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,
3
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
All aspects at St Wilfrid’s were affected in 2023 by the poor health of our incumbent, Reverend (Rev) Pete Watson It was with reluctance that Rev Pete took sick leave from February and it was not until October that he resumed his role on a part-time basis He then realised that full-time Parish Ministry would not be possible; sought and obtained a hospital chaplain role and, with sadness, took his final Sunday service on 10th December. Services continued throughout the year with much help from retired clergy, especially Rev Roy Shaw plus other clergy in the Diocese In June, we welcomed Rev Phil Grayson as Curate in Charge, who remains in this role

For much of the year this pattern was followed but due to Rev Pete’s absence Inspire ceased in August
In addition, there are a wide range of other services:
-
Local primary schools celebrate major Christian festivals at the church and the services are very well supported by parents and carers.
-
Individual year groups from the local Church of England primary school also prepare and lead worship throughout the year, and again, these services are well attended by parents and carers.
A variety of services are offered at key moments in the church year: Remembrance, Harvest, Christmas and Easter, in particular In December there is a Christingle service at which families bring Christmas gifts to be given to needy children and young people in the Selby area; this and the Christmas Eve Crib service are very well attended Carols on the Green, Christmas midnight Communion and Family Communion on Christmas Day provide additional ways for both regular and occasional worshippers to celebrate this season Likewise, there are a range of services during Holy Week and Easter for the community to engage with, including a number of midweek communion services, a Good
5
Friday period of reflection, plus 8am and 10.30am communion services on Easter Day. As of April 2023 there were 122 names on the electoral roll at St Wilfrid’s of whom 46 live outside the parish
During 2023 regular attendance at Sunday services was between 29 and 55
The average Sunday attendance was 44 but that increased at festivals so that Easter attendance was 64 with 55 communicants, the Christingle attendance was 33, Carols on the Green about 35, Carol Service 71, Crib Service 94, Midnight Communion and Christmas Day Communion 64 with 51 communicants 1103 children and adults attended the school carol services in December
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life During the year we celebrated 32 baptisms and 5 weddings There were 43 funerals in our church this year, plus a further 8 funerals involving parishioners at crematorium and one graveside service
Pastoral Care
This is shared between the clergy and members of the congregation, particularly the Ministry Team
Contact with the two residential homes for older people in the parish has been maintained; monthly Holy Communion services are held in both homes and weekly Knit and Natter sessions are held by Parish volunteers at Fernbank Court Although the majority of parishioners receive the parish magazine Connected online, printed copies have continued to be available, particularly to the residential homes and members of the congregation without internet access
Clergy and members of the pastoral care team have continued their support visits to people’s homes Visits are made for a variety of reasons – ill health, to give Communion to housebound people, plus preparation for baptisms and funerals With 52 funerals in 2023 there were numerous contacts with bereaved families
As Rector, Rev Pete has a chaplaincy role with six local school communities, but due to his illness Rev Pete’s chaplaincy role and involvement with six local schools was much reduced However, towards the end of 2023 he was able to lead a few collective worship/assemblies with these schools and to lead the carol services of the schools in church
Two members of the congregation are on the Chaplaincy Rota and visit Selby Hospital one week in every month, going round the wards to have a chat with patients and offer communion if required After the visits feedback is given to the Chaplain at York District Hospital

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
-
Alive@5 - Cake, Craft, Community : The very informal Alive@5 service for families gives an important opportunity for those with little or no prior links with church, including baptism families and wedding couples/families, to connect with the church community in a warm, welcoming and relaxed context
-
Alive@5 has increased to twice 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 strap-line: Craft, Cake, Community Attendance currently varies from 20-30+ Alive@5 was paused when Rev Pete Watson left his post The last session was held in early December 2023
-
The Zone : A monthly youth group aimed at young people from Year 5 and above, linked with our parish and a neighbouring parish The format includes a wide range of activities, as well as faith reflection and Bible study. Unfortunately The Zone did not meet during 2023 due to Rev Pete’s illness
-
Friday Fun Club : Meets weekly with activities and a service for pre-schoolers and carers It is a very relaxed introduction to “church” and an opportunity for young parents to become part of the church community There are encouraging growing links between Friday Fun Club and Alive@5, which reflects a slow, but hope-filled development of folks’ journeys of faith Friday Fun Club was paused when Rev Pete Watson left his post The last session was held in December 2023
-
Monthly parish community lunches and coffee mornings : The monthly community lunches (first Wednesday) and two coffee mornings (2nd Saturday and last Wednesday) are well attended and together with other social fundraising activities such as the spring and autumn fairs, provide significant opportunities for a variety of parishioners of all ages to engage with church and create community
-
Refresh : This is a fortnightly women’s Bible Study led by Martha Harrold and Cathy Rodgers which meets in participants’ homes This group will continue to meet informally but not as part of St Wilfrid’s
-
Monthly communion services : 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 : Because of his illness Rev Pete was not able to resume his regular visits to the schools in the Parish, leading collective worship, and involvement with religious education with classes until the very end of 2023 A new
7
Foundation Governor has been appointed to Brayton CofE Primary School, and has started to participate actively in Local Governing Body meetings at the school The Open the Book team have continued regular contributions to collective worship at Barlow CofE Primary School and in February began sharing the same bible stories with children at Chapel Haddesley CofE School
-
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
-
Brayton Beer and Banter : This men’s group, launched in October 2018, continues to meet monthly at a local pub and has a core group of 5 men
-
Choir : During 2023 the choir continued to meet for weekly practices and sing, as a choir, at the 10:30am service under the direction of James Lowery the organist and choir leader. Yvonne Green played on the first Sunday of each month. In February James resigned and was replaced for five months from June to November by Nicky Losseff We are grateful to Yvonne Green, Caroline Elliott, James Webb and Cliff Pritchard who all stepped in to help from time to time The number of choristers has now fallen to just 4 sopranos, 2 altos and 2 basses At Christmas the choir sang at the Nine Lessons and Carols Service and also joined Brayton villagers, on the green, at their annual carol singing around the Christmas tree
-
The Book Club : Monthly meetings in the Parish Hall have been well attended and members have read and discussed the merits of a wide variety of novels A very pleasant afternoon tea, at Selby Garden Centre, was one of the highlights of the Autumn schedule
-
Craft Group : The Group meets once a month on a Tuesday afternoon to make items, and host the monthly Saturday coffee morning where craft items and cake are sold to raise funds for St Wilfrid’s
-
Brayton Mothers’ Union : they continued with monthly afternoon meetings in the Parish Hall. In February the 85th anniversary of Mothers’ Union in Brayton was celebrated and included a talk from Sue Thompson There were also talks from Dan Walker (Selby Abbey), Henry Farrah (BBC cameraman) and Sue Beevers To raise funds, cakes were sold after the Mothering Sunday service, a cream tea was held in June and a coffee morning in September The Annual Gathering for the whole of the Mothers’ Union was held in York this year and several members attended at the Barbican followed by Evensong at York Minster
-
Churchyard Tidying : the normal last Saturday of the month small working group continues The bins were regularly emptied, borders were weeded and leaves were swept
8
- Overseas Mission : the Swaziland Schools Project helps provide better school facilities plus bursaries to children who are often orphaned or whose parents cannot afford the school fees St Wilfrid’s has supported this charity since 1989 £200 was given in March 2023, collected from individual parishioners, and the PCC gave £500 to this project in October. We also support USPG and CMS and £700 was donated to both in 2023
Deanery Synod
The Deanery Synod met three times during 2023 Representatives of the PCC attended each of these Meetings
An update on the Deanery Plan was given at the February meeting; the Plan had been approved the previous July, including the restructuring of parishes There were no changes to St Wilfrid’s, Brayton, or St Francis, Thorpe Willoughby
The Diocesan Start of Lay Ministries Advisor also spoke at the February meeting, about the renewal and development of lay ministries within the York Diocese
At the June meeting, there was a presentation about Ministry with Schools, Children and Youth A note about various financial matters from the Deanery Financial Advisor was also read out. The October Meeting had two substantive agenda items : the Parish Giving Scheme and an update on the Parish restructuring, consequent to the Deanery Plan
After each Deanery Synod Meeting, the PCC representatives who attend report back to the PCC
Ecumenical Relationships
Our closest ecumenical relationship is with our partnership sister church, St Francis in Thorpe Willoughby We share clergy, attend each other’s services, and support their social and fundraising events and activities
We are members of Churches Together in Selby; going to their meetings, attending joint services and supporting their events Churches Together in Selby support the Selby Foodbank and at Christmas donations given for our Parish Christmas card went to the Foodbank
Staff
Clergy: Rev Pete Watson (Rector), Rev Phil Grayson (Curate-in-Charge from June 2023) We are also blessed with the services of our reader, Jackie Jackman, as well as Rev Roy Shaw, Rev Paul Finlinson and Rev George Greenhough as active retired clergy
Mrs Pat Jarvis and Mrs Jill Clarke continued as Churchwarden and Treasurer respectively Thanks to all the volunteers that work so hard to keep the community at St Wilfrid’s welcoming and running smoothly

Financial Review
Planned giving in 2023 (primarily standing orders and weekly envelopes) increased by about £1800 to £29,675 thanks to a generous new standing order giver We are very grateful to our congregation for their regular giving By the end of the year the number of households giving by standing order had dropped to 35, and 7 households gave by weekly envelopes (from 39 and 8 in 2022)
We were fortunate to receive two large unrestricted legacies totalling £25,001 and this money has been carried forward to 2024 Due to the large number of funerals, total PCC fees for funerals and weddings increased from £15,069 to £20,972, gift aid tax was recovered for 4 quarters to give a total of £10,053, donations at baptisms, weddings and funerals totalled £7,001 and fundraising £6,143 Fundraising events included the Spring and Autumn Fairs, a concert by the Fairburn Singers, Selby Music Centre Concert, Mince Pies and Mulled Wine and the monthly community lunches and Coffeemates In total unrestricted income in 2023 was £116,435 compared to £72,551 in 2022
Restricted income totalled £14,568 Of this £6,516 was collected at funerals to be passed on to other charities, £3,380 was grants from the Diocese (£2,000 for energy costs and then £230 a month from June onwards for Rev Phil Grayson’s travelling expenses) In addition £1,865 was raised for the Fabric Fund by Craft Group Coffee Mornings, an organ recital and Tea@two afternoons
In 2023 our Freewill Offering increased to £44,500 (The Freewill Offering is paid to the Diocese to help fund clergy, and other services such as training and safeguarding provided by the Diocese Ideally parishes with a full-time clergy member should be paying at least £50,000 per annum) Our energy and water costs more than doubled in 2023 from £4,582 to £9,723 despite using the Parish Buying energy basket Payments to retired clergy and organists increased from £4,312 to £7,118 as several retired clergy helped with the numerous funerals, various organists played at funerals and weddings, and for Sunday morning services we paid for an organist in the early part of the year and again from September to November
Other main items of unrestricted expenditure were payment of fees to the Diocese (£5,910) and insurance (£5,146) Total unrestricted expenditure for 2023 was £86,231 compared to £65,950 in 2022
Restricted expenditure in 2023 reduced to £11,637 £8,637 of this was donations to charities (mostly from funerals but also £200 from parishioners to the Swaziland Schools Project) The remaining £3,000 was for the replacement nearly new boiler added in February
The Fabric Account started the year with a balance of £76,171 and finished with £79,648. By the end of 2023 there was £11,436 specifically for the Tower Fund.
10
Reserves policy
Diocesan advice is that levels of reserves should generally cover 4-6 months of operational expenditure, excluding the Freewill Offering This now equates to at least £12,000 if payments to retired clergy and organists are included
At the end of 2023 we had £32,218 in No 1 Account and £23,009 in No 2 Account The high level of reserves can be explained as
-
1) Approx £20K will be needed early in 2024 for the new sound system (the majority of which was donated in 2022 and is earning interest in the No 2 Account)
-
2) For 2024 clergy costs may increase without an incumbent and the Parish are required to pay costs for the empty Rectory
-
3) The Quinquennial inspection results are overdue and building maintenance work is anticipated e g Renewal of some gutters and repairs to the tower The legacy money might need to be used here
Plans for future periods
2023 became a challenging year for us when our Rector became very ill and needed to take long term sick leave from early February 2023 He was unable to return until late October Sadly, he then needed to resign and leave the Parish in early December due to his continuing ill health. Nevertheless, we were able to maintain our usual services and church offices through the year thanks to several retired clergy, clergy from within the Deanery, our Young Families Team and our Lay Ministry and Pastoral Teams In addition, in June 2023 we were grateful to benefit from the appointment of a Curate in Charge to our Parish. Therefore, the numbers attending our 10 30 Sunday service whilst not returning to the numbers of previous years were maintained at the level attained in 2022
Whilst the Children and Young Families groups, ‘Alive at Five’ and ‘Friday Fun Club’ continued in 2023, their numbers, although consistent, did not increase as they had begun to do in 2022 However, we will not be able to continue these groups in 2024 because we do not currently have the personnel to lead them Similarly, ‘Inspire’ our monthly contemporary informal café style worship, and Zone our group for young people will not resume. Nevertheless, we would hope to restart these groups before the end of 2024 with the appointment of a new incumbent
Refresh, the Women’s Group, continues as does Open the Book at Barlow School, and Chapel Haddlesey School Community lunches and coffee mornings, Beer & Banter, Communions in residential/care homes and the extensive schools’ ministry will continue and develop St Wilfrid’s continues to be a focus for Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals within our village These services are seen as an important part of the church’s ministry and outreach
11
2024 will be a critical year for us as we seek to recruit a new incumbent for our Parish who will be able to build on the customs and traditions of our church and develop a church that will grow and reach out to our local community The PCC are consulting with our Church Community and schools to seek their views on what they would like our church to be like and the ways they would like to see it grow in future years This consultation will inform our Parish Profile and the vision our Churchwarden and the PCC, who with the help of the Holy Spirit, hope to realise for St Wilfrid’s
Creating a church that is accessible and welcoming to families in our parish is seen as one of the challenges St Wilfrid’s faces if we are to ‘grow’ our church community To this end we have identified the need to make the space within church more welcoming, versatile, and open, to allow for more informal activities and worship The replacement of the pews with chairs would enable this flexibility.
The faculty we submitted in 2023 for our new audio visual and hearing loop system has been approved. This should be installed in the first half of 2024. The new system will not only enhance the hearing loop and audio quality in church but will provide a facility for visual presentations and the live-streaming of our Sunday services and funerals
We await the completion of our Quinquennial Inspection begun in spring 2023 This will inform the condition of the tower and the fabric of the building This may include the need to replace the gutters to accommodate increasingly heavy rainfall Bats in church remain a problem in the summer months We are seeking ways to mitigate the impact of them on the interior of church and especially on the children’s area and pews in the nave Our trolley of folding chairs, used when we have a very full church, need replacing with more modern lighter stacking chairs Storage is a critical problem especially at the back of church which is often cluttered and untidy Our internal notice boards need renewing to enhance the appearance and communication within church
We have identified that the early Norman arch over the south door of the church is eroding and deteriorating because of the damp in the south porch The arch is also exposed to the elements because there is no external door on the porch Work will be needed in future years to protect the arch by dealing with the source of the damp and enclosing the porch with a door
Our heating system has functioned satisfactorily in 2023 with the replacement boiler and repaired underground pipes However, a new system will be needed before too long as the current pipework and radiators are ageing and will become even less efficient and effective in future years Adequate funds to install a new system are not currently available to us and the PCC have made the decision to wait to see if new technologies could offer us a more sustainable system in the future
12
It is still not possible for us to carry out the remedial work needed to the D’Arcy Tomb estimated at a cost of over £30,000 in 2019. However, we have identified ways that its structure could be strengthened at a much lower cost to slow down further deterioration In the churchyard we still need to replace a temporary path around the tower with a permanent one 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 25th 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 2023:
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
We are continuing to work to increase the understanding of safeguarding in our church community so that it is regarded as everyone’s responsibility and as an integral part of church life This work includes ensuring that volunteers engage with the Church of England’s Safeguarding Learning and Development Framework
St Wilfrid’s uses the Parish Safeguarding Dashboard to audit safeguarding in the parish and to create a regular safeguarding action plan
Structure, Governance, and Management
The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure The PCC is a Registered Charity The method of appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules At St Wilfrid’s the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent (our rector), curate(s), churchwardens, the reader and members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church All church attendees are
13
encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC
The full PCC met 6 times during 2023 In February we discussed the new audio-visual system and managing the Parish in Rev Pete’s absence, in March the Trustees Annual Report for 2022 was discussed plus safeguarding, in May planning for growth was the main topic with our church architect present, in July the annual review of safeguarding policies and grant funding were the main topics, in September we welcomed Rev Phil Grayson and reviewed our policies of conflict of interest, legacy, risk, complaints & grievance and St Wilfrid’s risk assessment template, and in November we focussed on mission & ministry and the recruitment of a parish safeguarding rep The Annual Parochial Church Meeting was held on 23rd April 2023 We have a Standing Committee authorised by the full PCC and with full knowledge of the PCC to address issues and make decisions between PCC meetings
Report Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 7th March 2024 and signed on their behalf by Pat Jarvis (PCC Churchwarden)
