Administrative Information
All Hallows Church is situated in the Hyde Park area of inner-city Leeds. It is part of the Diocese of Leeds within the Church of England. The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. The PCC is a Registered Charity, number 1184558.
The appointment of PCC members is governed by and set out in the Church Representation Rules. PCC members are elected at All Hallows’ Annual Parochial Church Meeting by those members of the congregation who are on the Electoral Roll. All those who are members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. PCC members are provided with an induction and are offered appropriate training. The PCC met 7 times in 2022.
Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which include worship planning, building, asylum, fundraising, Rainbow Junktion, are all responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with updates of their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary.

Aims and purposes
All Hallows PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Parish Priest, the Reverend Heston Groenewald, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish of All Hallows, the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has responsibility for the church building of All Hallows, and all those organisations and individuals who share our space.
Objectives and activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at All Hallows. 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. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities 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.
To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church building.
Achievements and performance
Loving God: Worship and Prayer
We have settled into an encouraging post-covid pattern of worship, with a growing number of people in church for Sunday morning services and a simultaneous Facebook live-stream for anyone who can’t join us in person. Our regular home groups and Bible study groups continue to meet and to grow.
We continue to be as diverse and inclusive as possible in our worship, which means a wonderful variety of people sharing their distinctive gifts with the wider community. Worship is occasionally all-age, and we try to maintain a range of prayer and musical styles.
In 2022 our Electoral Roll numbered 83, and well over 100 adults and 20 children call themselves members of All Hallows. Our worshipping congregation continues to grow at a steady, sustainable rate. Live-streaming our services has enabled us to reach a larger number of people from around the city (and the world!) which has helped to spread All Hallows’ work and witness.
Our pattern of joint worship with the ‘Headingley and All Hallows Team’ churches St Chad’s and St Michael’s, continues to develop. This year the team has worshipped together, run joint events and shared an Advent course.

We were thrilled to welcome back The Sacred Wing LGBTQI+ choir for their Christmas concert - which felt extra joyful and beautiful after the enforced covid break.
Loving Ourselves: Pastoral Care and Ecumenical Relations
We are a very sociable church, which helps our pastoral life to be naturally inclusive. Our ‘Rainbow Group’ intentional friendship/pastoral care system has developed through the year; this has found traction with some but not all – and in different ways for different groups.
We equip ourselves pastorally and theologically to support and love our LGBTQI+ neighbours – both within and beyond our congregation. Many people find us through the Inclusive Church Directory. We had a presence at Pride Sunday and our local Pride Parkrun, and became official supporters of the Campaign for Equal Marriage in the Church of England. All Hallows continues to be a vital LGBTQI+ link between people inside and outside the wider Church.
We continue to be a Student Christian Movement link church, and support SCM’s life in various ways. We work closely with the Universities Chaplaincy and Student Unions at both Leeds Beckett and Leeds universities. We are blessed with growing numbers of students joining in and enriching our worship, café, community and campaigning life.
We continue to campaign with and support various asylum-seeker friends. Our support includes befriending and accompanying, and raising funds for general and specific financial needs.
Ecumenically, our friendships continue with Baptist, Methodist and other Anglican neighbours in Hyde Park. Our vicar shared or swapped pulpits with various ecumenical clergy colleagues this year.
We continue to host ordinands, and others exploring vocations, for both formal and informal placements.
Loving our Neighbours as ourselves: Outreach and Community Relations
All Hallows’ life continues to look outward in various ways. We equip ourselves to engage missionally with daily life, through regular reflections on ‘God with us in daily life’. We campaign in solidarity with various minority and/or marginalised groups; on issues of social and climate justice; and human rights. We continue to root ourselves in the life of our parish, and work hard to build community with and amongst our diverse, fascinating Hyde Park neighbours.
Covid and the cost of living crisis have hit our community hard. This has meant our community café and foodshare, Rainbow Junktion, has continued to grow and adapt to meet the needs and struggles of our neighbours. We remain open 3 days per week: serving 3-course ‘Pay What You Can’ lunches to 60-100 people twice weekly, and once weekly offering take-away hot meals, groceries and household essentials to 120+ people as a non-referrals foodbank. We are working with Leeds City Council and various community partners to offer a Warm Space for anyone who needs it. We continue to host Money Buddies, and signpost to local organisations for issues such as mental health, debt and housing. We have restarted Friday night Bistros, and have resumed hosting community collaborations, live music, boardgames, and pop up events of all sorts. More and more neighbours depend on the food and support we offer, and at the same time more and more neighbours offer money and time in support. We have been able to employ an Operations Manager to help cope with the increasing complexity of All Hallows + Rainbow Junktion life.
For the eighth year running we shared Christmas Day lunch after our worship service. An inspirational group of volunteers cooked up a storm using intercepted “waste” food which was enjoyed by 200+ people from all around the neighbourhood and the world- including international students and neighbours of various cultures and faiths and backgrounds.
Our weekly OWLS (Older Wiser Local Seniors) lunch club continues: 10-20 elderly neighbours who come for lunch courtesy of Bramley Elderly Action. We continue to welcome back groups such as Breakin’ Through Leeds who offer breakdancing classes to local children and adults through the week; Big Al’s choir for weekly rehearsals and occasional performances; and a Buddhist meditation group. Leeds Urban Harvest continues to run from All Hallows – intercepting surplus fruit from around the city and turning it into tasty juices.
Our vicar chairs the Hyde Park Neighbourhood Forum, working with local councillors, police, residents, businesses, community groups and outreach teams at both universities, to prepare a local government Neighbourhood Plan, and to make Hyde Park a more clean, green and neighbourly place. We host their AGM and occasional monthly meetings, and are thrilled to help put their motto ‘We love Hyde Park!’ into action. We also offer our building to our local police for their comfort and for community outreach events.
We continue to work regularly with various local primary schools, and our vicar often visits schools with friends from local mosques.

We continue to work regularly with Leeds University and Leeds Beckett University, collaborating with both on the Hyde Park Neighbourhood Forum and for community projects. In partnership with the universities we once again ran a ‘Community Free Shop’, collecting tons of goods ‘wasted’ by departing students, and offering these free to neighbours in need. We continue to host Leeds University Theology and Religious Studies students on annual community placements.
We continue to build links with our neighbours at Leeds Hindu Mandir, and to work with all three of our local mosques. This includes regular collaborations to bring Hindus, Muslims and Christians together. We are able to share these interfaith friendships beyond our own congregation. This includes interfaith events at other churches; our vicar leading interfaith assemblies at primary schools across Leeds; and contributing to Diocesan Presence & Engagement clergy training days.
We are a church passionately committed to caring for God’s creation. As well as Ecotricity supplying our gas and electricity, we are fulfilling our commitment to become a ‘Fossil Free Church’ by selling our investments to fund our new roof. We are an A Rocha Silver Eco Church, and hope to upgrade to Gold upon completion of the necessary building works.
Plans for the year ahead
Thanks to vital funding from our local Councillors and Leeds City Council, National Churches Trust, Benefact Trust, Leeds Church Extension Society, Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust, Wades Charity, the Diocese of Leeds, and many, many generous individuals, we will (finally!) be able to finish replacing our whole roof.
Our focus in 2023 will be working towards self-sustainability for Rainbow Junktion, and moving on to the other major works needed: replacing the church windows with double-glazed safety glass and improving access to our church garden, to enable our valuable green space to be shared more widely.
We are encouraged that our local councillors, and many local organisations and groups, value and support the work that goes on at All Hallows. We are excited about the even greater opportunities that our refurbished building will provide for increasing our ministry of love and support in the local community.

Financial review
In 2022 £284,200 was spent on replacing and insulating the roof after many years of fundraising and planning. This couldn’t have happened without the commitment of so many to this church and its supporters. Unsurprisingly this shows up as a large deficit for the year in the accounts with a negative net movement across all funds totalling £125,284 (2021: £49,389 surplus) at the end of the year. £125,000 has been transferred from unrestricted funds to cover additional roofing costs leaving total unrestricted assets of £68,357 (2021: £161,564) still well above our reserves level.
This was a fruitful year for All Hallows. In unrestricted general funds, income exceeded expenditure by £32,042 (2021: £24,127), an increase on last year. Amazingly, all types of giving have significantly increased again this year, both for the church and Rainbow Junktion work. Life has really come back into the church which is reflected in the increased incoming resources from rental of the building, fundraising activities and Rainbow Junktion cafe takings, all starting to build back revenue to pre-covid levels. As such costs of trading have increased accordingly. The Rainbow Junktion Foodshare contributed significantly to an increase in costs of trading with £21,831 spent on food for food parcels funded via restricted grants (2021: £13,073). Salaries have also increased, as we employed an Operations Manager in August.
Reserves policy
It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted general funds which equates to at least six months' unrestricted general payments. This has been estimated to be equivalent to £20,000 in 2022. Reserves are held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to deal with emergencies. In 2022 the assets in unrestricted general and designated funds at the year end exceeded this. These funds, and more, will be essential as we need to meet the remaining costs for refurbishing the church building in the near future including the remainder of the roofing works.
Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 24 April 2023 and signed on their behalf by the Reverend Heston Groenewald (PCC Chair):

Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of All Hallows Leeds
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the church’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

Independent examiner's statement
Since the church’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The PCC is a public benefit entity within the meaning of FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of PCCs, 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
This is the first year that the accounts have been prepared using the accruals accounting method and this has resulted in the significant year-on-year variation in the Gift Aid recovered income and adjustments for depreciation. This change is due to exceeding the income limit for using a Receipts and Payments basis.
Statement of compliance with prevailing laws and regulations
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the PCC and rounded to the nearest £.
Accounting policies
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The trustees consider that no judgements, apart from those involving estimates, have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies which have had a significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The trustees consider that no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date have been made which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Funds
Restricted funds represent either income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest or donations and 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. Where there is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside by the PCC for a specific use in the future, such as a building project. Designated funds remain unrestricted and the PCC will move any surplus to other general funds.
General funds are unrestricted funds which can be used by the PCC for ordinary purposes.
Incoming resources
Planned giving, collections, donations and tax refunds relating to these are recognised when received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is entitled to the use of the resources, their ultimate receipt is considered reasonably certain and the amounts due are reliably quantifiable. Dividends and interest are accounted for when received. All incoming resources are accounted for gross.
Investment gains and losses includes any gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
10
Expenditure and liabilities
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing PCC to that expenditure and its settlement is probable and quantifiable.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the PCC and their associated support costs.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the PCC but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include administrative and governance costs. Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the cost of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance and constitutional matters.
Fixed assets
Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. Moveable church furnishings held by the priest in charge and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church inventory which can be inspected. For anything acquired prior to 2013 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000, except for a dishwasher included here as a fixed asset, so all other such expenditure has been written off when incurred.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% reducing balance
Investments
Investments are valued at market value on 31 December.
Short term deposits
Includes cash held on deposit with CAF and other banks.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
Staff costs
When staff have rendered service to the PCC, short-term benefits to which they are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. They expect that the income received by the PCC going forward, together with its existing reserves, will be sufficient to enable it to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
2. Staff costs
During the year the PCC employed 5 (2021: 4) individuals part time: 2 café managers, an operations manager, a church administrator and a cleaner, paid via Voluntary Action Leeds (2022: £45,962; 2021: £35,774).
Trustees' remuneration and benefits
No remuneration was paid to any trustee (2021: £Nil).
Trustees' expenses
No expenses were reimbursed to any trustee (2021: £Nil).

Description of funds
Under1Roof – an appeal was launched in 2017 to fundraise for building related costs. The urgent work required includes a new roof and replacing the windows with double-glazed safety glass. In 2018 all the toilets were refurbished and a shower installed. Members of the congregation have undertaken fundraising activities and have provided one-off capital contributions for this purpose. Grants have also been received and pledged.
Asylum Seeker Support – funds are donated specifically to assist asylum seekers. Some donations are received on a regular basis, others are given in response to specific appeals. Members of the congregation who host asylum seekers can claim a set rate to cover increased household expenditure. Asylum seekers are provided with funds to allow them to get to church, and as specific needs arise.
Hardship – in 2019 a fund was set up in recognition of the many people within our congregation and wider community suffering financially due to austerity and benefit delays/sanctions. Initially £1,000 was transferred from General funds, and members of the congregation also contribute specifically to this fund. The main use of this fund is to top up our church tabs at a local supermarket (for small food purchases) and at the Co-operative (for utilities).
Rainbow Junktion – in accordance with its Constitution Rainbow Junktion’s transactions are recorded within the church’s accounts as a restricted fund. Rent is paid to the church via a transfer to unrestricted General funds, as a contribution to running costs. Rainbow Junktion receives grants for specific activities, these are accounted for as restricted funds within the café's activities. For further details about Rainbow Junktion see Appendix 2.
Rainbow Junktion – Leeds City Council: COVID-19 – Rainbow Junktion received funding to enable it to become a Council Food Hub during the height of the pandemic, and for other COVID-specific expenditure.
Rainbow Junktion – Oblong and Hyde Park Source: COVID-19 – Rainbow Junktion received funding to enable it to purchase food items/household essentials to stock the foodbank.
Rainbow Junktion – Household Support - We have received multiple HSF grants from multiple sources to go towards supporting households with basic needs such as food, fuel and sanitary products. We are using this fund to distribute food, mainly fruit and vegetables, at the foodshare.
14
Rainbow Junktion – Foodshare - Due to increasing generosity from donations and grants (as well as increasing need) we have made a significant surplus that we have put into this designated fund to go on direct costs of the foodshare.

Rainbow Junktion reserves
Our intention is to retain general reserves sufficient to cover 6 months of annual general expenditure. In 2022 this equates to £25,000. Financial support for the café increased dramatically from 2020-22 as grant funders, local organisations and individuals recognised Rainbow Junktion’s invaluable work, that continued ceaselessly and adapted considerably during the pandemic and the following cost of living crisis in 2022. This has resulted in a beneficial surplus, and has led to general reserves totalling almost £40,000.
- £12,980 of the 2022 surplus was moved to a designated foodshare fund and will be able to cover 3 months of foodshare costs if there is a funding shortfall. We ensure all Rainbow Junktion income goes towards Rainbow Junktion’s aims of reducing food poverty, reducing food waste and building community.
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity we have received from grants and donations from individuals each year as without them Rainbow Junktion would run at a loss, as the café’s day time activities do not generate sufficient funding to cover the essential running costs. The encouraging financial position at the start of 2023 will enable Rainbow Junktion to continue to support those most in need as the pandemic and the rising cost of living, on top of years of austerity, continues to have a detrimental impact on many.
