**Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **2022 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of All Saints Church, Hunmanby** 

## **Aims and purposes** 

All Saints Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Tim Parker, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of the church building, and church hall which is called the Spring, which operates various church and social activities and the Hunmanby Community Wellbeing Hub. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to being welcoming and accessible to all-comers to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at All Saints. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the whole demographic within our parish. Through worship, prayer, scripture, music and sacrament people’s faith is energised and directed into service of others. 

When planning activities for the year, the Church has considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. 

In particular, church members are encouraged 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. 

- Provision in the Spring or the Café and Hunmanby Community Wellbeing Hub, providing refreshment, company, social inclusion, plus pastoral and practical support to members of the local community and beyond. 

To facilitate this work, it is important that we maintain the fabric of the church building and the church hall (The Spring). 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **Worship and Prayer** 

The PCC is keen to offer a range of services and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Sunday worship varies from more traditional liturgy through to all-age worship in the mornings, whilst there is mixture of contemporary worship style in the evenings in the Church and worship nights held in the Spring. The children’s work called ‘Sunday JAM’ (Jesus and Me) continues twice a month on Sunday mornings in the Spring. 

We have started a monthly parent and toddler group called ‘Happy Little Lambs’. This takes place in the Spring Café on a Thursday morning. 

Prayer meetings are held during the week in the Spring on Mondays and in the Church on Saturday mornings. The Home Groups have recommenced face to face weekly meetings for prayer, fellowship and study of the Scriptures.

Worship was led by the Vicar assisted by two Readers, Maureen Andrew and Julie Hay, and a Recognised Parish Assistant for Worship, Jane Cheesbrough. Ordinand Steve Cox completed his placement at All Saints and worked with the team in leading worship and preaching prior to his ordination at York Minster in June 2022. Many other church members are involved in public worship reading lessons, leading intercessions, providing music and technical support. 

In terms of additional occasional outdoor services, the Vicar led a main Sunday service in June for the Queen’s Jubilee Celebration. Then there was also a service on Remembrance Sunday at the War Memorial, this was accompanied by the Hunmanby Silver Band. 

At present there are 87 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll. 

We welcome and support people on the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God’s keeping. 

The local community school, Hunmanby Primary, attended All Saints for special services along with other family members at Harvest, Christmas and Easter. The Vicar leads assemblies in school several times a term. 

## **Deanery Synod** 

All Saints’ parish is part of the Scarborough Deanery within the Archdeaconry of East Riding. The Vicar and parish representatives attend Deanery Synod meetings, reporting back to the PCC about relevant issues such as the ‘Living Christ’s Story’ Diocesan initiative, which the church is participating in. 

## **The Spring - Café and Community Wellbeing Hub** 

Our Spring Café and Community Wellbeing Hub provides a safe space for social interaction and social inclusion. The Spring/Hub was designated as a ‘Warm & Welcoming Space’ under the national initiative. Hot meals are provided on certain days of the week in conjunction with the Hun-Free Fridge. There are various opportunities during the week to meeting for light bites and refreshments for example, CAMEO (Come and meet each other) and the SWORD (Single, Widowed and Divorced) group which has relocated to the Spring and met for afternoon tea, fun and fellowship. This venture is part of the Church mission and is led by a paid staff member, Joy Ossai, together with safely-recruited volunteers from the church and community. A knit and natter group meets on a Monday, providing social opportunities over knitting and games are available for those seeking companionship in a safe setting. 

There are usually regular opportunities for IT support for anyone in the Community who requires assistance with modern technology, for example, with their mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. 

The building also acts as a meeting place for other community groups such as the Rainbows, Brownies and Guides and for Community dancing and singing. The Hun – Free Fridge, the community fridge, continues to operate from the Spring. This provides free food to avoid it going to waste and is open twice a week for anyone in the community to come and pick up for free. 

## **Pastoral Care** 

Some members of the parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Reader, Maureen Andrew, and the Revd Tim Parker visit church members who have requested it, to offer Holy Communion to them either in their homes or in local residential care homes. The Church has a Pastoral Care Team of four people headed up by Naomi Thorp (our Recognised Parish Assistant for Pastoral Care). Team members keep in regular contact with the sick and housebound. 

## **Mission and Evangelism** 

Our aim is to serve the living God and make his love known. As part of this mission All Saints supports our Church Mission Society (CMS) link-missionaries working abroad. We support both 

4 



in prayer and financially the Clare family based in Arua, Uganda, and the Tester family in Lima, Peru. All Saints has received personal visits in the past year from the whole Care family and from Paul Tester. We also hold special events to raise funds for other Christian mission agencies, in particular for Tearfund and The Leprosy Mission. 

## **Ecumenical Relationships** 

All Saints has excellent links with the local Methodist Church at Cross Hill Methodist Church and we hold a joint service once per month alternating between the two church buildings. . 

## **Safeguarding** 

The PCC is fully complaint with the Safeguarding Measures required by the Church of England. Our Safeguarding Officer is Sarah Holmes and she reports to the PCC at every full meeting. All the trustees are DBS checked and take the appropriate level of Safeguarding training offered by the Diocese. 

## **Quinquennial Inspection** 

The last Quinquennial Inspection was held in 2017 and any main items identified have been addressed. A new Diocesan-approved church architect has been appointed following the retirement of our previous architect.  The next QI will take place in 2023. 

## **Financial Review** 

Income is £88,767.38 Expenditure is £95,752.94 

Significant changes are: 

i)       From Fees for weddings and funerals for both income and expenditure as numbers of services return to a more normal level post pandemic. 

ii)      An increase in income from the Spring café due to a return to normal opening hours and a oneoff grant. 

iii)    One off donations for a tree maintenance project in the church yard with the accompanying expenditure. 

iv)    An increase in the cost of upkeep for the Church Hall, the cost of the Hub and admin sundries. 

The use of our reserves has been required in order to maintain the same level of Free Will Offer to the Diocese of £45,000.00. This was something the PCC felt was very important given the financial constraints that the Diocese of York is facing. 

The PCC resolved some years ago to give towards our mission giving 10% of the combination of: the collection, Gift Aid, tax rebate and donations, the parochial fees element payable to the parish plus any fund-raising and bank interest we receive. 

In 2022 the total sum going towards our mission giving was £5,948. 

## **Volunteers** 

The Parochial Church Council members would like to thank everyone who contributes to the running of the Church community. There are numerous volunteers, supporting many and varied ministries. 

In particular, the Churchwardens Jane Cheesbrough, and Christine Rookes and our Treasurer, Jennifer Copeman, who manages all the church accounts and finances. 

There are a number of teams within the Church community, who work hard to maintain the church and grounds,  and the PCC would like to specifically thank the gardening team this year for the maintenance of the church grounds. 

**Structure, governance, and management** 

5 



The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a corporate body established by the Church of England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure. 

This year the PCC has had the accounts externally examined the by an independent examiner for submission to the Diocese and the to Charities Commission by October 2023. 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020. At All Saints the membership of the PCC currently consists of the incumbent (our vicar), two churchwardens who are all ex-officio plus nine members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. Congregation members are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC when there are vacancies. 

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. New members receive a helpful pamphlet describing the workings of the PCC. 

The full PCC met six times during the year with an average level of attendance of 95%.  Given its wide responsibilities the PCC will when necessary set up other subcommittees, each dealing with a particular aspect of church life. 

These committees, which include the Spring Committee, are responsible to the PCC and report back to it regularly with minutes of their proposals being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary. 

## **Risk Management** 

Safeguarding: All volunteers and PCC members are DBS checked and have to complete safeguarding training at the level required by the Diocese. 

Health and Safety (H&S) and Buildings: Good H&S policies and procedures, combined with good care and maintenance routines have been continued and this reduces risk of damage to personnel and property. 

In addition, a number of policies help to protect the well-being of all who are involved in the church community or who are served by the community. These include Equality and Diversity, GDPR, Bullying & Harassment, Complaints & Grievance & Domestic Abuse.
