Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Report for the year 2021

The first sentence in last year's Annual Report for the Trustees stated "To say 2020 has been a strange year would be an understatement". At the time it seemed unconceivable that the report for 2021 could start with exactly the same sentence, but Covid 19 has continued to have a dramatic effect on the world, our country, our church congregation and our planning of services. Thankfully in 2021 we have had Anne-Marie, our Rector, to guide us through another very difficult year. As wardens we and I am sure the Standing Committee and PCC also are very grateful for her help and wisdom navigating the church through such a difficult time.

At all times the safety of the congregation has been uppermost in our minds in the planning and decisions that have been made. With social distancing in mind, we have retained the system of numbered pews with ticks and crosses, and it was only in July the "fogging" machine was retired. The scheme of using alternate pews has again worked well and kept people safe. There is one advantage of having a draughty church, the virus is unable to thrive.

Despite Covid we have had a full year of church activities and made some new introductions as well.

At the beginning of February, a Wednesday evening discussion / prayer group started meeting on Zoom. This is a relaxed gathering, hosted by Anne-Marie, starting with informal chat and moving on to a Bible study or a time of contemplation or prayer. The Lent sessions were particularly interesting and well received.

On Mother's Day willing volunteers delivered posies of flowers to ladies around the parish and wider area, including Astbury Mere Care home. The response to this simple act was overwhelming gratitude.

It was a joy to be able to have Easter services in church this year as at Easter 2020 all churches were closed. To celebrate the church re-opening we employed a professional cleaning company to thoroughly clean through the church and we are grateful to the anonymous gifts that paid for this.

The traditional Stripping of the Altar service took place on Maundy Thursday and Three Hours before the Cross on Good Friday.

On Easter Saturday evening a Service of the Light took place. A brazier was lit outside church from which the Paschal candle was lit and brought into church for the start of the service.

At the start of April, it was noticed some wood debris had fallen from the roof in the north isle and on the advice of our architect, scaffolding was erected, and a specialist firm contacted. We were all very thankful that it was not a major problem, and a local firm were able to repair the damage.

At the passing of H.R.H. Prince Phillip on April 9th the church was open over the weekend of the 10th and 11th to enable people to sign a book of condolences. Many expressed their gratitude for the opportunity.

At the Annual Parish Meeting in May I was delighted when Margaret Springle was elected to be a churchwarden, a problem shared is a problem halved and we have been working well together.

It is said "Better late than never". As a result of Covid restrictions, it took a year to happen but on June 27th Revd Ann-Marie Naylor was finally inducted as Rector of Astbury and Vicar of Smallwood. The service was conducted by the Ven. Ian Bishop, Archdeacon of Macclesfield and Revd Steve Clapham, our Rural Dean. It was a lovely service and a joy at last to have Anne-Marie officially in post. Again, because of Covid, the numbers able to attend had to be much reduced and we were unable to gather for any form of celebration party afterwards……. one day!

The building project is alive and well and progress is being made. Although Covid robbed us of the planned weekend away, a PCC vision day was held in the Village Hall in late July. Members discussed their thoughts and ideas for the future of St. Mary's in general terms, not just the building itself but how the future of the church can be guaranteed and established in the wider community. It was a very productive day with lots of very good ideas and a general agreement on the way forward.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

At the end of September Mrs Brenda Cook arranged a coach trip around several local churches that have had major building works done. This proved an educational and interesting day out, looking at how change can be achieved tastefully in historic churches.

In early December we had a site visit from the DAC (Diocesan Advisory Committee) to enable them to visualise our hopes and plans for the church interior. In general, their comments were positive and encouraging. The next step is for the architect to draw up more detailed plans.

At this point Mr Sam Elbeik offered the church his experience in project management to lead the plan onward. He is now setting up numerous small working parties to assist him with the task.

We were fortunate that the sun shone when a joint benefice Pet Blessing service was held once again in the grounds of Somerford Chapel at the end of August. It was well attended by both a two and four legged congregation.

Evening services were able to resume in September, with a calendar of Evensong, Compline, Taize and Sung Eucharist each month.

As part of the Remembrance Sunday commemorations this year, the ladies of Astbury Women's Institute knitted between 800 and 900 poppies which were then attached to netting and suspended from the rood screen making a fantastic and moving tribute to all the fallen.

The Toddler group was able to restart again on Wednesdays in the Village Hall just before Christmas and has been well supported. Anne-Marie is able to join us for stories and songs at the end of the session. Also, on Wednesdays staff and pupils from Astbury school come into church in the afternoon. With the easing of Covid restrictions, parents are now encouraged to join in the service.

An innovation this year has been the introduction of a marriage preparation day for couples planning their wedding at St. Mary's. Led by Anne-Marie, the morning is spent in the Village Hall looking at starting and maintaining a good and healthy marriage. Lunch follows in the Egerton Arms followed by a time in the church. These days have been appreciated by all who have taken part so far and it is intended they will become regular calendar events.

As part of our ongoing plan to open the church up for more than worship on Sundays, a series of concerts were held in the summer. We were delighted to welcome back Archie Halward who performed a short program of songs, his stunning voice filling the whole church. The Nantwich Singers performed twice with varied programmes, and we also had a very enjoyable evening listening to Tonik, duo of singers and their accompanists.

It is our hope that in 2022 more musical events can be held and become a way to raise funds for the church.

The Christmas season we feel was a success. The Astbury Live Nativity returned over two nights, albeit in a slightly changed format. In the past it had started in church and finished at Glebe Farm, this year it was reversed, but fortunately the Roman Centurion, grumpy Inn keeper, shepherds and wise men appeared in the correct order, and we welcomed 300 people into church. A manger had been built in the Nave where Mary, Joseph and the Baby sat. The church was in darkness except for spotlighting on the Nativity scene. A magnificent 20ft. Christmas tree had been placed in church and decorated with 100 meters of lights. Many thanks to the willing volunteers who somehow succeeded in these tasks. The tree looked stunning, and we should also extend our thanks for the gift of the tree. The two nights raised over £800.00.

Congleton High School returned for their Christmas service with 600 pupils, not the usual 1,200, and Astbury School had their Nativity service in church.

Advent and Carol Services with readings and carols were held with a welcome return of the church choir. A Crib service, Midnight Communion, 8am and 10am completed our Christmas celebrations.

There has been a slow but steady rebuilding of our church congregation as the pandemic has lessened but many are still nervous about returning to church. The drop in numbers over the last 18 months has, and is still, having a detrimental effect on church finances. In addition, we have been unable to hold our usual fund-raising events. The church reserves are dwindling fast and there is an urgency to start fund raising again.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

The old and new churchyards are kept well maintained thanks to regular attention from the Community Payback Probation volunteers and Simon Hopkin from Well Grounded, and we again pass on our thanks to them. Also, we would like to thank the willing teams who clean the church, the brasses and arrange the flowers so beautifully each week. We are very blessed to have so many willing helpers at St. Mary's. Thank you all.

We are fortunate that we believe that the fabric of the church to be sound and hope that the Quinquennial survey in due in 2022 will prove this so.

Committees of the PCC : The Rector is ex officio Chairman of all Committees of the PCC.

Standing Committee: the Rector, Mr Hulse, Mrs Springle, Dr Drage, Mr Ball, Mrs Barnett and Mrs Cook. This is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. [No such direction has been given by the Council.]

Astbury & Smallwood Parish News : The Rector, Mr Ball, Mr Hulse and Mrs Cook.

The PCC are especially grateful for all the continued support, wise counsel and hard work of the Patron of the Living, Sir Richard Baker Wilbraham and the Ven Ian Bishop, Archdeacon of Macclesfield.

The PCC believe that they have complied with their duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (a duty to have regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).

The new electoral roll (made in 2019, with 134 names) was revised and on 31st December 2021 contained 137 names.

The Deanery Synod comprises all the clergy, together with lay representatives, from all the parishes in Congleton Deanery. The Revd Steve Clapham continued as Rural Dean and Mr William Ball continued as Lay Chairman of the Synod. The Synod met only once during the year, on 21st October at Christ Church, Alsager, for a "catch-up" meeting after the pandemic.

John Hulse, Margaret Springle Churchwardens

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern

The trustees have considered the potential impact of COVID-19 on the principal activities of the charity and they believe that they have sufficient resources in place to operate for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
