As of April 2024 there were 121 names (122 in 2023) on the electoral roll at St Wilfrid’s of whom 45 live (46 in 2023) outside the parish There are approximately 47 members of our regular worshipping community with 3 in the 0-10 age group, 14 in the 18-69 age group and 30 in the 70+ age group During 2024 regular attendance at Sunday services was between 30 and 50 The average Sunday attendance was 44 but that increased at festivals so that Easter attendance was 64 with 60 communicants, Carols on the Green about 25, Carol Service 50, Crib Service 70, Midnight Communion 65 with 64 communicants There was no Christmas Day service at St Wilfrid’s as the service was held at St Francis, Thorpe Willoughby 1148 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 19 baptisms and 3 weddings There were 31 funerals in our church this year, plus a further 2 funerals involving parishioners at the crematorium **5** ## **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 33 funerals in 2024 there were numerous contacts with bereaved families Three 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 offering 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 - **Monthly parish community lunches and coffee mornings** : The monthly community lunches (first Wednesday) and two coffee mornings (Craft Group coffee morning on 2nd Saturday and Coffeemates on last Wednesday) are well attended As well as refreshments, the Craft Group sell the crafts that members have made, and all the proceeds go to the Fabric account for the upkeep of the church building Over £1300 came from the Craft Group coffee mornings in 2024 Coffeemates is enjoyed particularly by those who can’t get out much or live alone, and lifts can be organized for any who find it difficult to attend. Together with other social fundraising activities such as the spring and autumn fairs, these events provide significant opportunities for a variety of parishioners of all ages to engage with church and create community - **Events Group** : A variety of events were organized throughout the year These included Tea@Two, Fairburn Singers, Wine and Wisdom, a one-man production of A Christmas Carol, plus Mince Pies and Mulled Wine **6** - **Monthly communion services** : These take place at two residential homes in the parish, in addition to individual home communions Both clergy and lay members visit and provide pastoral support to older people in the community - **Ministry in local schools** : In 2024, contact was re-established with Brayton Primary School Martin Pearson visited the school and spent time with one class, including reading a story and discussing it with the children Following this reestablished contact, the school subsequently returned to church for their Harvest and Christmas celebrations On each occasion, two sessions were held allowing all the classes and their families to take part in rotation The school organised the content, with pupils often leading plus a short space to deliver a message from St Wilfrid’s A date has already been set for the school’s Easter 2025 celebration Brayton Primary School are very pleased to have re-established contact Longman’s Hill Primary School also held their Christmas service at St Wilfrid’s with 160 adults and 220 children in attendance Following an informal request from a staff member at the Brayton Headstart Preschool, a very positive contact was made A group of children from the Preschool visited church just prior to our Harvest celebration They enjoyed looking around the church and hearing about harvest A visit was made to the preschool, to read stories and liaise with the manager to plan their Christmas celebration at St Wilfrid’s Many families came to this event, the children sang a number of Christmas songs they had prepared, a short message from St Wilfrid’s was given and we sang ‘Our God is a Great Big God ’ The Headstart manager is keen to collaborate with St Wilfrid’s; another visit to the preschool is scheduled for March and there are plans for an Easter celebration This is a new initiative, and we wonder if God’s hand is at work here Through the response from the different schools, it has been exciting to welcome so many families into church, and looking forward we need other services to which they can be invited - **Open the Book** : The Open the Book team have continued their regular contributions to Collective Worship at both Barlow and Chapel Haddlesey C of E Primary Schools and the children are always keen to both watch and take part in the dramatized bible stories Unfortunately, our long-time stalwart Martin Millwood stood down for health reasons His expertise in drama production was such a blessing, but we have been fortunate in recruiting Val from Chapel Haddlesey in his place It has been good to keep up the connection with the schools during our interregnum - **The Parish Magazine** : The monthly “Connected” is issued in both paper and **7** online formats It continues to be a very effective missional tool in the community and is very well received. Our editor has quarterly meetings to find out about, and publicise, forthcoming events - **Website** : The stwilfridsparish com website was refreshed and given a more contemporary look The site is now frequently updated based on events or seasons The Sunday Sheet and parish magazine can be accessed as well as our current policies There is plenty of information about services and regular activities - **Pew Sheets** : The weekly pew sheet is sent out by email to regular members of the congregation The Church Near You website is also updated on a regular basis - **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 4 men - **Noticeboards** : Internal noticeboards include photos of key church personnel and pastoral care information These enhance the personal nature of the welcome visitors experience and enable them to seek assistance more effectively - **Choir** : In 2024 the choir continued to meet for weekly practices and sing, as a choir, at the 10 30 service, under the direction of Rosemary Finlinson Yvonne Green continued to play on the first Sunday of the month, until she retired from playing on a regular basis, in August Kate Galloway joined us in September as our regular organist and choir leader We are also grateful to Cliff Pritchard and Yvonne Green who stepped in to help from time to time The number of choristers remains as last year, 4 sopranos, 2 altos and 2 basses At Christmas we sang at the Nine Lessons and Carols Service and joined Brayton villagers, on the green, at their annual Carol singing around the Christmas tree and we also sang for the residents at Fernbank Court - **Book Club** : A wide variety of novels have been discussed at the monthly meetings A group of members much enjoyed a performance of “Little Women “, at York Theatre Royal and four people heard a fascinating talk by the author, Kate Mosse, at Selby Town Hall An outing to Selby Garden Centre, for afternoon tea was also a well-attended event - **Play Reading** : The Play Reading group met once a month and enjoyed reading a variety of comedy plays - **Mothers Union** : Brayton Mothers’ Union continued with monthly meetings on the second Thursday of the month in the Parish Hall There were a variety of speakers, on subjects ranging from The Life of a Housekeeper on a large estate, a Sensory Meditation, decorating Squares for Fiddle Pinnies, to a visit to Antarctica and Anne Boleyn’s Prayer Book Funds were raised by a Cake Stall after the **8** Mothering Sunday Service, a Cream Tea and a Coffee Morning, and members enjoyed a Harvest Lunch and a Christmas Tea In April the branch took part in a Deanery Service in Escrick Church - **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 - **Overseas Mission** : The Swaziland Schools Project helps provide better school facilities plus bursaries to children who are orphaned or whose parents cannot afford the school fees St Wilfrid’s has supported this charity since 1989 £190 was given in June 2024, collected from individual parishioners, and the PCC gave £525 to this project in December We also support USPG and CMS and £735 was donated to both in 2024 ## **The Church Building** During 2024 a number of essential maintenance activities were completed, and our new audio visual and hearing loop system was commissioned The new system has been used regularly and has not only enhanced the hearing loop and audio quality, but has also provided a facility for visual presentations Live streaming of services is still a key deliverable, but to date, a reliable internet connection has not been available During 2025, a solution will be progressed, which will deliver a reliable and secure internet connection In the last quarter of 2024, the long-awaited Quinquennial Inspection was completed, this included a detailed full tower inspection The written report was received early in 2025 Initial discussions with the Architect have confirmed several significant issues. Based on previous estimates and allowing for inflation, funding for repairs will be a critical issue and as such will require a significant focus in 2025. Creating a church that is accessible and welcoming to families in our parish remains one of the key challenges if we are to ‘grow’ our church community The need to make the space within church more welcoming, versatile, and open to allow more informal activities and worship remains an area of debate ## **Deanery Synod** The Deanery Synod met three times in 2024 Representatives of the PCC attend these meetings and report back to the PCC They also encourage other PCC and Church community members to attend the Deanery Synod meetings, especially if the main topic of the meeting will be of interest and/or benefit to them The main topics for 2024 were Digital Transformation & Support, Discipleship : what is it? and how to foster it, and Supporting Early Years, Families and Youth **9** A Selby Deanery Quiet Day was held in September 2024 This was an opportunity for reflection and prayer. A number of people from the Parish attended and enjoyed the day, finding it very beneficial. ## **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 ## **Staff** Clergy: Rev Phil Grayson, Curate in Charge June 2023 - May 2024 Jackie Jackman, Reader Active Retired Clergy Rev Roy Shaw, Rev Paul Finlinson, Rev George Greenhough, Rev Francis Loftus and others PCC officers : Pat Jarvis was the Church Warden until July 2024. Jill Clarke and Ruth Breeze continued, and continue, as Treasurer and Secretary respectively The structure of the PCC changed with the absence of an Incumbent and a Church Warden, setting up three sub committees: Worship & Prayer, Mission & Outreach, and Buildings & Finance with a PCC Chair. There is also a Standing Committee for urgent and significant business between PCC meetings Volunteers: thanks to all volunteers, who contribute their time and energy, especially the solid core of the Church community, who gave so much in 2024 ## **Financial Review** The accounts show that in 2024 total income fell to £94,609, compared to £131,003 the year before (but this was still higher than 2021 and 2022) Much of the fall was due to legacies; £25,00 was received in 2023 compared to £8,038 in 2024 Planned giving (primarily standing orders and weekly envelopes) also fell, from £29,675 in 2023 to £25,864 Two long term supporters died, two members of the congregation moved to care homes and two younger families attended different churches By the end of the year the number of households giving by standing order had dropped to 34, and 6 households gave by weekly envelopes There were fewer weddings and funerals in 2024 and therefore income from PCC fees decreased and there was a comparative drop in donations for weddings, funerals **10** and baptisms Fundraising events continued to bring much needed income with £7,387 coming from our Spring and Autumn Fairs, plus the activities organised by our Events Group, and the Craft Group Coffee Mornings In 2024 our Freewill Offering increased slightly to £45,000 (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 £52,000 per annum) Our other large expenditure item was the renewal of our sound system costing £18,277 Donations for this were made in 2022 and had been carried forward Our energy and water costs reduced to £7,395 in 2024 (from £9723) and donations to charities also reduced as fewer funerals were held Total expenditure was £108,942 compared to £97,868 in 2023 The Fabric Account started the year with a balance of £79,648 and finished with £87,615. By the end of 2024 there was £12,951 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 This now equates to at least £12,000 if payments to retired clergy and organists are included At the end of 2024 we had £14,135 in No 1 Account and £24,230 in No 2 Account It is likely that we will need to use some of the No 2 Account in 2025 to continue to fund the Freewill Offering and/or help pay for maintenance work highlighted in the recently received Quinquennial Report ## **Plans for Future Periods** We are looking forward to the Collation Service on Monday 31st March 2025 and the Ministry of the new Incumbent, the Reverend Glyn Diggins We will be working, under his leadership, to take the Parish forward Particular interest will be: - a) the development of activities and services that will appeal to children, families and young people - b) growing the Church community so that more people are involved in the work of the Church - c) improving the financial position of St Wilfrid’s - d) meeting the challenges of the Quinquennial Inspection and other building work needed to maintain the church building ## **Risk Management, and Safeguarding** Policies for conflict of interest, complaints and grievances, legacy, and risk were discussed **11** and updated where necessary at the PCC meeting on 19th September Linda Bunn was appointed as the Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO) at the APCM in April 2024 It has taken Linda a while to get up to speed as there were IT issues, however this was resolved and Linda goes and grows strength by strength The following Parish Safeguarding Policies were reviewed and approved by the PCC in November 2024, and they will once again be reviewed in November 2025 - Safeguarding Policy – Promoting a Safer Church - 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 - Policy Statement on the Recruitment of Ex Offenders - Lone Working Policy - Social Media Policy After a year of headline issues and articles in the press and other media, regarding Church Life and Safeguarding, we need to continue to work to increase knowledge and understanding of safeguarding in our church community so that it is regarded as everyone’s responsibility Linda has / will be in contact with those that need to take or redo their DBS certificate and /or any safeguarding training. She will also meet with our new Rector to discuss Safeguarding priorities ## **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 encouraged to register on the electoral roll and stand for election to the PCC The full PCC met 5 times during 2024 with an additional 5 meetings being held to discuss Interregnum issues These separate meetings focused on the Recruitment of a New Incumbent The meetings early in the year discussed the feedback from the Parish Consultation and pulling together the Parish Profile for the Recruitment of the New Rector. At the March Meeting the Accounts for the Year Ended 2023 and the Trustees Annual Report for 2023 were discussed along with the vacant post of Parish Safeguarding Officer and increasing PCC membership **12** In May the main topic was the formation of Subcommittees and the recruitment of the Parish Safeguarding Officer. Other items included the delay with the Quinquennial Inspection, the AV Installation and notification of the sale of the Rectory. The July meeting focussed on the resignation of the Church Warden, Appointment of a new Chair for PCC meetings and Point of Contact in the absence of a Rector and Churchwarden This also meant a change to the bank signatories, Standing Committee Membership and an update to the Charity Commission Website The September meeting reviewed the Conflict of Interest Policy, Legacy Policy, Risk Policy, Complaints & Grievance Policy and St Wilfrid’s Risk Assessment Document Reports were also taken from the newly formed Buildings & Finance, Worship & Prayer, and Mission & Outreach Subcommittees The November meeting focused on reviewing and approving the Lone Working Policy, Policy for Responding to Domestic Abuse, Social Media Policy, Policy for the use of photographs and video recordings of children and vulnerable adults, Parish Policy for the fair treatment of all applicants and the handling and safe keeping of information, Policy Statement on the Recruitment of Ex-offenders and Safeguarding Policy Promoting a Safer Church The reduction in Planned Giving over the past year was also of great concern to PCC members 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 20th March 2025 and signed on their behalf by Hilary Putman (PCC chair) Signed **13** ## **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 ## **Note 3 General Account Number 2** The purpose of the Number 2 Account is to earn interest from surplus Number 1 Account funds £20,000 was added in 2023 to cover the cost of the new sound system due to be installed in 2024. There were sufficient funds in the Number 1 account to pay for the sound system and therefore by the end of December 2024 there was £24,230 in the Number 2 Account ## **Note 4 Community Account** This was set up during the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020 to enable volunteers to fund essentials for those in the parish (and beyond) who were unable to carry out normal day to day activities A Volunteer Team was 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 were DBS checked The Community Account could be used to fund energy for parishioners or other necessities and once our new Rector is in post this will be discussed ## **Note 5 Fabric Fund** This fund consists of restricted donations and legacies which have been given for the specific purpose of maintaining the structure of St Wilfrid’s Parish Church The restricted part of the fund cannot be used for day to day parish expenses Subscriptions to the “Friends of St Wilfrid’s” and other appropriate donations are added to the fund **14** ## **Annual Accounts of St Wilfrid’s** |**2023**|**General Account Number 1 Receipts**|||**2024**| |---|---|---|---|---| ||See Note 1|Unrestricted|Restricted|| ||**Incoming resources**|||| |28,150|Planned Giving|24,054||24,054| |1,525|Other Giving|1,810||1,810| |6,000|St. Francis Freewill OfferingContribution|6,800||6,800| |731|One-Off Gift Aid|207||207| |7,001|Baptism,Wedding,Funeral|4,951||4,951| |4,381|Open Plate|3,334||3,334| |6,516|Charities & 50% Funeral||4,361|4,361| |550|Friends of St Wilfrid’s||550|550| |221|M’Babane,Christian Aid||541|541| |3,611|Donations - General,Gift Day,Floodlights etc|2,144||2,144| |2,167|Miscellaneous Income - Hall Fuel & Repairs|1,243||1,243| |0|Donations - Fabric||0|0| |18|Special Appeals - Tower Fund||1,515|1,515| |90|Special Appeals - Sound System||0|0| |11,783|Tax Recovered|8,645|128|8,773| |25,001|Legacies|2,500|5,538|8,038| |3,380|Grants and loans||1,610|1,610| |101,125|**Total Voluntary Income**|55,688|14,243|69,931| ||**Activities forgenerating funds**|||| |8,011|Fund RaisingGross|5,990|1,398|7,387| ||**Income from investments**|||| |0|Bank Interest|0|0|0| ||**Church Activities**|||| |20,972|PCC Fees|16,322||16,322| |195|Bookstall Sales||120|120| |700|Parish Magazine,Guides,Diaries|850||850| ||**Other incoming resources**|||| |0|Insurance Claims|0|0|0| |131,003|**Total Incoming Resources**|78,849|15,760|94,609| **15** |**2023**|**General Account Number 1 Payments**|**General Account Number 1 Payments**||**2024**| |---|---|---|---|---| ||See Note 1|Unrestricted|Restricted|| ||**Resources Expended**|||| |174|FundraisingActivities|222||222| ||**Church Activities**|||| |10,537|Overseas Mission /donations to charities|1,995|5,541|7,536| |44,500|Freewill Offering (formerlyParish Shares)|45,000||45,000| |7,118|Salaries,Wages,Honoraria|4,933||4,933| ||**Clergy and Staff Expenses**|||| |5,910|StatutoryDiocesan Fees|4,804||4,804| |1,071|ClergyExpenses - Rector|382||382| |2,130|ClergyExpenses - NSM / Visitors|1,918||1,918| |1,034|ClergyHousing|630||630| ||**Church Expenses**|||| |130|Mission Costs - LayTraining, Junior Church|64||64| |2,725|Church & Churchyard Maintenance|4,482||4,482| |5,146|Church Insurance|5,576||5,576| |26|Settlement Fees-online donations|24||24| |2,291|Administration Costs|698||698| |1,220|Upkeepof Services|522||522| |9,723|Church heat,light & water|7,395||7,395| |173|Cost of TradingBookstall|180||180| |0|Upkeepof Parish Hall|0||0| |960|Paper for Parish magazine,WeeklySheet|906||906| ||**Major Expenditure**|||| |3,000|Major Repairs to Church||5,393|5,393| |0|Sound System|18,277||18,277| |0|New Buildings Church,Hall,ClergyHousing|0||0| |0|Repayment of loan|0||0| |97,868|**Sub Total - Church Activities and Expenses**|98,008|10,934|108,942| |0|PCC Governance costs|0||0| |(nil)|Anyotherpayments|(nil)||(nil)| |97,868|**Total Resources Expended**|98,008|10,934|108,942| |131,003|Total Receipts|||94,609| |97,868|Total Payments|||108,942| |33,135|Surplus / Defcit|||-14,332| ||**_Add_**|||| |0|Transfer from General Account Number 2|0||0| |0|Transfer from Fabric Account|0|0|0| ||**_Deduct_**|||| |1,036|Transfer to Fabric Account||3,750|3,750| |20,000|Transfer to General Account Number 2|0||0| ||**_Add_**|||| |20,119|Balance brought forward 1stJanuary|||32,218| |32,218|**Balance carried forward 31st.
