St. Mary’s Mission

To the glory of God in Chaddesden, every member a follower of Jesus, every follower leading others’ to Jesus.

Objectives and activities

The PCC (St. Mary’s Parochial Church Council) as trustees of the charity of St. Mary’s, work with the incumbent, to achieve the goals of the charity. As a charity, we are required by the Charity Commission to demonstrate our public benefit.

Our mission is worked out in the following aims:

a) The provision of facilities and times for public worship and prayer and also weekly opening for historical interest and prayer. b) Teaching and training of those who desire, as members of St. Mary’s, to follow Jesus and his teachings. c) The provision of trained people for sharing the teaching and history of the Christian religion within varied contexts, including church services, school assemblies, and individual situations as the community requires or requests. d) The provision of spiritual and emotional pastoral care for all people living in the parish, as requested, where possible.

e) The general improvement in social life and well-being in Chaddesden through the provision of people and services dedicated to the public benefit, as we bless those around us with the blessings God has given us.

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church. The Memorial Hall is governed by a second charitable trust.

Achievements

a) The provision of facilities and times for public worship and prayer and also weekly opening for historical interest

Through the year, St. Mary’s opens its doors to the public twice on a Sunday: 10:00am for a family-oriented service of worship with Sunday School provision, and 6:30pm for a quieter service.

There are a number of events run in the church for the community such as Memorial services, Christingle, Carols by Candlelight, Easter Celebrations, as well as weddings and funerals.

The church building is typically opened by a team of volunteers each Saturday morning for 2 hours, for anyone to visit and see the history in this beautiful 14[th] Century, Grade 1 listed church.

b) Teaching and training of those who desire, as members of St. Mary’s to follow Jesus and his teachings

The electoral roll for St Mary’s Chaddesden holds 91 names of which 61 are residents within the parish and 30 are non-residents.

We have had 5 new members added to the roll and 3 names removed. This is correct as of the 30th of April 2022.

NB. The Average Weekly Attendances for 2021 are based on the average weekly attendances for October rather than the whole of 2021.

c) The provision of trained people for sharing the teaching and history of the Christian religion within varied contexts, including church services, school assemblies, and individual situations as the community requires or requests

As well as the vicar and readers, we employ a Youth & Families Minister who is engaging with the local schools and is much appreciated by them. The staff team are also involved in the local neighbourhood board. We partner with local organisations with regards to children, safeguarding and community work in Chaddesden.

In recent years, St Mary’s has been involved with teaching the R.E. syllabus at all our local primary schools These have included lessons on Christmas, Easter and “Signs and Symbols” lessons in the church building. We have also been part of the Christmas celebrations for our local primary schools. Each of these primary schools has been provided with termly assemblies by our assembly team which are always well received and looked forward to. Our Youth and Families Minister normally runs a weekly Christian Union at the secondary school, but during the pandemic, these were put on hold.

We normally also put on a range of events where the local community is invited to.

d) The provision of spiritual and emotional pastoral care for all people living in the parish, as requested, where possible.

Things are gradually getting back to normal following lockdown and we have provided people and facilities for 18 funerals. We have provided and offered low-level bereavement counselling to all families involved in funerals. This year we have had 3 weddings at St Mary’s.

We provide a member of clergy for a small number of pastoral crises for people in the local community who do not attend church. Such situations often involve mental health issues, for which we are professionally trained and offer for free.

e) The general improvement in social life and well-being in Chaddesden through the provision of people and services dedicated to the public benefit.

This is an area we continue to improve through involvement in the Neighbourhood board, school Governing bodies, Friends of Chaddesden Park, The Big One event. For a few years we have run a food bank which has gone to local charities. We will explore in future whether this remains a useful way of serving our community as in previous years we discovered a number of issues with out-of-date donations and distributions problems.

Our wardens and vicar are also responsible for the running of a separate trust, directly linked to the life and work of St. Mary’s, which guards the work of the Church Memorial Hall.

The Hall provides space at a subsidized cost for a play group for most of the week. It is also used by the church Youth Group, Sunday School, a Women’s Fellowship Group, Brownies, Guides and Rainbows organisations.

There are eight home groups and a youth group within the church who meet on a regular basis, primarily to study God's word and these involve between 70 and 80 members of the congregation. These groups meet to study the Bible together but also to support their members as they live out their Christian lives.

The PCC wish to acknowledge the continued work that is carried out by many volunteers without which things would look very different. We especially thank those who perform some of the tasks that often go unnoticed such as cleaning the church, preparing refreshments and church maintenance together with those who provide technical support during the services.

Financial Review

The treasurer is given the responsibility by the vicar, wardens, deputy wardens and PCC of looking after the money of the church family. The PCC is a charity under law, and we seek to be as godly with the money as possible. Our aim is to help St. Mary’s afford to do all the work God gave the church.

Total Receipts

Total receipts from all areas in 2021 were £82,884 (£87,725 in 2020).

Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £77,876 (£68,706 in 2020 and £76,366 in 2019) and are detailed in the financial statements. This shows an overall increase of 13% in unrestricted income. This increase is mainly due to St Mary’s being able to offer Weddings and funerals again following lockdown. Income from the bookstall was down again in 2021 -6% (£27). Voluntary giving increased from £66,562 in 2020 to £69,642 in 2021 (+5%).

In the break-down of where that voluntary giving money came from we find the following: Regular giving by:

Payments

In 2021 we spent £100,386 (£108,139 in 2020) to provide the Christian ministry from St. Mary's, including a contribution to the Diocese Common Fund of £45,000.

We were not able to pay the full £50,399 Common Fund requested by the Diocese of Derby. The PCC agreed to pay the same Common Fund amount as that paid in 2020 which was £45,000.

Unlike previous years, we didn’t have any items of high expenditure in 2021.

Our 3[rd] largest expenditure, after Common Fund and Staff Costs, was Giving to Missions. We were truly blessed to be able to give £1,091.52 to each of our Mission Partners.

We spent £6,046 on Church Building Utility Costs and paid £3,866 in Diocesan Fees for Weddings and Funerals.

Deficit in the Accounts

From the 2021 accounts there was a deficit on ordinary unrestricted and non-designated funds for the year of £3,064. In 2020 the deficit was £2,871.

Charitable Giving

It is a massive privilege to be able to support the work of the Gospel in Chaddesden and beyond.

Designated Funds

The designated church restoration fund stands at £443. The Church Restoration Fund (CRF) represents monies designated towards the cost of major church restoration costs, over and above the day-to-day maintenance work. This fund was earmarked to pay towards the roof project and may be closed to repay some of the reserves we paid.
