2. 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 (1956) as amended, and Church Representation Rules that came into effect on 2 January 1957. The PCC is exempted by order from registering with the Charity Commission.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2 January 1957. At Holy Trinity the membership of the PCC consists of the Vicar, Curate, Church Wardens and members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All members of the congregation are encouraged and given opportunity to register on the electoral roll.
The trustees of the Charity are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit and have had regard to it in their administration of the Charity. The trustees believe that, by promoting the work of the Church of England in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Holy Trinity it helps to promote the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical) more effectively, within the Ecclesiastical Parish, and that in doing so it provides a benefit to the public by:
• Providing facilities for public worship, pastoral care and spiritual, moral and intellectual development, both for its members and for anyone who wishes to benefit from what the Church offers; and
• Promoting Christian values and service by members of the Church in and to their communities, to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. New members receive initial training into the workings of the PCC.
The PCC met six times during the year and average attendance was good. During the year the PCC have continued to manage the church through the COVID-19 pandemic; and kept regular oversight of all matters relating to finance, employment, health and safety, Holy Trinity Primary Academy and issues relating to the church building and its contents.
The PCC appointed a Standing Committee comprising Vicar, Church Wardens, Treasurer and a PCC member, which during 2021 was Lydia Cranston. The Standing Committee reported back to the PCC on its discussions and decisions.
The Standing Committee, on behalf of the PCC, have considered the area of Risk Management, and are satisfied that the Trustees are not being exposed un-necessarily, and will keep this under review in the future.
The PCC re-appointed Andy Cooksley in May 2021 as safeguarding officer. The PCC are very grateful to him for all the work that has done in this area. DBS checks continue to be made for those that need them. The PCC accepted the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy. Issues that have arisen during the year have been dealt with.
3. Objectives and Activities
The primary aim of the PCC is to promote the gospel and to uphold the doctrines of the Church of England.
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Holy Trinity. 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, scripture, music and sacrament.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of Holy Trinity Church. The furnishings, furniture and silverware are all in good order.
The PCC strives to ensure that activities are available for all ages, and achieves this through Sunday services and children’s groups; young people’s groups; midweek ladies and home group Bible studies; midweek Bible study at church with Holy Communion; preacher’s workshops; mission prayer meetings; Sunday evening prayer meeting.
The PCC are grateful to the large number of church members who give their time on a voluntary basis to help run and lead the various church groups and activities; who undertake practical tasks to keep the church building and outside areas clean, free of rubbish and functioning; and who help in a variety of ways to help Sunday morning services run smoothly. In particular, the PCC are grateful to all those who clean the church on a regular basis.
4. Achievements and Performance
2021 has for so many been a really challenging year as the country endured the COVID-19 pandemic. This has affected so much of church life at Holy Trinity. Church were able to meet together in person as government guidelines allowed. However, God has continued to bless Holy Trinity, and thanks to modern technology, via Zoom, church members who were unable to meet in person have enjoyed a church service every Sunday throughout the year. Extended pastoral care has been offered through house groups and by PCC members, and church members have been very good and looking out for and after each other. It was good during 2021 to have the Lighthouse groups for children meeting in person once again.
The main focus each week is the Sunday morning service at 10am – a Service of the Word and Holy Communion. During this service there are two groups for children, called Lighthouse (3-6s and 7-11s) and a crèche for under 3s. Attendance, pre COVID, varied but there are usually around 110 people in total in attendance (80 adults and 30 children).
As well as our regular service, we enable our church and wider community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and gives thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God’s keeping. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were just one wedding and two baptisms during 2021. During the year, there were 24 funeral services in church; 16 funeral services at a crematorium or cemetery; and 8 services of committal only.
Sadly, due to the pandemic, the church was unable to run the usual annual Holiday Club in February, but plans are in place for this to happen as usual in 2022. The highlight of the year for many was undoubtedly the church weekend away at The Quinta in September, which was used as a platform to re-launch our church ministry. Over 100 church members joined together for the weekend, and Tim Vasby-Burnie lead teaching sessions from 1 Peter.
During the year church members have had opportunities to study God’s Word together in small groups or in one-toone meetings.
The PCC are enormously grateful to Mark Addison, the Youth and Families Minister, for all the great work that is done amongst the children and young people, and training those who help him. During 2021 Mark completed his college course, and graduated with a first class degree, for which he is to be congratulated.
The PCC are grateful to Charlotte Darlington for all the various administrative tasks that she undertook to support the clergy and church members. Charlotte left in the summer of 2021 to head off to University, and after a short break, Jenny MacIntosh was appointed for one year to carry out this important role.
Mikey Reade continued as Ministry Trainee until July 2021 and his time was split between Holy Trinity and All Saints in Gobowen. Mikey also attended the Midlands Gospel Partnership Bible Training Course. The PCC are very grateful to Mikey for all he did during his two years as Ministry Trainee, and they wished him well as he went off to study theology at Oakhill Bible College. The PCC were delighted to offer Alice Goolden the post of Ministry Trainee from September 2021.
Holy Trinity School continued to be supported by the church with the Vicar, Curate and Mark Addison visiting the school, as they have been able, to take an assembly or run the Bible Club. One church member is currently Chairman of the school governing body. The PCC have been pleased to support the school with donations to the school hardship fund. The PCC receive a regular update on the various school activities and any issues being faced. Plans to open the Holy Trinity Community Hub at the school have been held up by on-going issues with the roof and a delay in submitting the application to the Charity Commission. It is expected that this will make good progress in early 2022.
The PCC have been kept updated regarding various matters relating to the church building. There are still unresolved issues regarding the roof of the new kitchen, and water ingress. These matters are being pursued with the contractors and architect. The latest Quinquennial Inspection was carried out in March 2018. The PCC reviews annually the architect’s report. There is nothing either immediate or in the future that the PCC was not already aware of. The fire extinguishers were serviced as usual in November. A Buildings Team has been established to oversee and undertake work to the fabric of the church and the PCC are grateful to those who give of their time and expertise in this way.
5. Financial Review
The accounts for 2021 have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
Planned giving amounted to £78,883. The general expenses of running Holy Trinity remain fairly constant.
Gift Aid received during the year amounted to £16,164 for the general fund
The PCC are grateful to the generosity of church members in giving to support God’s work at Holy Trinity. There was an encouraging response to a stewardship campaign in January 2021. The PCC are very encouraged and grateful to God that in 2021 income was sufficient to cover all expenditure. There is still a big challenge in 2022 to raise sufficient extra funds to break even.
At the end of the year the PCC had a total cash balance of £25,391 held mainly in a CAF Bank account.
During 2021 Vicar and Church Wardens continued to liaise with Oswestry School regarding the remaining land in the John Tilley estate. This land was finally sold during 2021 and the final legacy payment was received. Following legal advice, it became apparent that the John Tilley fund is held on behalf of the Vicar and Wardens of Holy Trinity Church, and not the PCC, therefore any balance should be noted on the accounts, but not included as PCC funds in the accounts. As at the end of 2021, the Tilley fund stood at just less than £350,000.
The PCC has not agreed a reserves policy, which it hopes to do in 2022. Currently sufficient funds are held to 3 months’ worth of unrestricted payments.
Mr Paul Evison of Garner Pugh and Sinclair was appointed as Independent Examiner at the APCM in 2021 and the PCC are grateful to him for the work involved in putting the accounts together.
