Objectives and Public Benefit
The Pcc's objectlVe5 are laid out in a variety of statutory provision5 as applicable to all Parochial
Church Councils, as clarified from time to time in case law. Most fundamentally, the PCC has the
re5pon5ibility for co-operating with any incumbent in promoting within the eccle513Stital parish of St
Lawrence with St Nicholas the whole mission of the church, including pastoral, evangeli5tlC, social, and
ecumenical matters.
As a charity, the PCC must demonstrate public benefit, with reference to the Charity Commi55ion
guidance on public benefit, and, in particular, such supplementary guidance as exists on charities for
the advancement of religion. Accordingly, a summary of our activities is given below.
Aims and Artivities
We maintain and promote an active Christian presence in the parish of St Lawrence with St Nicholas,
open to people from acros5 York, and beyond. We seek to enable people to grow in and to live out
their faith as part of our parish community.. and we seek to reflect the joy and neighbourliness of the
Kingdom of God through our activities together. We seek to advance the Christian religion through
public access to the Sacraments, worship, prayer, and teaching,. through provision of pastoral care for
people living in the parish,. through the maintenance of a house of worship and prayer,. and through
social activities which bring people together. To @ive a few specific examples=
We ensure that public seNices are held every Sunday, both morning and evening,. and we
seek to promote these through advertising and the ringing of bells, and to be a welcoming
and open Church to th(>se who c(>me to pray with us.
We try to provide pastoral care. and means to seek the aid of God and Church when in
need, by promoting aC￿sS to personal pastoral care from clergy and13y reader5, bv

Alms and Actlvltles- contlnued
keeping the church and churchyard open for prayer and reflertion as much as possible,
and by ensuring activities and services are well advertised and accessible to all.
We organise, promote. and encourage social activities and fellowship am()nÈst both
parishioners and visitors, through the choir, bellringing, and other church activities, and,
via the operation of the Church Community Hall. The hall is regularly used for attivities
such as our Tuesday Lunch Club, coffee mornings, and our Harvest Supper., and is
maintained as a friendly and well-kept venue for diverse activities.
In order to facilitate our work, it is very important that we maintain the fabric tsf the church of St
Lawrence, and ensure that the Community Hall and the churchyard are well kept. It should be noted
that the maintenance of our fabric is part of the public benefit that we provide, as a piece of religious
testimony set in stone and glass, and through the public amenity provided by ourgrade 2 listed church
(with its 15th Century font, good collertion of 19th-20th century stained glass, and historic Denman
pipe organ) and by our churchyard la large part of which is a scheduled ancient monument and which
contains a grade I listed remnant of the medieval church of St Lawrence) visually, as a venue, and as
a heritage asset of the community and our nation.
But beyond fabric. we remember our much wider though less obviously tangible missi()n. We value
our strong connection with our parish, and the wide range of people for whom St Lawrence forms an
important part of their lives, even if they are not with us in church every Sunday. In this regard, we
Should perhap5 Particularly note our strong commitment to our link5 Wlth local 5choo15, and hope to
See thi5 link 5trerigthened in future. We value our links with and 5UPPOrt for St Lawrence's school, and
we very much appreciate the contribution of University students to our church community, and aim
to express Christian hospitality in our welcome to them.
The PCC is indebted to the many volunteers who give freely of their time and talents for the benefit
of the church.
Property
The PCC is entrusted by statute with responsibility for the maintenance and care of the church and
churchyard of St Lawrence, the freehold to which is vested in the incumbent of the benefice (during
the vacancy the sequestratorsl. The Church Community Hall is held by the York Diocesan Board of
Finance as custtsdian trustee for the administrative trustees, which are the Incumbent and the
churchwardens for the time being. The Hall is held on trust for the ordinary uses of a church
community hall as part of the mission of St Lawrence PCC. The Vicar and Churchwardens allocate the
hall rents to the PCC and the hall is managed financially in tandem with the PCCS funds and the PCC
accordingly exercise5 a general oversight over the hall and its administration. The administrative
trustees manage bookings and other day-to-day Hall matters with the assistance of the appointed Hall
Manager.

Report on actlvitles and achlevements In 2024
Public worship continues to be offered, with particular attention to the quality of music, liturgy, and
the depth of spirituality offered by the Book of Common Prayer and the catholic tradition of the
Church of England. Festival High Masses, and the Holy Week and Christma5 service5 have continued
to develop. Half-termly school services are maintained.
Ten candidates were confirmed by the Bishop of Selby on Whitsunday. In September, and for the
second year running. the premises were used by CAMRAfor a beer festival. which built on the success
of the previous year. Permissions were sought from the diocese and the local authority to make this
n annual event.
The restored church turret clock was returned by Cumbria Clocks.
In the autumn there was a successful series of guest preachers at Choral Evensong with attendance at
some of these of over 100 persons. The buildin8 Continues to be used by various organisations such
as the Rydale Festival, the Early Music Festival, York Musical Society and the Yorkshire Bach Choir.
Ourvicar, Fr Adam retired atthe end of August and we are Now in a period of vacancy. We are grateful
to those retired clergy who are kindly covering services for us. At the end of the year the PCC met
with the Archdeaton to begin the settion 11 meetings to begin the protes5 for recruiting a new
incumbent.
The late Darrell Buttery bequeathed a legacy to the church and an interim distribution was made at
the end of 2024. It is the intention to complete some major restoration projects using these funds
during 2025 including repairs of the boundary walls. and resurfacing the driveway.
Flnanclal Revlew
The balance sheet for total restricted and unrestricted funds shows an increase of £167.209 from
£8.4131deficitl at 31 December 2023 to £158,796 surplus at 31 December 2024. The main reason for
thi% increase was the receipt of 3 legacy during the year. The development loan has been fLJlly paid
off and the PCC ha5 no outstanding loans. This year again we were fortunate that collection5 and
planned giving held up well, with gifts made directly through the banking system and people giving
donations when attending church services.
A freewill offering of £5,000 was made to the York Diocese Common Fund.
Reserves
As at 31 December 2024 the church's undesignated funds was recorded as £22,745.
Unrestricted funds are limited and are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. In view of that,
the PCC is re-establishing a reserves policy.

Flnanclal prospects and future plans
The members of the PCC regularly review its financial position and are mindful of their obligations to
review and report on the charity's financial prospects. Attendance has remained stable over the
course of 2024. Its members believe that the PCC has not been in a better position for a great many
years. Necessary fabric maintenance ctsntinues to reduce in scope and therefore cost, and the recent
beerfestival has highlighted thatthe building can be used for a variety of purposes in order to generate
income and place the church at the heart of the community. Further significant investment will take
place during 2025 which will put the chLJrch, the hall and the churchyard into a good condition.
We encourage everyone to join the Parish Giving Scheme IPGSI which has streamlined the gift aid
tlaiming process. This has Continued throughout 2024 and is now the major mechanism for giving t
the parish. The work described has put the PCC in a much better position than previously to carry out
its aims and to sustain itself financially, so that its members do not believe that there need be doubt
as to the PCCS ability to continue as a going concern. The accounts have accordingly been prepared
on a going concern basis and PCC members believe that the charity remains and shall remain a 80in8
concern.
Looking to the future we hope to improve the acce55 road from Lawrence Street to the west end, the
boundary wall at the south east corner of the churchyard as well as taking forward the churchyard
rejuvenation plans for the footprint of the old church. We will also be turning our attention to the
great World War I memorial window which has been identified a5 in urgent need of repair, as well as
modernising the community hall in order that it continues to be a useable and valuable asset to the
local community and parish.
We are hoping to forge a link with Pusey House in Oxford. In recent years Pusey House has
experienced a renewal similar to us and since we share a similar churchmanship both boards of
trustees feel there may be fruit in making connections with each for mutual support and
encouragement.
We will be working with the tru5tee5 Of the Ellen Wilson Hospital a5 they complete their plans to
landscape the allotment land and put that piece of land into good order.
Finally, we will be looking at ways to increase our contribution to the Diocesan Common Fund and will
be working on a financial plan to meet our costs of stipendiary ministry.
