks. Some of our regulars are looking out for their friends and neighbours and bringing them along, which is real blessing. We have seen a particular increase in some of our more elderly locals coming, for company as well as shopping. The year saw the return of our popular family pancake day with races in February.

==> picture [186 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

A big encouragement in the year came in March when we received an award from the council and Mayor for our work in the community. It was a special evening. We were also encouraged in March by a well-attended community ‘bring and share’ lunch as part of the ReStore recipe book project.

==> picture [156 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [269 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

One or two volunteers have left this year but others have joined and we are now a committed team from church and community. In July we enjoyed a volunteer BBQ – a chance to relax together. A highlight at the end of the year was our Community Carols event which brought volunteers, church and community together very naturally to celebrate Christmas.

We are thankful for all that God is doing in Heaton and how the activities of ReStore: Heaton continue to offer a safe and inviting place to gather.

St Paul’s Friday

The past 12 months of drop In at St Pauls is feeling like it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster all round.

We found ourselves with an ever-increasing number of people turning up each week for food, regularly finding ourselves serving 85/90 people a mixture of sandwiches, hot food and pudding items – all alongside an increasing number of people turning up to do a Pantry food shop.

The result was a team of people feeling more and more pressured and left questioning why are we are doing what we do and the implications of these decisions.

Perhaps we had become a victim of our own success! Serving a good hearty meal with enough for a snack later on alongside the necessity to cycle people through quite quickly, to ease pressure on the space meant we were losing the ability to pause and build relationship with each other.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023

Achievements and performance continued St Paul’s Friday continued

How are we ever going to speak truth and honesty with our guests if we can never raise our heads and have more than a 2 min conversation at a time? Our desire has been to slow down this process and reset a place with fewer people needing to come through and giving the team more potential to chew the fat of the week with those dining. This all cumulated with the decision to stop take away meals and look to invite people to come eat but also rest a while, ponder life and know we want to be able to show a different potential of living – one where food projects are not needed to feed hungry people – but realising the power of sharing a meal together and understanding community.

Ask us about how this has gone next year, we did the thinking in 2023 and implementing from 2024!!!

This process hasn’t been a lost one or negative at all:

Overall this year has been full of joy, sadness, grief, frustration, laughter and lament, all of which are life essential and it has been a privilege to stand with the team as we faced the easy and the hard together over 2023.

Safeguarding

The Parish of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham promote a 'Safer Church' which is outlined in the 'House of Bishops Safeguarding Policy'.

As a church we have signed up to the 'Safeguarding Dashboard' which enables us to monitor all safeguarding requirements.

We have completed 62% of the requirements with some action plans in place.

As the Parish Safeguarding Officer, I am given the opportunity to bring any matters arising to each PCC meeting.

The safeguarding policy was reviewed in January 2024. The PCC agreed a few alterations to the wording and the policy was passed with all in favour.

Some safeguarding training is still to be completed by PCC members. All children/youth leader training is up to date.

As Parish Safeguarding Officer, I have completed training on modern slavery and safeguarding.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and I thank you for your support.

Financial review

PCC of Girlington, Heaton and Manningham

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £77,370.

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, excluding the diocese share, could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. For the current year this is estimated to be £50,000. This reserves policy is reviewed annually.

The PCC recognises that its reserves at 31 December 2023 exceed its target level of reserves. The PCC is forecasting that its unrestricted reserves will increase in 2024, largely due to the expected receipt of the sale proceeds of Spring Royd. Given this the PCC plans to develop financial plans in 2024 that incorporates this receipt and allows for increased investment in parish mission. As a result the PCC will also be reviewing its reserves policy in light of this process.

Approved by the board of trustees on 28/4/2024

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2023

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, if 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

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2023

1 Accounting policies continued

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 2023 as £339, 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.
