Report for Wiverton in the Vale APCM of 17 April 2023

Appendix 3a – Election of Churchwardens

Churchwardens are the senior lay representatives of the parish. The role of the churchwarden is extremely varied but generally involves management, maintenance and mission. They are the foremost in representing the laity and in co-operating with the incumbent, and they have a duty to maintain order and decency in the church and churchyard, particularly during the times of divine service. In cooperation with the incumbent, churchwardens are generally responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the parish and ensuring that appropriate safeguarding measures are established and implemented.

There are normally up to two churchwardens in a parish but, due to the distinctive nature of our ‘one parish, six churches’, we have special dispensation from the Bishop to continue with between zero and two churchwardens for each church for the time being.

Churchwardens are elected annually at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners and are elected by:

The following nominations have been received for the office of churchwarden:

Trevor Simpson St Andrew R Coles H Tabron

Report for Wiverton in the Vale APCM of 17 April 2023

Appendix 3b – Election of Deanery Synod Representatives

Each parish may elect representatives of the laity to the Deanery Synod. The number of lay representatives is dependent on the number on the Electoral Roll of the Parish. Our current entitlement is three representatives.

Elections are normally held every three years at an APCM and the elected representatives serve for a threeyear period. If a position becomes vacant during the three-year period, that position may be filled at a subsequent APCM and the successful candidate serves for the remainder of the period.

The current triennium ends on 31 May 2023. There are three vacancies to be filled.

The following nominations have been received for the office of Deanery Synod Representative to be served until 31 May 2026:

Report for Wiverton in the Vale APCM of 17 April 2023

Appendix 4 – Election of PCC Members

The PCC is the main decision maker of a parish. Its members are clergy, churchwardens and others elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) of the parish. Its powers and duties are defined by legislation.

It has the responsibility, along with the incumbent to promote the mission of God in its parish.

Legally, the PCC is responsible for the finances of the parish. It also has ultimate responsibility for the care and maintenance of all church buildings and their contents. Although these responsibilities are executed by the churchwardens, all PCC members must share in the oversight. It has a voice in the forms of Service used by the church and may make representations to the bishop on matters that affect the welfare of the parish.

All PCCs are charities. Therefore, every member of a PCC is also a charity trustee. If a PCC is a charity it must comply with the Charity Commission guidance and legislation in relation to charities.

The incumbent’s role is to provide leadership concerning safeguarding, and to encourage everyone to promote a safer church. The PCC and the incumbent have a duty of care to ensure the protection of the vulnerable in their church community.

Under the current Bishop’s Scheme, the PCC comprises: all ordained or lay ministers licensed to the parish; churchwardens; lay members of deanery, diocesan or general synods; up to two elected members per church in the parish, such that the total number of churchwardens and elected members for that church does not exceed two.

PCC members are elected at the APCM and serve for a period of three years. Members may seek reelection at the end of their term.

There are four vacancies to be filled at this meeting: Cropwell Bishop (1) Granby (1), Tythby (1), Elton (1). Those elected will serve until the APCM of 2026.

The following nominations have been received for membership of the PCC:

The Parochial Church Council of The Parish of Wiverton in the Vale

Annual Report and Accounts

Period ended 31 December 2022

Wiverton In The Vale Parochial Church Council – Registered Charity no. 1182644

Trustees’ Report

Administrative information

The Parish of Wiverton in the Vale is a single parish with six parish churches which came into being under a Pastoral Scheme effective of 1 March 2017. The parish was formerly a group of six individual parishes known as the “Wiverton Group of Parishes”. It is in the Deanery of East Bingham in the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham within the Church of England. The most recent rector, Reverend Rachel Mitchell, was instituted on 12 November 2019 and retired on 30 November 2022 after a long period of illness. The correspondence address is: The Rectory, 2 Dobbin Close, Cropwell Bishop, Nottingham NG12 3GR.

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a registered charity (no. 1182644).

Under an agreement with the Diocesan Bishop, each church community may have up to two PCC representatives each of whom may be either a Churchwarden or elected member. This agreement is in place for a period of up to five years from the date of inception of the new parish at the discretion of the Diocesan Bishop.

PCC members who have served during 2022 are as follows:

Structure, governance and management

The method of appointment of Church Wardens and PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. However, in view of the Pastoral Scheme referred to above, the Bishop’s agreement overrides this for the time being. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The role of Vice Chair of the PCC was managed on a temporary rotating basis until the formal appointment on 14/11/2022 of Edward Hine as Vice Chair.

Objectives and Activities

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the six parish churches and associated property.

Achievements and Performance

The number on the Electoral Roll in 2023 is 128, down slightly from 2022 (132).

The average weekly attendance is traditionally recorded in the month of October (which is considered nationally as a ‘typical’ month). Following on from their initiation during lockdown, we provided alternative means of worship and corporate prayer through online recorded services every Sunday and weekday Zoom services for Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer. In October 2022, we ceased the publication of entire recorded services and replaced it with just the readings and sermon from the service. The average number of ‘views’ for our October recorded sermons was 14, down from 23 in 2021, but this reflects the continued return to ‘service as normal’ throughout the year. Numbers for face-to-face attendance in October 2022 averaged 37 adults and 1children per week compared to 42 adults and 0 children for in church services in October 2021.

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our six parish churches. Throughout 2022 a weekly recorded service was offered on the website. With the easing of restrictions church services resumed in a more normal pattern, with each church hosting a monthly Holy Communion service (Granby and Elton alternated roughly once a month). Sadly throughout 2022 Revd Rachel Mitchell was on long term sick leave, with services being taken by a fantastic team of local retired clergy, lay people and one or two ‘guest’ clergy.

In line with the Diocesan vision of Growing Disciples Wider, Younger, Deeper, 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. At all times we seek to ensure that our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and Scripture, music and sacrament.

2

When planning activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable people to live out their faith as part of the wider parish community through:

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish was offered including home and hospital visits and home Communion in addition to important pastoral support through the time shared in groups and after services.

In responding to the needs of those requiring the Pastoral Offices, the Parish dealt with through 2022:

The PCC is very grateful to local retired clergy for their support and help with these important Life Events during Revd Rachel’s absence.

3

Our ecumenical relationship with Cropwell Bishop Methodists has continued through the “Joint Churches Choir” and alternating hosting services on 5[th] Sundays. Cropwell Bishop Methodist Church closed in November 2022, and the choir were pleased to sing at their poignant final service. In addition to this and their regular practices the choir were able to contribute to several services, including, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Ascension Day, Evensong and carol services in December.

Tythby Church continues to work closely with the Cropwell Butler Methodist Church to ensure their respective services do not clash. We have also started to share services on an alternate basis.

We are pleased to welcome members of other denominations who are resident in the parish (or indeed, further afield) to worship with us.

Secretary’s Report

A new PCC Secretary was appointed in January , however, due to work commitments the role could not start until the summer. Unfortunately, after a very short period the Secretary resigned in September. The role of minuting and administration was undertaken throughout 2022 by Jane Travis, the Parish Administrator. In the absence of a formal secretary at the time of writing, this report is presented by Jane Travis.

The PCC meets six times a year on a bi-monthly basis and have been held at St Andrew’s Church, Langar. Attendance has been good and has been quorate on every occasion. Each church community has a “Home Team” which takes responsibility for local matters not requiring PCC approval/permission. Where such permission is required, matters can be presented to the PCC via their representatives on the PCC. Each Home Team has permission to spend a limited amount annually, without prior PCC approval, to provide for uncontentious day to day expenses.

The Parish website (www.wivertoninthevale.co.uk) is actively managed and provides comprehensive and regularly updated information about services, events and news in the parish and diocese. Subscribers, of whom there are 96, receive email updates whenever new material is added to the site. This service has proved indispensable in providing information and access to services and sermons to those unable to attend church in person. All procedures regarding storage of personal data are compliant with GDPR legislation.

An updated notice sheet was produced throughout 2022 on a fortnightly basis. This includes an inspirational address/ reflection and prayers as well as dates and other information. In addition to being uploaded to the website, printed copies are delivered to those requesting them. 26 households receive these on a regular basis, typically older people without access to online information. Feedback suggests that this contact is much appreciated.

Our Rector (and PCC Chair) was on long term sick leave throughout 2022. During this period of sick leave, PCC meetings and the APCM (on 24/05/2021) were chaired on a rotation basis by a temporary Vice-Chair until the appointment of a new Vice Chair in November 2022.

All members of the PCC have undertaken the required safeguarding training at basic and foundation level and several have also undertaken the Awareness of Domestic Abuse training which is now a requirement for all members of the PCC. Churchwardens, Katharine Bacon (LLM), Rosie Dulwich (PSO) and Vivien Hall have also undertaken Leadership safeguarding training. Safeguarding Dashboard is used regularly and the plan for increasing the training across the parish for volunteers and helpers is progressing well.

Financial Review the year ended 31 December 2022

(by Phil Stephenson, Treasurer)

In my first full year as treasurer of the Wiverton in the Vale PCC I firstly wish to express my thanks to my predecessor, Max Jordan, for his guidance and support both prior to me taking up the roll and since.

Yet again the Covid Pandemic restrictions and the legacy effects together with rising inflation, in particular the cost of energy, have given us challenges in generating income sufficient to cover outgoings. Total normal income for the year amounted to £124,864 (Last year £145,164) against expenditure £121,913 (£120,628) and our investments accrued an unrealised loss of £28,694 (gain of £30,507).

The Parish continues to meet 100% of the allocated parish share payment which for 2022 amounted to £70,152 (£66,156).

During the year, repairs to Granby Church pinnacle costing £2,801 and Tythby Organ costing £1,440 were carried out. In addition to minor maintenance/repairs to other churches.

We are extremely grateful for the following organisations and the many local people who provided financial support:

The Chetwode Foundation, Langar cum Barnstone Parish Council, Cropwell Bishop Parish Council, National Grid and Caring for Creation.

Reserves Policy

The General Unrestricted Funds at the year-end amounted to £69,036 (£78,979). The decrease is largely due to most churches in the parish now making regular transfers (£1,300 per month) to a designated Fabric Fund to meet ongoing minor repairs. Post Balance Sheet Events

Overall finances remain strong with Unrestricted funds of £63,614 at 31 March 2023 and we will continue to meet all our liabilities for the foreseeable future. There are no anticipated liabilities pending that we are not able to meet.

Report on Services, Worship, Teaching and Mission

(by Jane Travis, Parish Administrator)

Once again, the Parish is incredibly grateful for the support, hard work, dedication and commitment of everyone who has worked so hard to keep our services and the work of the Parish going during the long period of Revd Rachel’s sick leave and now, the interregnum.

The practice of recording a live service and posting on the website continued , offering access to services for those unable to attend in person. Given the limited human resource available, from October the sermons and readings only were recorded and posted, reducing the time taken to edit. Many in the Parish have continued to appreciate the recorded online services as well as the very welcome return to in church services in all churches through the year. The retired clergy and LLMs in the Parish, as well as a few guest clergy, have done an amazing job of covering the numerous services across all churches with grace, dedication, and enthusiasm for which we are all very grateful. As a Parish it is increasingly important that we are mindful of their health and wellbeing and ensure that we are not placing too heavy a burden on them.

The pattern of worship agreed across the Parish reflects the fine balance of managing the human resource we have available with the desire for services in each village. For the purpose of scheduling, two of the smaller churches (Elton and Granby) are considered as a single unit. Each ‘church’ hosts at least one service a month. Holy Communion is celebrated at a church somewhere in the parish each Sunday and we also offer a variety of traditional and informal services throughout the church year.

Zoom morning prayer was offered throughout the year to the Parish on Monday and Friday mornings. An evening prayer service on two Fridays a month were provided until the end of October when this was paused .

Parishioners have continued to be vigilant about Covid infections and hand hygiene and wearing of masks continued by individual preference, increasing the confidence of those attending.

Between January and March Holy Communion services continued throughout the Parish with the addition of a couple of evensongs and morning worship. Two baptisms also took place.

The Parish joined in with the Deanery Lent course on zoom led by Stephen HippisleyCox, Area Dean. April and May were busy months including ten baptisms. The full range of Easter and Holy week celebrations resumed with a Maundy Thursday service with singing led by the Joint Churches Choir, a pilgrimage from Cropwell Bishop via Colston Bassett to Langar on Good Friday, a sunrise Easter Sunday service at the

6

ruined church in Colston Bassett followed by breakfast, and Holy Communion services in two churches.

Informal lay-led Family Praise services followed by afternoon tea resumed every couple of months in Cropwell Bishop and Colston Bassett saw the resumption of their monthly morning worship services including a Pet Service, Thanksgiving service, Mothering Sunday, and a Father’s day service in the local pub, The Martin’s Arms.

Despite being peak holiday time in July and August the Parish had seven baptisms and hosted the Mayor of Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Civic Service at St Andrew’s Church, Langar.

Special services and prayer opportunities were offered in all six churches following the death of Her Majesty, The Queen in September. Harvest Festival was celebrated as one Parish and in some of the individual churches too through September and October.

A reflective All Souls Service was held in early November. Remembrance services took place in four churches when wreaths were laid by representatives from local Parish Councils, British Legions and representatives from different scout sections, ie scouts, cubs and beavers.

A Parish Refresh Day was held in November, facilitated by Revd Canon Richard Kellett, themed on ‘By the Lakeside with Jesus’. The day offered an opportunity to look back at where we have come over the last three years, what has been achieved in challenging circumstances, where we hope to go and what we are looking for in a new vicar. Reflections from the day helpfully have fed into the new Parish Profile in our search for a new vicar in 2023.

In December Cropwell Bishop hosted Bishop Paul and people from across the Diocese for an early morning service as part of the Diocesan Day of Prayer initiative. Hot coffee and pastries were very welcome after the service. Advent and Christmas were celebrated with Christmas Cheer in Granby and a host of carol services in each church, often with singing led by the Joint Churches Choir. A Christingle and tree decorating service and the annual crib service at Cropwell Bishop were well attended with many of the families now attending Baby Club on a Friday morning. We again hosted the Mayor and her guests from across the local area at a candlelit carol service in St John’s Church, Colston Bassett.

Langar Primary School held several services throughout the year in St Andrew’s Church, Langar at Easter, Harvest, Remembrance and Christmas as well as their annual leaving service for the Year 6 pupils in July. For the first time two classes from

7

Cropwell Bishop Primary School held a carol service in St Giles’, Cropwell Bishop. The Joint Churches Choir also led carol singing in one of the local pubs in Cropwell Bishop.

Alpha Course, Pastoral Network and School Contacts, including Langar Church of England School

Langar Primary School regularly use St Andrew’s Langar for services and activities throughout the year. Once again Cropwell Bishop Primary School made use of St Giles’ Church, with Hilary Tabron and Ann Mansell preparing and leading two afternoon sessions to cover the National Curriculum requirements as requested for two different age groups.

Colston Bassett, Cropwell Bishop and Langar home groups continued to meet in person. Sadly, deaths of long serving members of the Langar group have resulted in depleted numbers this year.

Coffee, cake and chat developed and grew in number in St Giles, Cropwell Bishop with a regular core group including some bellringing from the area attending. A project to embroider new cushion covers for pews has proved a popular activity. A group of mums/ carers of young babies and toddlers started to meet, developing into a new Baby Club on a Friday morning run by parents, with help on welcome and refreshments from church attenders. Several of the families have since attended family praise services and requests for baptisms have followed which is encouraging.

Pop-up Café resumed in Langar on a monthly basis and has been well supported, so much so that the café continued through the winter months. The Brownies Group are also meeting in church at Langar while a new Village Hall is being built.

Both Cropwell Bishop and Langar churches are designated as Warm Welcome, Warm Spaces.

Moth mornings took place in two of the church yards in July, where villagers gathered early to see what moths had been collected and enjoyed coffee and croissants as a reward for the early start! Since then the Parish has signed up to Eco Church and a small working group are progressing this important initiative, including applying for a grant for bird boxes etc.

Two Alpha courses started in September in Cropwell Bishop and Colston Bassett, though numbers were small two people have gone on to join the congregation in Cropwell Bishop.

Once again parishioners engaged enthusiastically with a number of outreaches and appeals through the year:

8

Vivien Hall organised a Christmas Shoebox appeal for needy children in Eastern Europe, also drawing in Cropwell Bishop Youth Club to support this. Over 104 boxes were donated. Thanks again to everyone for their hard work and steadiness in these very difficult times. We continue to pray as the Parish prepares a new Parish Profile and starts its search for a new vicar in 2023. This Annual Report was approved by the PCC on 0410412023 and signed on their behalf by: Edward Hine, Vice-chair of the PCC

Parish of Wiverton in the Vale

Report on Fabric, Goods and Ornaments For the APCM 17[th] April 2023

Author: Hilary Tabron

Churchwardens or PCC reps from each of the churches within this Parish have covered these matters in the reports through 2022 from their particular ‘home’ church, with log books and terriers reported as being up to date. The terrier/inventory for St Michael’s and All Angels, Elton has not yet been located following the death of Mary Mackie, but it is believed to be in her extensive papers which still need to be sorted.

Matters other than routine maintenance and checks are highlighted below, including those which are ongoing or needing attention into 2023:

Faculty applications Have been submitted for i) rebuilding of collapsed sections of the retaining wall at the east end of the churchyard, and ii) work in the tower to reduce the noise level in the ringing chamber to acceptable levels, and List B permission awaited for the repairs to the vestry roof.

Preparations towards work recommended on drainage and rainwater goods, followed by

decoration, remain outstanding. Work on other anticipated improvements will follow.

A huge debt of gratitude is owed to all who help to maintain our churches by practical or administrative means, including non-PCC members. The tasks, often overlooked or behind the scenes, can sometimes seem onerous, so it is helpful to remind ourselves that by looking after and improving our buildings we look after God’s people, and also that how we deal with various buildingsrelated people will speak of how we live our lives as Christian people, and can be an effective witness.

East Bingham Synod Annual Report

2022

East Bingham Deanery Synod met on February 17th (via zoom), June 23rd and October 20th (via zoom). Although again we met by zoom more than in person, we began to enter a renewal phase as we considered how we emerge from the period of the pandemic. The process of Parish Refresh was launched and emphasising the importance of prayer, and Stephen introduced a regular monthly evening prayer service via zoom. We were then well represented at the regular monthly Diocesan Day of Prayer events established in the Autumn to pray for the Parish Refresh process.

Revd Rachel Mitchel retired from the Wiverton group on ill health grounds. We wish Rachel and her husband Sid many years of healthy retirement. Sadly Colin Slater, who had regularly reported to us in the past on General Synod business, has passed away and will be greatly missed. Stephen encouraged us to read the standardised reports now circulated by Jubilee House, and to follow General Synod business directly via this General Synod link or Twitter and YouTube. The deanery visited Southwell Minster and shared in a wonderful sung evensong celebrating the festival of Christ the King.

Learning Hub

Jubilee House regularly advertises courses that can be found here ‘The Learning Hub’- our own local ones as well as those run by Jubilee House and others. We were encouraged to explore some of the courses available. Across the deanery we have held a ‘Pastoral Principles’ course, ‘God’s Story’ as well as Alpha.

The Mustard Seed prayer group has been meeting faithfully throughout the year, in winter choosing churches which are already in use during the week so as not to increase heating costs. Coordinated by Lesley, everyone is encouraged to join in these monthly prayer meetings, and to send in any prayer requests to the administrator to share with the group.

The Standing Committee can co-opt members and is looking for representatives from the benefices Wiverton, Tollerton and Keyworth in order that every benefice is represented. We were pleased to appoint Lesley Haig as our Lay Chair, and she and she looks forward to getting to developing her role in the coming year. Unfortunately, Anne Henderson stepped down after having been Deanery Treasurer since 2019. We thank her for her work over those years.

Deanery Share: The Deanery paid £540011 (82.7%) of its overall share apportionment (£652606) in 2022, with 10 parishes (of 28) paying their share in full. This is close to the 83% paid across the whole Diocese, and a smaller percentage than we achieved last year. Stephen stepped in to lead the deanery share arrangements, which were as a result a little later being distributed than is usual. Stephen reminded us there is always enough money for the things God wants us to do, but that we need to discern what that is!

East Bingham Synod Annual Report

2022 by Katharine Bacon, Deanery Representative

East Bingham Deanery Synod met on February 17[th,] June 23[rd] and October 20[th ] via Zoom when necessary. We have continued in our aim of working closely together, cooperating across parishes and benefices and building relationships, despite the impact of Covid. Opening courses run by individual parishes to others in the deanery broadens our experience and makes courses viable even in smaller churches. The Area Dean ran the ‘Pastoral Principles Course’ via zoom for the deanery. The deanery visited Southwell Minster sung evensong for Corpus Christi and the festival of Christ the King. Colin Slater used to report back from general Synod and his sad death was acknowledged. The General Synod called for a strong strategy to combat racial inequality. Stephen Gelsthorpe was thanked for his loyal service as Lay Chair over several years and several Area Deans.

Prayer was seen as especially important now that the Wider, Younger and Deeper Vision is coming to its end and needs to develop into something more. Monthly Parish Refresh prayer and Diocesan ‘Days of Prayer’ were introduced in October and the Area Dean’s monthly Evening Prayer came to an end so that we could join in the Diocesan Day of Prayer.

The Learning Hub is available to all for courses online and in situ.

Vacancies The same vacancies stood – Tollerton and Plumtree, with Wiverton in the Vale becoming vacant in December as Rev Rachel Mitchell retired through ill health. Vacancies are an ideal time to address parish share problems so that new appointees can concentrate on mission.

The Mustard Seed prayer group has been meeting faithfully throughout the year, in winter choosing churches which are already in use during the week so as not to increase heating costs. Coordinated by Lesley, everyone is encouraged to join in these monthly prayer meetings, and to send in any prayer requests to the administrator to share with the group.

Deanery Synod Lay Chair Lesley Haig was elected as Lay Chair. We all thank Steve for all the tremendous work he has done for the Deanery.

Deanery Treasurer Anne Henderson has stepped down so the position is now empty.

Deanery Share: We pay less than other deaneries but are still in deficit.

Safeguarding Report for the Wiverton APCM 17 April 2023 By Rosie Dulwich, PSO

Since the last APCM there have been two matters of concern reported on which we continue to liaise with the diocese but there has been no escalation required and we are satisfied that there has been no increased or additional cause for concern.

There have been two further issues in which the Diocese has been involved. The first involved an allegation over the suitability of an individual to be involved in certain activities in view of the alleged imposition of a restraining order.

The PSO carried out background enquiries and was satisfied that the allegation was unsubstantiated and subsequent investigation by both the Diocesan Team and external agencies confirmed that. No further action was necessary and it is believed that the allegation was made in error but in good faith and not maliciously.

The other issue relates to standard policy on ex offenders and is precautionary and not related to any concern .

It is pleasing that so many of our volunteers have undertaken safeguarding training and that there is a real commitment within the Parish. The PSO would very much like to thank the PCC for their support and, in particular to thank our Parish Administrator for her continued input and help with Safeguarding Training

Safeguarding Action Plan

Level 2

Introduction

The Church of England’s safeguarding policy statement, Promoting a Safer Church , says:

“All Church bodies should ensure that they have a ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ action plan in place that sets out, in line with national and local priorities, how the policy is being put into action and is reviewed regularly.”

This Action Plan has been produced by an application called Safeguarding Dashboards for the consideration of the PCC.

The PCC is invited to discuss, amend and approve this Action Plan.

Safeguarding Dashboards has three levels:

Level 1 - Safer Foundations; Level 2 - Safer Activities; Level 3 - Safer Practices.

Further information about these levels can be found at... https://tinyurl.com/roadmap-safeguarding

This Level 2 Action Plan only covers Safer Foundations and Safer Activities.

Safeguarding Dashboards can also produce a Level 3 Action Plan once sufficient progress has been made at Level 2.

Date approved by the PCC: ____
