The Parochial Church Council of The Holy Evangelists, Hanley Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 Charity registration number: 1176032
Objectives and Activities
The Parochial Church Council (the PCC) of the Hanley Team Ministry, has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent(s) of the five Churches which it serves, namely St. Mark’s Church, Shelton with Etruria, St. Luke’s, Wellington, St. Matthew’s, Birches Head, Holy Trinity, Northwood and Christ Church, Cobridge, in the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.
The PCC meets four times during the year and is well attended at all times. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered many things for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
-
Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
-
Missionary and outreach work.
-
As well as our regular services, we enable our 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 give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping.
-
Through our mission work we are able to support charities at home and abroad and this will continue to be an active part of our worship within all of our churches. We offer support to Friends of Lichfield, North Staffs Historic Churches Trust and Church Building Soc.
-
It is becoming increasingly difficult, in the present financial climate, to pay our Parish Share/Common Fund contribution in full, but through prayer in our Lord’s goodness and the generosity of our congregations, we hope to be able to achieve this.
Public Benefit
The trustees of the PCC 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 The Holy Evangelists, Hanley 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.

Review of the year
During the past year, we have continued our pattern of Sunday services established after the ending of restrictions during the Covid pandemic and the end of our online Zoom service. This pattern of Team Eucharists at 9.30 at Christ Church, Cobridge and 11.00 at Holy Trinity seems to have settled and be well-established. The mid-week services continue with Eucharists at St. Matthew’s, Birches Head and St. Luke’s, Wellington, and Morning Prayer at Christ Church.
We have lost some valued members in the last year, but we also have newcomers who are sometimes with us for a shorter period or perhaps longer, depending on circumstances. We are an area with quite a high level of movement.
Peter Shore and Derek Durber have been sharing the music and organ playing more over the past year. We thank them both for their involvement and commitment.
During the year Julie Birkin, our Team Curate resigned. Despite our best efforts, it proved too difficult for her to continue this role. We were very sorry to lose her.
We continue to be supported by Gill Shilkoff as a SSM assistant minister in the Team. Her main focus is schools, but she also leads worship and/or preaches from time-totime. Gill has made a significant contribution to our relationships with St. Mark’s school and others in the Orchard Community Trust, especially Etruscan school, as well as revitalising connections with other schools in the parish.
Catherine Matlock has also continued to support us with various pioneering and missional initiatives. She has also worked extensively with St. Mark’s school and the Orchard Community Trust, but also on other initiatives across the parish, including the ‘Being with’ course and ‘Growing Good’, from which new thinking is emerging about how we go forward as churches in this part of the city.
We were glad that Mike Bridgewater was appointed during the year as Strategic Missioner to oversee the renewal of St. Matthew’s and St. Luke’s. New initiatives have been begun in and around those churches, as well as many individual and community connections and relationships. Mike will, no doubt, say more about this in his report.
Much of my time has continued to be taken up with the St. Mark’s ‘Under One Roof’ project, both with the community heritage activities and especially with the capital (building) side of the project. The St. Mark’s report sets this out in more detail, but there have been some challenging times and big decisions that have had to be made, as well as applying for significantly more money. This has needed considerable amounts of time and energy, especially for Sarah Bonan, the project co-ordinator and Cath Ralph, the project manager. Without them and many others, it would not have been possible to take the project forward.
I think we are over the most intense period for the capital works at St. Mark’s and are beginning to see the fruit of all that work as increasing areas of the repairs work is completed – it will become more visible as parts of the scaffolding come down. This has meant that the time commitment from me has lessened somewhat, though we now need to turn our thoughts to how to secure the future of the building as an asset to the
Page 3
community as well as a place of worship, as the Heritage Fund and other grants come to an end. This will be a focus in the coming months.
My day-to-day involvement with St. Matthew’s and St. Luke’s has lessened as Mike has taken on activities there, as well as all the new things he has been able to do. I still keep up my involvement with Christ Church and Holy Trinity, as well as taking responsibility for pastoral care, life events (baptisms, wedding and funerals), buildings, admin and governance and all the other things that go with being the official incumbent of the parish as Team Rector.
We are beginning to see some changes and opportunities in the way some of our churches moving forward, though these are early days. We must continue these new initiatives to build anew as well as continuing some of our established worship and life.
Financial Review
2023 was again a difficult year financially for the Team.
We did however manage to pay, in full the £28,245.00, which the Diocese had requested as our contribution towards the Comon Fund. This was a great effort by all our churches. By doing this, the Finance Department at the Diocese agreed to half the deficit we had. Our Common fund for 2024 has been increased slightly by £575.00 to £27,820.00. As like last year, if we pay this in full, they will write off our remaining deficit of approximately £6,000.00. Just a reminder that Rector Phillip and Team Treasurer have undertaken a written agreement with them that this will be done. We would urge our churches to please do their best to enable this to be achieved.
The Budget spending was within the figures which had been set. This was greatly helped greatly by the very generous donations, from members of our various congregations, towards the printing cost for the “In Touch” magazine.
Whilst it has been very difficult for all our churches to make ends meet, especially with the increased cost for heating and lighting, insurance of the building and others, we commend all our treasurers for their endeavour in keeping the churches running smoothly in their communities.
Reserves Policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted free reserves (net current assets) which equates to at least three months unrestricted payments. This is equivalent to £21,657 (2022 £17,087) before transfers. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of the free reserves at the year-end was £ 69,506 (2022 £65,334) which is substantially higher than this target. The PCC will be considering re-looking at their reserves policy in light of this in the future, but at present they are using it as a cushion in these uncertain times.
Safeguarding
Page 4
The PCC believe they have fulfilled their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Reporting Serious Incidents
A Serious Incident is an adverse event, whether actual or alleged, which results in or risks significant harm to the charity’s beneficiaries, employees, office holders, volunteers or to others who come into contact with the charity through its work, loss of the charity’s money or assets, damage to the charity’s property or harm to the charity’s work or reputation.
The trustees are not aware of any Serious Incidents in the last year.
Fundraising
The PCC takes its fundraising responsibilities seriously and is very grateful to all donors – whether regular or occasional – for their support of the church and church events. PCC supporters are never taken for granted. The PCC take full responsibility for fundraising and do not use commercial organisations or professional fundraisers. All money raised is either by donations, fundraising events, special appeals or legacies for which the PCC are most grateful.
Volunteers
The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our Church a lively and vibrant community. Our especial thanks go to our Parish Wardens, and District (deputy) Wardens and Parish and District Treasurers.
Risk Management
The Church Wardens carry out regular Health and Safety Reviews and regularly inspect premises for potential hazards. We have safeguarding policies in place for child protection and for work with vulnerable adults, including rigorous DBS checking of staff and volunteers. Our insurances are reviewed annually to ensure adequate cover. An informal review of any new risks which may impact the work of the Church in the Parish is ongoing.
Structure, Governance and Management
The PCC is a Body Corporate established by the Church of England and is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC is governed by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended that came into effect on 2[nd] January 1957, and the Church Representation Rules (contained in Schedule 3 to the Synodical Government Measure 1969 as amended).
The method of appointment of the PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Team Rector, any team vicars, assistant ministers and curates in post, the Parish Wardens, a representative of any Readers, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. The PCC members receive training from courses run by the Diocese. Members of the congregation are always urged to join the Electoral Roll, and to stand for election to the PCC.
Page 5
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The PCC met seven times in the year. As the Parish is constituted as a team ministry the PCC delegates such activities as are allowed by its Rule 18 Scheme to district church councils, one for each of the five churches. There is a Standing committee which has power to transact the business of the PCC between meetings subject to the direction of the PCC,
Related Parties
Donations from Related Parties

The PCC of Hanley The Holy Evangelist Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31[st] December 2023
Accounting Policies
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, and with the Regulations' "true and fair view" provisions. They have also been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of Church members.
There may be minor discrepancies in the totals as the pence are not being shown.
Cashflow Statement
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 from the requirement to produce a Cash flow statement on the grounds that the income does not exceed £500,000.
Going Concern
There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Accounting Estimates and Prior Year Errors
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.
Description of Funds
Unrestricted funds are income funds of the PCC that are available for spending on the general purposes of the PCC, including amounts designated by the PCC for fixed assets for its own use or for spending on a future project and which are therefore not included in its "free reserves" as disclosed in the trustees' annual report.
Restricted funds comprise of two elements:
a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest
b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.
Endowment funds are restricted funds that must be retained as trust capital either permanently or subject to a discretionary power to spend capital as income, and where the use of any income or other benefit derived from the capital may be restricted or unrestricted. Full details of all their restrictions are shown in the notes to the accounts.
Income
Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received or when the PCC becomes entitled to the resource and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and Legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Page 9
Expenditure
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross.
Governance and Support Costs
Support costs should be allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the PCC and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg by allocating staff costs by time spent and other costs by their usage.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts by s.10(2)(a)&(C) of the Charities Act 2011.
Moveable church furnishings held by the Vicar and Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the Church’s inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). For anything acquired prior to 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements.
Investments
Investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at market value at the year end. Investments held for re-sale are treated as current asset investments.
Debtors
Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently they are measured at cash expected to be received.
Creditors and Accruals
Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. Accruals are measured on best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date

Following a reduction in deployment from 3 to 1.5 in 2019, the Share formula was reduced, and a Special Assessment was put in place, and continues to be so. If the parish pay this assessment in full each year, they will receive a write-off of Common Fund arrears. The arrears for 2017 to 2021 have now been written off by the Diocese. The parish have paid the 2023 Common fund in full. Due to the pandemic the write off agreement was extended and is in place for 2022 and subsequent years.
