Aim and Purposes
St Wilfrid’s PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Pete Watson, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to discover and learn about the love of God by reaching into the community through evangelism and Christian service, and by ensuring our church community is a welcoming place for all The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge of, and trust in, Jesus.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
-
Missionary and outreach work.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St Wilfrid and the Parish Hall, and also the access lane, paths and the car park
Achievements and Performance
Worship and Prayer
In non-pandemic times St Wilfrid’s offers a varied menu of worship opportunities throughout the week that enable people of all ages to connect with the church community whether they are regular or only occasional attendees
We have tried hard to continue with this varied menu during 2020 Worship in the church building ceased from mid-March to mid-July but starting on 29th March we have had YouTube online worship every Sunday at 10 30am These services soon followed the previous regular monthly pattern of Morning Prayer on the first Sunday of the month, Family Communion on second Sunday, Celtic Communion on third Sunday and Holy Communion on fourth and fifth Sundays. In June 9.30am Wednesday Morning Prayer followed by Coffee & Catch-Up by Zoom was introduced Both these online services
4
have been led by our Rector, Pete Watson and/or our curate Hannah Suekarran, our 20s-40s Minister Rob Suekarran, or Claire Nutt, our Reader in training Inspire, our monthly Sunday 5pm informal, contemporary café style service was put on hold during the pandemic in 2020, but will begin meeting again online by Zoom in February 2021
Junior Church has been on hold throughout the pandemic and will not restart until the normal Sunday service pattern is resumed
Friday Fun Club, for pre-schoolers and parents continued, but on Zoom, and the Zone and A2O for our teenagers also moved to Zoom early on in lockdown
Pete in Touch, a weekly video for our younger members and schools, was also available on YouTube from end of March, and continues as part of schools’ collective worships/ assemblies These videos feature Rev Pete and his puppet friend Angus
Alive@5 for families transferred to Zoom later in 2020 – Alive@5 (@Home) Light Party was held on 1st November to celebrate All Saints Day and Christingle at Home was celebrated on 13th December From January 2021 Alive@5 will resume on the last Sunday of every month at 5pm
Once churches were allowed to re-open in July we held weekly 9 30am Sunday services at St Wilfrid’s and for a couple of months opened the church for private prayer on Wednesday afternoons
As of March/April 2020 there were 126 names on the electoral roll at St Wilfrid’s of whom 49 live outside the parish
At the beginning of 2020 the average Sunday attendance in church was 66 with an average of 54 communicants Following the lockdown in March, weekly ‘Church at Home’ online Sunday services (via YouTube) started and continued throughout 2020 and into 2021. Whilst the number of viewings each week initially fluctuated, they have averaged 59; however it is not possible to calculate individual numbers The Easter Day online service had 217 viewings and Christmas Day 71 When in person services have been possible these have averaged 23 attendees with 23 communicants In person services at Easter were not possible At Christmas, a Blue Christmas service in church had 9 attendees, Midnight Communion 11 attendees and Christmas Day Communion 20 attendees and 9 and 20 communicants An online (via Zoom) crib service had 60, Christingle 55 and Carol service about 35 attendees Whilst school services haven’t been possible in church, or visits made to schools, weekly screenings, during term time, of Religious Education for children at school and at home have been delivered via YouTube (Numbers not able to calculate)
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. In the first 3 months of the year we
5
celebrated 11 baptisms 6 weddings due to be held in 2020 were postponed, and one cancelled There were 17 funerals in our church this year, plus a further 13 funerals involving parishioners at crematorium and 4 services were held at the graveside
Pastoral Care
This is shared between the clergy and members of the congregation, particularly the Ministry Team
At the beginning of the March lockdown Rev Pete was proactive, with a number of others, in setting up a volunteer group to keep in phone contact with vulnerable members of the congregation and Parish who were self-isolating, and help was also given delivering medicines and shopping A Parish Support Team of 40 volunteers provided regular telephone support to 75 vulnerable members of the Parish who were known to us In addition, 21 of these volunteers were able to provide additional support to people needing help with shopping and collecting prescriptions The Support Team received over 30 requests via Selby AVS, the ‘Living Well Team’ and local chemists from people not known to us in the Parish who needed support to collect prescriptions or help with shopping during the March and April lockdown The telephone support continued throughout the year
Although we could no longer visit the two residential homes for older people in the parish and offer holy communion, contact has been maintained through phone calls with individual residents, offering a shopping/medicine collection service and at the end of March printed copies of prayers and worship packs were distributed to vulnerable and self-isolating people who could not access online resources In lockdown 2 in November further prayers from the Church of England website were printed and distributed Although the majority of parishioners receive the parish magazine Connected online, printed copies of the parish magazine have continued to be available, particularly to the residential homes and members of the congregation without internet access In December an Advent calendar of reflections, prayers and readings was created and available via social media and the church website Printed copies of the calendar were distributed to all the people in the parish who were receiving support via telephone because of their vulnerability
Given Covid restrictions pastoral care carried out by clergy and other members of the pastoral care team has been carried out remotely by phone or with appropriately socially distanced outdoor visits This has been the same with pastoral care around funerals, as well as weddings With 34 funerals in 2020 there were many contacts with bereaved families
As Rector, Rev Pete has a chaplaincy role with the local school communities, and again,
6
this has had to be carried our remotely, by phone, email and an online presence with his weekly Pete in Touch videos for schools to use in Collective Worship/assemblies, as well as for families at home
Missionary and Outreach Work
There are a great variety of activities, groups and events which indicate the breadth of mission taking place at St Wilfrid’s but it is especially focused on some key areas of activity However, given the pandemic, many of these have either had to go online or be put on hold
- Growing Community Events: (On hold)
Usually we have a rolling programme of events during the year to enable those, especially with families, to connect with the church community in a relaxed, non-threatening way In previous years these have included ceilidhs, fish and chips games evenings, walks and picnics. These are ideal events that form part of our mission to wedding couples and baptism families
- Alive@5- Cake, Craft, Community: (Initially on hold, but as of autumn 2020, by Zoom; under new leadership of Rev Suekarran, 20s-40s Multiply Minister ) The very informal Alive@5 service for families is again an important opportunity to invite baptism families and wedding couples/families to connect with the church community in a warm, welcoming and relaxed context
This replaced the Sunday morning monthly Family Service in January 2019, in response to the growing socio-cultural shift, which has seen a steady decline in Sunday morning attendance of families Alive@5 takes place monthly on a Sunday tea time, a time that research is showing is increasingly a better time for families A small team plans and leads these very relaxed, short worship times, under the strapline: Craft, Cake, Community Attendance varies from 20-30+
- The Zone: (After initially being on hold, by May/June, the Zone, A2O and Thrive were meeting again by Zoom Numbers have reduced considerably, with around 10 regularly participating )
The Zone is a monthly youth group which before covid numbered around 20 young people of high school age linked with our parish and a neighbouring parish The format includes a wide range of activities, as well as faith reflection, Bible study and an annual weekend away The Zone also plays a key part in a 2 monthly Selby Churches Together Youth Service called ‘Thrive’, under the leadership of a paid youth worker She also leads our now well-established fortnightly midweek time of Bible study and fellowship for Zone young people aged 15+ “A2O”

-
Friday Fun Club: (This has continued on Zoom throughout the pandemic) meets weekly with activities and a service for pre-schoolers and carers This is a very relaxed introduction to “church” and an opportunity for young parents to become part of the community
-
Monthly parish community lunches and coffee mornings: (On hold) these and other social fundraising activities, such as the summer and autumn fairs, provide significant opportunities for a variety of parishioners of all ages to engage with church and create community
-
Well-being Café: Sessions have continued by Zoom In partnership with Selby MIND, this began in September 2017 We seek to share the love and peace of Jesus, by creating a welcoming, inclusive, supportive space for those living with mental health conditions and their carers There is a small team of committed volunteers Pre-pandemic the café usually met every Monday morning in the parish hall, and was well used Additional Bible study opportunity for service users began in 2019
-
“Blue Christmas”: a service took place for the 3rd time in December Complying with Covid regulations, the church was open for several hours late afternoon/evening on the Monday before Christmas allowing those who struggle with Christmas an opportunity for quiet reflection. A short, simple, reflective service formed part of the open church time The Well-being Café team took the lead
-
Monthly communion services: (On hold) usually take place at two residential homes in the parish, in addition to individual home communions Both clergy and lay members visit providing pastoral support to older people in the community
-
Ministry in local schools: (On hold in person, but from the start of the first lockdown Rev Pete has recorded Pete in Touch videos each week for schools to use in Collective Worship/assemblies, as well as for families at home Rev Pete and other Foundation Governors from St Wilfrid’s have actively participated in governing body related meetings) Open the Book teams at Barlow Primary School and Thorpe Willoughby were on hold during most of 2020
-
The Parish Magazine: “Connected” came on stream in 2017 in both paper and online formats It continues to be a very effective missional tool in the community and has been very well received
-
Refresh: (Has continued by Zoom throughout the pandemic) Fortnightly women’s Bible Study led by Charlotte Watson
-
Beer and Banter: Launched in October 2018, a younger men’s group, which usually meets once a month in a local pub, has continued to meet fortnightly by
8
Zoom It offers a place of community for younger men, and will in due course create a forum to explore faith together in a relaxed environment A core group of between 6-8 men are part of this
-
Good internal noticeboards: including photos of key church personnel and pastoral care information, have been installed, enhancing the personal nature of the welcome visitors experience and to enable them to seek assistance more effectively
-
20s-40s Minister: in July 2019, the Rev Rob Suekarran was licensed as 20s-40s Minister in the Brayton Parish This post, along with 12 others across the Diocese of York, is part of the diocese’s missional and evangelistic ‘Multiply’ strategy to reach those in their 20s-40s The focus of the Multiply role is to seek to grow a team and build a new worshipping community in the 20s-40s age group over the next 5 years After a period of listening and discernment in 2019, the plans for engaging with those in their 20s-40s outside of church were inevitably impacted by the Covid pandemic However, new opportunities have arisen as a result of the pandemic which have helped to build connections with those in this age group through Multiply- related ministry, for example:
-
a) Building supportive relationships on a new housing estate, using WhatsApp
-
b) Developing a Christmas Carol Advent Window Trail across Brayton, by overseeing, supporting and working with a team who came up with the idea In December, 29 households within the wider Brayton Parish created decorated ‘stained glass’ effect windows to give a Living Advent Calendar of scenes from Christmas Carols New windows opened up each evening and created a trail around the village that was enjoyed by families throughout Advent and Christmas
-
c) Working with and leading the Alive@5 team to carry on with Alive@5 services during lockdown though Zoom, and investing in relationships with those who attend
-
d) Exploring the potential of using Social Media to connect with those we currently don’t, for example by engaging with those using Facebook, YouTube and Instagram during Lent by recording short reflections with a message targeted towards those outside of church
It is hoped that as lockdown restrictions ease, these connections will be able to be built upon, and further new connections made, which will enable, in time, new possibilities for a worshipping community to develop
- Parish Support: in May the Parish Support Team liaised with a local public house who offered to make packed lunches for the VE Day celebrations Over 50 of the
9
VE Day packed lunches were distributed by our volunteers to self-isolating and vulnerable members of our congregation Rev Pete Watson also led a YouTube service marking VE Day
-
The choir: continued to support the worship at St Wilfrid’s until the church was closed in March Sadly the choir was unable to meet for the remainder of the year for either practices or services However in December along with other members of the church family, we spent an enjoyable evening carol singing outside Fernbank Court and the homes of several parishioners
-
The Book Club: meetings in the Parish Hall ceased at the end of February but soon transferred to monthly discussions via”Zoom”, where opinions of the chosen book were shared and participants talked about other books read during lockdown Tara Westover’s “Educated” and Tracy Chevalier’s ,”A Single Thread” , were two of the more popular choices in 2020
-
Brayton Mothers Union: has not been able to meet since February 2020 During the first lockdown several members were involved in making scrub bags for local hospitals; these were gratefully received Members also made a donation of toiletries and essentials to Selby Sleepsafe Barbara Richardson continued to distribute MU Monthly Prayers to those who wanted them and MU News letters were forwarded to members by email where possible Members look forward to meeting again and meanwhile continue with Prayer Life
-
Churchyard tidying: There was disruption to the normal last Saturday of the Month working group during 2020 but the bins were emptied regularly, the conservation area cut back, borders weeded, and leaves swept
-
Prayer Bag Project: in July, the Families Team gave gifts of prayer bags to 30 families who are part of Friday Fun Club, Alive@5 and Junior Church This was a real team effort, involving the Craft Group, who made the bags, and the Families Team Each bag contained activities to help children and families think about how God is involved in all aspects of their lives and to invite them to talk to him The bags were warmly received with excitement, gratitude and even tears Several comments were received from our families: “Thank you so much for our prayer bag The kids love it A especially loves the bubble prayers ”and “Thank you so much for our prayer bag Such a generous and thoughtful thing to do J loves it ”
-
Swaziland Schools Project: Parish support for overseas mission continued with £640 sent from the parish for funding of education for children in Swaziland Some of this was from specific donations from individuals and the remainder from an annual donation from the PCC Annual amounts of £580 were also sent to The United Society (USPG) and the Christian Mission Society (CMS)
10
Deanery Synod
The incumbent and the PCC Deanery Synod representative attend the three meetings a year and contribute to shaping the mission and ministry of the wider church in the area They report back to the PCC (There have been no deanery synod meetings since the pandemic began)
Staff
Clergy: Rev Pete Watson (Rector), Rev Rob Suekarran (Multiply20s-40s Minister), and Rev Hannah Suekarran (Assistant Curate) We are also blessed with the services of our reader, Jackie Jackman, as well as Rodger Place, Roy Shaw, Paul Finlinson, Michael Wilson and George Greenhough as active retired clergy
Claire Nutt (nee Hodgson) continued as churchwarden until our APCM in October when Mrs Pat Jarvis was elected as new Churchwarden Mrs Jill Clarke continued as Treasurer
Ecumenical Relationships
Along with our local ecumenical partnership sister church of St Francis, St Wilfrid’s is an active member of Churches Together in Selby and this includes supporting the Selby Food Bank For our Harvest Services in October parishioners were invited to donate non perishable food which was given to the Food Bank Then in December a parish collection of wrapped toys was organised to be given to children in Selby This was in collaboration with Captain Richard Cooke of the Church Army
Financial Review
Once the first lockdown started in March 2020 it was obvious that income would be reduced as church service collections, fees for weddings and funerals and fundraising/ social events stopped Following advice from the Generous Giving Team at the Diocese our Rector began promoting offertory giving in his online services and encouraged parishioners to change from weekly envelopes to standing orders We also signed up with SumUp for online giving and added donation buttons to our website and our A Church Near You site The number of standing orders increased during the year from 35 to 38 (2 stopped, 5 started) and three parishioners increased their monthly giving Parishioners giving by weekly envelopes reduced to 9 by the end of the year partly due to the change to standing orders Overall planned giving has increased from £27,948 in 2019 plus adjusted reclaimed gift aid of £7,664 and in 2020 £30,069 plus reclaimed gift aid of £8,006, an increase of 7% Many thanks go to our gift aid administrator Glenn Guilliatt However other unrestricted income has decreased from £45,501 to £26,118 Overall unrestricted income is down 21%
11
Restricted income of £38,939 has increased from £18,061 in 2019 and this is due to a legacy of £33,139 received with much gratitude in May 2020 Without this legacy restricted income is only £5,800 The legacy will be used to part fund the upgrade to our heating system
With the reduction in income it was necessary to reduce our expenditure Therefore Freewill Offering had to go down We originally hoped to send £55,000 to the Diocese but by May it was obvious that £4583 a month was not possible and therefore we reduced our Offering for the remainder of year, down to a total of £44k This represented 66% of our unrestricted expenditure for the year compared to 59% in 2019 Other expenditure also reduced e g payments to organists and retired clergy as a result of restricted services, clergy expenses as pastoral and other meetings were conducted from home, mission costs and administrative costs as many events ceased or took place via Zoom Total unrestricted expenditure for 2020 was £66,977 compared to £84,236 in 2019, a reduction of 20% Restricted expenditure in 2020 was only £10,866 and consisted of donations to charities (mostly from funerals but also £272 for Toilet Twinning from a combined effort of Beer & Banter, Zone and Friday Fun Club), £3,336 for a small amount of asbestos to be removed from the boiler room, and the annual repayment of £2,100 for the Diocesan loan given in 2017 for the lane upgrade
The Fabric Account started the year with a balance of £44,040 and finished with £76,685 thanks to the legacy payment of £33,139 and a few fundraising activities early in the year For example the Burns Night Supper in January raised over £500 St Wilfrid’s Craft Group managed 2 coffee mornings at the beginning of the year They also took individual orders and with sales through a supplement in the church magazine raised just over £600 for the Fabric Fund The Craft Group have missed not being able to meet socially but have been busy, have built up a large stock and are raring to go in 2021 both socially and for fundraising By the end of 2020 there was £10,236 specifically for the Tower Fund.
Reserves Policy
Diocesan advice is that levels of reserves should generally cover 4-6 months of operational expenditure, excluding the Freewill Offering, and this was calculated as being about £4,000 to £6,000, for St Wilfrid’s At year end there was a balance in the No 1 Account of £9226 and also a balance of £2742 in the No 2 Account. This enables us to smooth out cash flow and meet emergencies
The No 2 Account contains surplus No 1 Account funds and is invested with the CCLA Church of England Deposit Fund Interest of £12 was received in 2020

Plans for Future Periods
Growing Community Events, Alive@5, The Zone & A2O, Friday Fun Club, community lunches and coffee mornings, Well-being Café, Beer & Banter, Refresh, Communions in residential/care homes and the extensive schools’ ministry will continue and develop, Covid allowing
Further, subject again to the Covid precautions, it is hoped that a Christian “seeker” course will be run annually, to draw in contacts in the community eg through our baptism and wedding missional focus, as well as from the younger men’s group
We are planning on extending the younger men’s Beer & Banter to include opportunities for those who want to share more deeply together about life and faith This may take the form of a monthly Saturday morning bacon butty breakfast at a local pub (On hold)
We are planning to open the church far more throughout the week, offering a place of rest and prayer (On hold)
Major works to the church building are needed in the coming years – tenders have now been received to upgrade the ancient heating system and we almost have sufficient funds in the Fabric Account to cover this cost It is hoped that the work will be completed in summer 2021 We then need to address the other building issues of the Tower/Spire and the D’Arcy Tomb A rough estimate of £300,000 was given for the Tower works and until the work is complete we have been advised not to use the bells A survey of the D’Arcy Tomb is imminent to identify the remedial treatment needed to rectify the fractured stonework and open joints in the north west corner of the tomb The main cause of this deterioration is moisture ingress causing the supporting ironwork to corrode The next Quinquennial Report is due in 2021 which may well highlight other structural problems The previous report identified areas in church that needed monitoring and included the repointing of stonework both internally and externally Damp is evident internally in parts of the church; the 2016 report noted that some of the rainwater pipes are too small and must be replaced to manage rainwater Unless addressed this issue will lead to further deterioration of the stonework
In the churchyard we still need to replace a temporary path around the tower with a permanent one, possibly to include some kind of design elements that incorporate prayer reflection and/or memorial inscriptions. This path is much needed to enable access from the front to the back of church (and hall) for prams and wheel chair users All these projects will need considerable time and finances.

Risk Management and Safeguarding
Policies for conflict of interest, complaints and grievances, legacy, and risk were discussed and updated where necessary at the PCC meeting on 1st September
Cathy Rodgers was reappointed as the Parish Safeguarding Representative (PSR) at the APCM The following parish safeguarding polices were reviewed and approved by the PCC in July 2020:
Policy for the use of photographs and video recordings of children, young people and vulnerable adults
Parish Domestic Abuse Policy
Parish Policy for the Fair Treatment of all applicants and the handling and safe keeping of information
Safeguarding Policy - Promoting a safer church
Policy Statement on the Recruitment of Ex Offenders
Lone Working Policy
Social Media Policy
The PSR attended safer recruitment and domestic abuse training in February 2020
Volunteers and PCC members accessed Church of England safeguarding training online throughout the year
We ensured safeguarding was a priority for the Covid support group All volunteers providing support over the phone and those collecting prescriptions were required to complete a Church of England Confidential Declaration Form, provide two references and a signed job description We also carried out enhanced DBS checks + barring for those who shopped for others during the pandemic

Notes to Accompany Annual Accounts
Note 1 General Account Number 1
The Number 1 Account is used for all day to day transactions Legacies, donations and grants specifically for the structure of St Wilfrid’s Parish Church are transferred to the Fabric Fund
Note 2 Parish Hall Account
A summary of the Parish Hall Accounts has been added to this report but as the hall is managed by a separate management committee, made up of church and community members, these accounts remain separate and are therefore not included in the Current Assets The amount carried forward in December 2020 includes grants of £4,900 to be used to make the hall covid safe in 2021
Note 3 General Account Number 2
The purpose of the Number 2 Account is to earn interest from surplus Number 1 Account funds, but due to the low level of interest rates and the account balance, the income for 2020 was only £12
Note 4 Community Account
Set up during Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020 to enable volunteers to fund essentials for those in the parish (and beyond) who are unable to carry out normal day to day activities A Volunteer Team has been set up by the Rector, Rev Pete Watson to keep in phone contact with those self-isolating in the parish and provide a means of getting medicines and shopping Those shopping and handling money have been DBS checked Generally volunteer shoppers will be paid in cash or by cheque by those self-isolating but when this is not possible eg The self-isolator has run out of cash/cheques, is too poorly to pay, the volunteer will be paid from the Community Account
Note 5 Fabric Fund
