Objectives and activities
St Timothy’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, social and ecumenical.
St Timothy’s is part of The Diocese of Sheffield. The Diocese has been called to grow a sustainable network of Christ-like, lively, and diverse Christian communities in every place which are effective in making disciples and in seeking to transform our society and God’s world.
The PCC works towards the above Diocesan Mission Statement with its three strands: ‘Renewed, Released, Rejuvenated,’ and our Parish purpose statement ‘Passion for God. Compassion for People’
When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
Review of the year
2021, in many aspects, has been a transitional year, towards re-establishing the ministry of the Parish as the pandemic season has eased, and responding to the restructuring of the parish within the emerging joint benefice relationship with The Vine.
Amongst a turbulent time in many respects, steady rhythms have remained, including Sunday worship – in person where possible and online in any case - seasonal services and small groups (including a lent course on Zoom).
The year also saw new ventures emerge, notably the launch of Garden Church. A community gathered around Morley Street Allotments, seeking to get to know God and each other better through gardening.
St Tim’s also continued its commitment to caring for God’s creation and responding to the climate crisis by working towards, and achieving, a Bronze Award in the Eco Church scheme run by A Rocha.
Key changes in 2021
The first part of the year was dominated by the third covid lockdown. PCC suspended public worship in January, online provision continuing on Facebook and Zoom. In-person Sunday worship recommenced at Easter and this initiated a long phrase of re-establishing patterns of ministry.
July 2021 marked a significant change as the relationship between The Vine and St. Timothy’s Crookes had a step-change in closeness. While the formalities of the establishment of a joint benefice were delayed until 2022, the process of acting in partnership and collaboration increased significantly. In particular, the time of Rev Will Briggs, and newly arrived curate, Rev Amy Hole, was shared between the two parishes, and the process of aligning administrative and other systems was begun.

Personnel changes
In June we said goodbye to Rev Malcolm Lambert, who has served the church faithfully for the last three years and now begins his retirement. Rev. Amy Hole joined us as curate in July 2021, she is also licensed to The Vine. Nick Phoenix joined us as an intern in September 2021, and his time is also shared with The Vine. Following the summer, in response to Becki Porter stepping down as Children’s Minister, the recruitment process for a joint Benefice Children and Families worker, in collaboration with The Vine, was initiated by the end of the year for completion in early 2022. As ministries began their regular activities again, one key gap in provision was that of a cook for Lunch Club, as Kate Roger-Kay had been made redundant in 2020 when Lunch Club suspended in-person meetings. Natalie Sorby was appointed in November.
Towards the end of 2021, as arrangements with The Vine continued to evolve, Siobhan Melville, the administrator at St. Tim’s has taken on responsibilities that brings aspects of The Vine into her purview, and Jackie Kieran, the administrator at The Vine, has incorporated responsibilities that involve St. Tim’s.
Future plans
The formal uniting of benefice with The Vine Sheffield is now expected in May 2022. These will involve some structural changes that will reflect and build upon the alignment of ministry and administrative teams and workflows that have already emerged from the partnership between the two parishes. It will be recommended to the APCMs in both parishes that a Joint Benefice Council be formed to take responsibility for aspects of the benefice where decision-making is shared and aims are pursued jointly.
Financial Review
We are pleased to note that, despite financial pressures continuing as a result of covid across the Diocese, St Timothy’s consolidated net income for the year was £1,513, and although there was a deficit of £10,431 on unrestricted funds, this outcome was better than what we had originally budgeted and is largely thanks to the generosity of the congregation. We are pleased alongside this, we were able to continue to raise our Common Fund giving, which now stands at £78,096.
Income
St Timothy's received a total income of £175,240 in total during 2021. This was less than received in 2020 (£193,243) and is due to the lower number of one-off donations received by the Church alongside the inability to take collections during services for much of the year. Our overall planned giving from the congregation increased from 2020 by 3% to continue to support our work.
There was also a lower trading income due the inability to rent the Community Hall due to restrictions in place to slow the rate of Covid-19 during the early part of 2021.

Expenditure
St Timothy’s total expenditure for the year was £173,727, of which 45% related to our common fund giving, 23% on staffing and the remainder on our church activities, including the building and upkeep, youth and children activities and governance costs. The bulk of expenditure is paid through our unrestricted funds.
The majority of expenditure is directly apportioned into budgets and held internally by budget holders to enable them to undertake and facilitate ministry in the Parish and beyond.
Our overall expenditure decreased slightly from 2020 as we continued to monitor contracted costs and any variances to budgets closely, through the use of management accounts that are presented at each PCC meeting.
Our payroll costs decreased in 2021 due to the pandemic and certain roles not being required at the time, we fully intend to restart these roles, where funding allows.
Maintenance costs for the church building increased from the prior year due to delays in work that were required in 2020, but were delayed due to the pandemic and covid restrictions.
We continued to take collections for external organisations and distributed these as grants to charities throughout the year.
NET Position and Balance
The overall net movement in funds was £1,513, unrestricted funds had a net expenditure of £10,431 and restricted funds a net income of £11,944. The restricted funds will be expended against in 2021.
As of 31 December 2021, the total funds held by St Timothy’s had a balance of £106,395, unrestricted funds had a balance of £76,750 and restricted funds a balance of £29,645.
Costs are forecasted to increase in 2022, which will impact our unrestricted funds position, we continually look at increasing income to support our activities.
Reserves Policy
With our charity designation, it is expected that there will always remain a balance on general funds to cover any emergency or required closure of the charity. This is a minimum of £30,000. The current amount in general funds at the end of 2021, is at a level that allows us to cover this eventuality if required.
