It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Rectory Cottage and Church Hall, both situated in Church Street, Darfield, S73 9JX. The Wath2 Mission Area contains the Parishes of Darfield, Ardsley, Thurnscoe, Bilham, Adwick on Dearne, and Barnburgh with Melton on the Hill.

The correspondence address is: The Rectory Cottage, Church Street, Darfield, Barnsley, S73 9JX

Aim and Purpose:

Darfield All Saints’ PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2020) and a charity registered with the Charity Commissioners [1185316].

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent to promote the ecclesiastical parish mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Objectives and Activities:

We aim to be a visible spiritual presence in our communities as we strive to make Jesus known to all.

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to come to faith and become members of a worshipping community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish to ensure that services and activities meet the needs of the many groups within the parish.

It attempts to put faith into practice through prayer, Scripture, music and sacrament and to allow each individual’s knowledge of and trust in Jesus to develop. The PCC supports societies and individuals involved in missionary, pastoral and outreach work within the parish and beyond.

Structure, Governance and Management

The full PCC meets up to 12 times per year to make decisions of general concern and importance to the Parish including deciding how the PCC funds are collected and spent. Additional joint meetings with the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Christ Church Ardsley have covered more general topics such as Leading your Church int Growth, Living in Love and Faith and Mission Action Planning

The method of appointment of PCC Members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020.

All eligible church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC and to other elected offices.

Historically, r esponsibility for day to day running of St Michael’s Great Houghton has been delegated by the PCC to their District Church Council [DCC] elected at their own Annual District Church Meeting. A number of DCC members are additionally members of the PCC. The DCC is currently in abeyance.

Usually from within its membership, the PCC appoints a Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. The PCC has power to co-opt additional members, generally with full voting rights and to invite such other persons to its meetings as it wishes

1

The PCC also appoints a Standing Committee which has delegated powers to make decisions on urgent matters between PCC meetings.

If the Parish does not have an incumbent for the time being, the PCC Vice-Chairman takes over as Chairman of the PCC and the PCC may nominate a further individual to deputise. The PCC may also create sub committees for specific purposes which can make recommendations to the PCC. Membership of these committees may include non-PCC members.

Membership of the PCC

Notes: Readers licenced to the Parish are members ex-officio

PCC Members are generally elected for a three-year term but may stand for re-election, should they so wish, at the APCM at which their membership term ends.

Activities of the Parochial Church Council, Achievements and Performance

The PCC met regularly during 2023 with a mixture of face-to face, Zoom and hybrid meetings. Some additional meetings were combined with the Parochial Church Council of Christ Church Ardsley and included presentations and activities linked with, for example, Mission Action Planning (MAP). Little progress has been made with the toilet project for a number of reasons. We have also not succeeded in setting up a Finance group to give some support to our badly overstretched Treasurer. We don’t necessarily need more people on the PCC as much as we need everyone to consider what they can do to help, to prayerfully consider what gifts of time they can offer.

The established pattern of Sunday Worship continues with a celebration of Holy Communion at St Michaels on the first and third Sundays and at All Saints on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. The Service of the Word on the first and third Sundays at All Saints also continued.

The Café Churches at All Saints and St Michaels continued during the year and in the months with five Sundays, a variety of services took place in both churches on that fifth Sunday, including Brunch Services.

The PCC dealt with the usual range of regular business, with its ongoing financial situation affecting the support to the Diocesan Common Fund and the various Mission agencies.

Most of our activities as a church continued including the Board Games Club and Book Club. The ‘Open the Book’ bible story sessions in Darfield All Saints’ Academy and Sandhill Primary School in Great Houghton continued. Our traditional Carols by Candlelight service featured in the Christmas Service provision in both Churches with this year an investment by both our congregations in the Posada, or the journey of Mary Joseph and the donkey around homes in the lead up to Christmas. Many cute and hilarious photos were taken.

We continued our ministry to our Parishioners through funerals in both our churches and at the cemeteries and at Barnsley Crematorium. Weddings and Baptisms also took place with regular Baptism evenings held to meet prospective families. In 2024 there were nine services of Infant Baptism and one adult baptism including two infants at Great Houghton. Eleven funerals were held in the church at Darfield and two in Great Houghton. Three weddings were solemnised in Darfield with one wedding blessing held in each of the two churches.

All Saints’ Church was open for visitors several times during the year including the national Heritage Open Days, our now annual Snowdrop Trail, an Explorer Day sponsored by the Diocese. St Michael’s was also open during the Heritage Open Days. The Church Hall hosted a very successful Christmas Fair.

All Saints welcomed representatives of local organisations and others to the Annual Remembrance Sunday Services and was opened on the previous day to allow a Time of Remembrance. Likewise, St Michael’s hosted the Village commemoration in Great Houghton.

St Michael’s Church in Great Houghton has been open for an hour on most Thursdays during the year and their Knit and Natter group met on Tuesday afternoons. The church was open weekly for an hour for ‘Mindful Mondays’ which reduced to monthly from the middle of the year.

The Salt and Light Youth Fellowship Group, formerly 4th@4, continued to meet one a month in Darfield. Nine members visited the Diocesan Breathe Deep celebration in Sheffield Cathedral where they met with other young people from across the Diocese to listen to talks, play games and have fun in fellowship. A narrow boat trip and a visit to the Cathedral Christmas light display were arranged. Two members. Kian Yates and Tyler Jordan were confirmed in November 2024 at Ardsley.

The Community Shop on the Go set up their mobile stall on our Church Hall car Park on alternate Thursdays to sell quality food at affordable prices which would otherwise go to landfill. In conjunction with these visits, our Church Hall has been opened as a Warm Welcome Space providing light refreshments and we plan to open the café weekly from January. Our Church Hall continues to see use by Slimming World, DanceFit, Darfield Scouts, Exodus Youth Group and the U3A on a regular week by week basis. Some casual bookings have seen the Hall booked for children’s parties. In a repeat booking the Phoenix Academy of Dance and Performing Arts from Thurnscoe held their Christmas Show in November. A repeat of the silk painting session proved to be popular and raised funds for our Projects Fund.

Rev Fiona Kouble and Rev Christine Moorey continued to visit and conduct assemblies in Upperwood Academy All Saints Academy and Sandhill Primary. Both Darfield schools have organised services in All Saints and visited the church as part of their History and Religious Curriculum. Links with Sandhill Primary School in Great Houghton continue to develop.

Our team of Bellringers, with the help of local visiting ringers have continued to announce our Sunday morning Services at All Saints. They have also been involved with their regular Thursday Practice night and have rung for weddings and other special occasions during the year. The Tower has been opened for visitors whenever the Church has been open for special events.

The Prayer Ministry Team continued to be active. They met every Thursday to pray in confidence for our Parish, for the people and situations for which prayer has been requested. They gathered in the South Chapel before the services in All Saints to pray for the Congregation and for those leading and taking active part in the services, Prayer ministry was also offered during and after the Communion Services. The team maintained the Prayer Trees in All Saints and the Church Hall and the Prayer box in All Saints.

Rev Christine Moorey completed her Curacy in the Mission Area in June 2024 and moved to take temporary responsibility for the Lights for Christ project within the Diocese of Sheffield. On Advent Sunday, 1[st] December 2024, our Priest in Charge and Oversight Minister, Rev Fiona Kouble, announced that she would be leaving our Parish to take up her new post as Vicar of Tideswell in the Diocese of Derby in March 2025.

Fabric report:

Routine maintenance on our buildings continued through the year. In March an unidentified car was driven at speed into the churchyard gate creating damage that was too severe to repair. Our insurers accepted responsibility, and a new set of gates was commissioned from G M Asquith Fabrications Ltd. The design followed that of the original gates and incorporated most of the original decorative metal work.

We continue to be grateful to the members of the Friends of Darfield Churchyard [FODCY] whose sterling efforts throughout the year keep the vegetation in our churchyard under control.

There has been little visible progress on the project to improve accessibility and install toilets in All Saints.

Safeguarding

The PCC and DCC are committed to implementing Promoting a Safer Church , the House of Bishops’ Safeguarding Policies and Good Practice guidelines. Safeguarding is included on the agenda of every PCC meeting and its relevant policies are regularly reviewed and updated as required by changes in legislation and recommended good practice. In accordance with their duties and where required, individuals are subject to regular checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service [DBS]. Safeguarding Training at an appropriate level is undertaken in line with Diocesan guidelines. The PCC will maintain a Safeguarding Training Needs Analysis and present it each year to the Annual Meeting.

Wath Deanery Synod

We are part of the wider Wath Deanery, which is in the Doncaster Archdeaconry of Sheffield Diocese, the Wath Deanery Synod meets three times a year. The Synod is a gathering of the Clergy and lay parish representatives. We have three representatives, currently Justine Evans and Andrea Harrison and one vacancy. We thank Olive Shaw who represented Great Houghton on the Synod for many years who resigned in June 2024 leaving a vacancy for a representative from Great Houghton for the year starting in April 2025.

At the start of the year, the role of Area Dean was shared by the Rev Andy Brewerton (Vicar of St Thomas, Kilnhurst) and our own Revd Fiona Kouble. Rev Brewerton left at Easter for a post in Cannes, France leaving Rev Fiona as sole Area Dean.

A variety of topics were covered in the Synod meetings, In January 2024 in Thurnscoe, as well as our usual business the Revd John Hibberd, Mission Development Advisor shared a session on “ Good News to Share: Practical ways for churches and individuals” . A chance for us to consider how do we share the good news?

In July, Elise Dupont a newly appointed advisor for Churches in schools inspired membersThe Deanery Synod holds elections for representation on the Sheffield Diocesan Synod. Justine Evans and Andrea Harrison were duly elected among the lay representatives from the Wath Deanery

In October we shared our Deanery Synod meeting with Tankersley Synod and had a presentation from the Ven, Malcolm Chamberlain, the Archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham and Alex Shilkoff, the Diocesan Strategic Programme Director -with an update on the Diocesan Strategy Refresh – if you would like to read more about this - there is a link on the Diocesan Website about the Diocesan Vision : https://www.sheffield.anglican.org/ As we look forward to 2025, we have a plan to hold our three Deanery Synods as shared events with Tankersley Deanery.

And as I leave my role as Area Dean in 2025, the Bishop of Sheffield has begun consulting the local clergy about the next appointment -we await his decision. Fiona Kouble

Wath2 Mission Area

We are part of a wider Mission Area - the parishes of Ardsley, Adwick upon Dearne, Barnburgh with High Melton, Bilham, Darfield and Thurnscoe. We have three fulltime clergy positions allocated to our Mission Area – currently Fiona Kouble covering Ardsley and Darfield and the Revd Sarah Maughan at Thurnscoe. We are delighted that in July 2024 the Revd Jo Twigg was appointed as our third Oversight Minister working with the parishes of Bilham, Barnburgh and Adwick on Dearne.

Lent and Advent courses were shared across the Mission Area

With the upcoming appointment of a new minster for Ardsley and Darfield we will continue with reviewing how the mission area might work.

Financial Review and Explanation of Funds for 2024

The PCC would like to start by thanking all those who have supported the churches financially and in so many other ways, over 2024.

The Financial Statements on page 7 give the combined figures for the whole parish. They show that the total income for the parish in 2024 was £68,971 and total expenditure was £56,369. Full details of receipts, payments and funds are given in the Financial Statements. Separate year-end accounts for the two churches are on the board and copies are available.

Financial Notes for Darfield All Saints Church only.

(Notes for St Michael and All Angels, Houghton, are given on the next page.)

Our overall income for Darfield All Saints Church for 2024 was £62,771 and our expenditure £50,416. This would appear to be a very healthy profit but a different picture appears when we compare our ‘unrestricted funds’ with our ‘restricted and designated funds’. The unrestricted funds, used for the day to day running of the church, had income of £50,403 and expenditure of £50,063, leaving a profit of just £340.

In 2024 we received donations (including a legacy of £5,000) to our designated ‘Projects Fund’ of £5,511, together with interest of £3,867, leaving the Projects Fund with £83,477 at the year end. This fund is earmarked for use on our proposed Church Toilet Project.

£2,550 was placed into the designated ‘Administrator Fund’, ready to pay for the six months’ costs still owing to the Diocese for our administrator for the second half of 2024.

These two reasons account for much of the £12,016 profit in the designated funds.

Looking at the rest of the accounts in more detail, income from ‘planned giving’ rose by almost 2.5% on 2023 and income from ‘open collections’ rose by 19%, which was very welcome. This may have been due in part to the arrival of the ‘Contactless Giving’ machine in church, where people can give by using their bank card rather than cash, but we need to research that further before we can say for sure.

Income from wedding and funeral fees continued to decline, as in many other churches, - this year by 24%. Church Hall income remains stable – the apparent increase between 2023 and 2024 being explained by arrears of £1280 for 2023 being paid at the start of 2024.

Following a change of energy provider at the end of 2023, our energy costs for the church reduced by 31% from 2023 but they still remain higher than in years prior to that.

We tithe our income from ‘planned giving’ and this resulted in £2,340 being shared between our five supported missions (CPAS, Scripture Union, Release International, Good News for Everyone and Goldthorpe Salvation Army).

During 2024 the churchyard gates were severely damaged after being ‘rammed’ and had to be replaced at the cost of £1,500. We received an insurance payout of £1,250 towards this and a donation of £125 from a parishioner covered half of the remaining excess.

We received two grants in 2024 - £260 being a top-up of our previous ‘Warm Space’ grant and £100 being for LED light bulbs, which went toward the £894 cost of replacing all the bulbs in central aisle of the nave (half of which had already failed.)

We pledged, and paid, £12,500 to the Diocesan Common Fund. This was a reduction, again, on the previous year. We are a ‘net-receiving’ parish and currently pay less than a quarter of the ministry costs of a vicar/rector. This means that we are reliant on other churches and the diocese to fund our shortfall.

Generally – it is always good to reach the end of the year breaking even on our day to day running. It is also good that we managed to add to our Toilet Fund.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has faithfully given financially to the work of God in this church in the year 2024.

Financial Notes for Houghton St Michael & All Angels Church only.

(Notes for Darfield, All Saints Church, are given above.)

Our overall income for Houghton St Michael & All Angels Church for 2024 was £6,476 and our expenditure £6,230. When we compare our ‘unrestricted funds’ with our ‘restricted funds’ we can see that the unrestricted funds, used for the day to day running of the church, had income of £6,187 and expenditure of £5,524, leaving a profit of £665.23. This was largely thanks to a generous donation of £500 from Great Houghton Village Hall Committee. The restricted funds show a deficit of £419 which is because a grant of £500 received in the previous year (2023) was mainly spent in 2024.

Looking at the rest of the accounts in more detail, income from ‘planned giving’ remained the same as 2023 and income from ‘open collections’ rose by 19%, which was very welcome.

Income from wedding and funeral fees continued to decline, as in many other churches. In 2024, we hired out the Church Rooms, especially during the time that the Miners’ Welfare Hall was closed for refurbishment. Income from that was £105 with a further £740 due to be paid in 2025 to cover the use in 2024.

We received one grant in 2024 - £288.55 being a grant for Christmas 2023 Activities. (The grant was awarded in December 2023 but not paid until January 2024). This was almost spent in full, with the remaining £1.85 being transferred to unrestricted church funds. The remainder of a £500 grant, which we received in 2023 for ‘outreach’, was spent.

We pledged, and paid, £1,250 to the Diocesan Common Fund.

Reserves Policy

It is PCC policy to try to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds which equates to at least three months’ unrestricted payments. This is usually equivalent to about £15,000 for the whole parish. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The balance of £116,345 held in unrestricted (including ‘designated’) funds at the year-end was more than sufficient to meet the target. This is mainly due to the balance of £83,477 held within All Saints’ designated ‘projects’ fund.
