Objectives and activities
The objective of the PCC Is promoting In the parlsh the whole mlsslon of the Church, pastoral,
evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The Vine Sheffield is anAnglican Church and Ecclesiastical Parish in the areas of Netherthorpe,
Upperthorpe, and the Langsett Estate in Sheffield.
Our purpose statement Is..
"As an open and prayerlul community, it is our desire to know and encounter Goé's love In
deeper ways and to grow In our response to that love. Challenging each other to become
more like Christ and through living out the value5 Qf the Kingdom of God we will look to create
and develop a netwoth of loving relationships where people can be transformed by
encountering Jesus. And we will seek to serve our neighbour, prayerfully expecting God to be
at work by following God's lead.
When plannln8 our attivities for the year, the intumbent and the PCC have considered the
Charity Commission's guidance on publlc benefit and, in partlcular, the specific guidance on
charltles for the advancernent of religion.
Revlew of the year
2022 has been a year for consolidatlng the Parlsh in its re-emergence from the Impact of the
pandemic In 2020 and 2021. It has also been dominated by the process of implementing the
pastoral scheme that unlfied the Benef ice with that of St. Timothy's Crookes. Thls perSod of
structural tr3nsitlor) was expected to have been completed by the end of the previous year
did not complete until May of 2022.our strategic directions had been set in the latter part of
2021 and included the pursuit of mission in both the S6 and $3 areas as well as investing in
our Sunday morning worship and fellowship at St. Bart's.
Irbvestment in the congregatlonal Ilfe at St. Bart's Included contrlbutlng to the employment of
Esther Gratze as a children's and youth work (through St. Timothy's), commencin8 In the first
part of the year. An Alpha Course, led by our intern Nick Phoenix. led to baptisms on Easter
Sunday. Other Initlatives. such as "Garden Church" to add fellowship around our outslde
areas, and community lunches for those associated with children's ministry, have added to
ur revitalisation. We have welcomed a diversity of new members.
The 2021 "56 Mission Audit" identified the felt need for a community hub in the local area.
This has been grasped not only through the making available of our facilities to varlous
community group5, but thiough the emergence of a midweek community on Thursolays.
Initially a Coffee Morning, the Thursday presence transitioned to offering "warm space" and
small meal and a f riendly presence in response to the colder month5 and the cost-of-living
crisis. After the summer our"VinelighY' morning prayer times have also occurred on Thursday
mornings.

The Vine 5heff ield
Annual Report
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The House of Prayer at St. Stephen's continued to evolve during 2022 and express itself as a
worshipping community shaped around the values of prayer and misslonal presence. The
prayer spaces at St. Stephen's have been made regularly available and have been used by the
House of Prayer IHOPI core team, other parishioners, members of the community, and other
groups. The team has also been able to be a resource for other churches. offering worship
and prayer support. A "Di5coverin8 Ancient Pathways" course is being trialled in-house with
a view to It being offered more widely In 2023. Monthly "Open Table" meals have bullt
connections with the nearby community. allowing for pastoral provision including supporting
a refugee couple to be married, and a dedication of a child. Towards the end of the year, in
collaboration with St. Philip's Church Iwho are hirers of St. Stephen's), the HOP team have
been able to offer.warm space" to the Netherthorpe Community In response to the Cost-of-
Llving Cri51s. Throu8hout the year it was recognised that it was important to strengthen the
connections between the House of Prayer and the other communltles of the Parlsh and steps
have been taken to ensure representation on PCC.
Church Attendance & Meetlngs: There were $8 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll at
the time of the last APCM (May 20221. The full PCC met formally 7 times during the year,
Standing committee met between meetings and minutes of their deliberatlons were recelved
by the full PCC and discussed where necessary.
Key changes durlng 2022
Some of the key developments are outlined In the review, above.
Structurally, the extended transition in the unlfication of the Benefice was harmful to the
workin8 of the Parish. It became clear over the course of the year that many of our
management structures were not well aliEned to our new position In which we Sha re much
of our human and other resources with St. Timothvs. Thi5 Was evidenced by and exacerbated
by our vicar, Rev. Will Briggs, needing to take sick leave during the summer months. U pon his
return attentlon has been given to identifying the gaps and inefficiencies In our leadership,
management, and governance structures.
The vicar ha5 convened a 'Task & Finish" Group across the Benefice to discern the way
forward and we expect these changes to be implemented in 2023.
Personnel changes.. Esther Gratze joined the benefice as children's worker, holding a
collaborative post wlth St. Timothy's. She has brought significant energy, creativity and
consolidation to our Sunday children's provision as well as building and strengthening
relationships Wlth the lotal school and community. Nick Phoenix, internship erbded in July
after a year of encouraging and stimulating ministry amongst us. During the summer he
discerned a calling to return to Sheffield to offer his 5UPPOrt to the House of Prayer with a
view towards "Bridge Building" ministry focusing on spiritual support for those who are
homeless or significantly disadvantaged. he commenced this work in a self-supporting
capacity in September. We farewelled our lay reader, Andy Wier, who discerned a desire to
focus ministry elsewhere. Lay reader Kate Cornwell had Spent little time in the parish since

the pandemic and her license was transferred to St. Columba's, Crosspool. Our warden, Andy
Bryce, wa5 SPOn50red to study the Foundations Course offered by St. Peter's College.
Officeholders Ir) our governance Structures remained stable, with wardens, lay chair,
treasurer, and secretary remaining in-post. We are expecting there to be a change in treasurer
in 2023, a5 well a5 some changes in governance responding to the larger review of leadershlp
structures,
Future Plans
In terms of misslon and rninistry the plans for 2023 continue to be one of building upon and
consolidating our Sunday-morning fellowship and our S6 mission. The House of Prayer is in
conversation with the 2417 Prayer movement about being embraced as a recognised part of
that network. some adjustments may be appropriate as this pioneering ministry evolves.
There are some slgnificant considerations to give to building mair)tenance and repalrs, as well
as responding to runnlng costs le.g. wlth energy contracts falllng duel and maximlslng the
mutual benefit of key partnerships such as the hiring agreement with St. Phllip's.
The most slgnlflcant plan will be the exploration and adoption of new form5 of leadership,
likely to include an embrace of "focal ministrf. It is hoped that this will lead to a clear space
for vision and values to emerge to enable proactive pursuit of mission and ministry in all our
area5. It 15 0150 hoped that this will enable our decision-making and governance processes to
Increase in coherence and efficiency, and alignment with St. Timothls as our slster parish in
the Beneflce.
Flnanclal Revlew
We are pleased to note the ongoing Stability in The Vine's finances during 2022. Whllst the
pressure of inflation, alongside the need to spend more on our bulldlngs and services post
COVID was notable. the overall impatt on General Funds was not too Significant, only
incurrin8 a £6,044 loss during the year. Designated and restricted funds saw higher losses

Income
The Vine received E115,342 in total during 2022, an increase from 2021,5 value of £108,415.
The main contributors to thi5 increase were investment income lup 12.6%, due to increasing
interest ratesl and building hire lup 26%, due predominantly to St Phillips residency and St
Stephens). Planned giving reduced slightly from 2021 levels {2.2%1, but this is not a significant
cause for concern due to fluctuation of donors and amounts given over time.

**The Vine, Sheffield Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The account are prepared in line with the Charity Commission guidance on "Receipts and payments" accounts and the Church Accounting Regulations 2016. 

## **Receipts & payments account** 

Receipts and payments accounts are statements that summarise the movement of cash into and out of the organisation during the financial year. In this context "cash" includes cash equivalents, for example, bank accounts where cash can be readily withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due. 

## **Funds** 

General funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose. 

Designated funds are set aside at the discretion of the PCC. 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. 

Endowment funds arise from specific gifts left to the church and are held as investments. The endowment funds are managed on a total return basis - see note 4 for further details. 

- **2 Designated funds**

|---|---|---|---|---|---|



## **Advancing Kingdom purposes** 

While monies still exist in the Fund, it will be spent on advancing Kingdom purposes within the Parish, with an unanimous decision from PCC on what to spend it on. Advanced Kingdom purposes could include spending it on the buildings, in line with discussions within the PCC about how the buildings can be used to advance kingdom purposes. 

## **Community Cafe** 

The community cafe historically contributed some of its surplus income to the general fund, however, having closed during 2020, this will no longer contribute income going forward. The PCC has released these funds back to the general fund. 

## **The Vine Building Improvement Fund** 

As part of the PCC's move to a total return approach to their investments, £200,000 had originally been designated towards the planned major building work at St Bart's. £The PCC have reallocated £20,724 towards the Children's worker designated fund. The fund has been renamed during the year from "St Bart's Building improvement fund" as the PCC have decided to widen the scope of the fund to both St Bart's and St Stephens', for planned major building work and improvements. 

## **St Barts fabric fund** 

This fund originally arose on designation by the PCC, and can be spent on maintenance to the fabric of St Bart's buildings. The PCC agreed to use the St Bart's Fabric Fund money towards a feasibility study and architects brief for redeveloping St Bart's building. Money has also been spent on architects’ drawings. 

10 



**The Vine, Sheffield Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **2 Designated funds - continued** 

## **Vicars discretionary fund** 

These funds have arisen on the consolidation of the St George's church charities and other charities, previously under the auspices of the Netherthorpe Parish Trustees, now under The Vine PCC. The St George's Church Charities are to be used for the relief of sickness or need in the former ecclesiastical parishes of St George and St Stephens. The PCC have decided that the funds continue to be used within the charitable purposes, for the discretionary use of the vicar, or to contribute towards church-led projects which benefit the sick and/or needy. 

## **Temporary pastoral fund** 

The Temporary Pastoral Fund was created in 2020 in response to any financial need arising from parishioners, or others, as a result of Covid-19. The fund is administered by nominated individuals from Standing Committee. 

## **House of Prayer** 

The "House of Prayer" fund is to facilitate a place of holistic prayer and worship, grounded in the legacy and location of St. Stephen's within The Vine Sheffield. £300 was transferred in 2021 from the general funds as a float to monitor this project. 

## **Childrens' worker** 

A children’s worker was employed by St Tims in 2022. This post was designed to work between St Tims and The Vine. Employment sits with St Tims, who cross charge The Vine for their time. Agreement was made in March 2022 to set up a fund for this post by reallocating £20,724 from the building improvement fund twards the salary and associated employment costs, to be spent down over 5 years. 

## **3 Restricted funds**

|---|---|---|---|---|---|



## **Mutual Blessings** 

The Mutual Blessings grants are to be spent on promoting, training and enabling equipping churches to undertake Godly Play within their own setting and for Godly Play to be taken more into schools and elderly care settings. More information is given regarding this in note 9. 

## **Church weekend away** 

The church weekend away monies have been treated as restricted. The costs for the previous weekend were £501 more than the income received resulting in a negative fund balance. No weekends away are currently planned so this cost is being transferred to the general fund. 

## **St Tim's shared expenses** 

Joint activities with St Timothy's Crookes are currently to cover shared clergy and curate expenses. The contribution from St Tim's is considered to be a grant. 

11 



**The Vine, Sheffield Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2022** 

## **4 Endowment funds and total return investment** 

In March 2016, the PCC adopted a Total Return basis to the majority of their endowments, using the 1996 valuation. This sets the baseline value of the gift component of the endowment to which any subsequent gifts of endowment are added. The difference between the total of endowment funds as at the 1996 valuation and the value of the gift component represented the opening balance of unapplied total return. 

The power of total return permits the PCC to invest permanently endowed funds to maximise total return and to apply an appropriate portion of the unapplied total return to income each year. Until the power is exercised to transfer a portion of unapplied total return to income, the unapplied total return remains invested as part of the permanent endowment. 

The power allows the trustees to decide in each year how much of the unapplied total return is transferred to income funds and so available for expenditure. The dividend and investment income return has been applied to the general fund, to assist with ongoing maintenance work, as agreed by the PCC.
