Trustees’ Annual Report

2024 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, 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.

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 they are encouraged to work to extend the Kingdom of God within the community.

Church members are encouraged to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:

• Worship and prayer; learning and understanding God’s Word, the Bible, and developing their knowledge and trust in the Father, The Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

• Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.

• Missionary and outreach work.

• Provision in the church hall of dedicated times of Worship, study courses, and pastoral support.

Achievements and Performance

Following the retirement of Rev Timothy Parker in July 2023, the Church has been in Vacancy. Therefore, this year, the Church has continued without a vicar throughout the calendar year, as the recruitment process has continued.

Worship and Prayer

The PCC have been keen whilst we have been without a Vicar to offer a range of services and over the course of the year that encourages and challenges our community in their walk with the Lord. Sunday morning worship varies from more traditional liturgy through to all-age worship. There is a contemporary worship style in two evening services a month. Worship Hours have been held in the Church Hall on the other Sunday evenings. The children’s work called ‘Sunday JAM’ (Jesus and Me) meets once a month on Sunday mornings in the Church Hall. This is for primary school children. There is a monthly parent and toddler group called ‘Happy Little Lambs, which takes place in the Church Hall on a weekday morning.

Prayer meetings are held in the Church on Saturday morning. The three Home Groups have provided face to face weekly meetings for prayer, fellowship, and study of the Scriptures.

Worship has been led by the Church Wardens and a number of visiting clergy from both the Scarborough Deanery and the Bridlington Deaney. We are particularly grateful to Rev Ray Yates, Rev Jonathan Couper, and Rev Steve Cox for their support. In the latter part of the year, Rev Micharl Burley started to support the Benefice as he had moved into the village following his retirement. We are grateful to him for his support. Other services have been led by Authorised Lay Minister, Jane Cheesbrough and Church Warden, Chris Rookes. There are 3 Communion services in the month, one at the 8.00 am service, then one at the 10.30 am Morning service and one at the 5.00 pm Evening service

Each of the four morning services have been different, and messages from prominent preachers have been streamed to the services, as & when necessary.

Following a Baptism service in September where eleven adults were baptised by full immersion by the Rev Mark Carey, there has been testimonies given at each of the monthly All age services by the candidates. On the 5th Sundays during the year, we have continued to hold Joint Benefice services with the other four churches in our Benefice, alternating the venue. On the 4[th] Sunday of every month, we have continued to have a joint service with the Methodist Chapel.

Many church members participated in public worship reading lessons, leading intercessions, providing music and technical support.

This year the Act of Remembrance was held on Cross Hill by the War Memorial for all the village and then followed by a Joint service of Remembrance in All Saints Church with the Methodists. Once again, the Hunmanby Silver Band provided the music for this event. There was also a Joint Harvest Festival service, which was held at Cross Hill Methodist Chapel this year. Both Christmas carol services were held on Christmas Eve, with a formal Lessons and Carols service in the morning and a family village Carol service in the afternoon. The local community school, Hunmanby Primary, attended All Saints for a Christmas service along with parents & guardians.

There are 74 people on the Church Electoral Roll.

We welcome and support people on the journey through life by christenings, baptisms, marriage, funeral services throughout the year.

Deanery Synod

All Saints’ parish is part of the Scarborough Deanery within the Archdeaconry of East Riding. There have been two parish representatives who attend Deanery Synod meetings, report back to the PCC about relevant issues.

Pastoral Care

Churchwarden Chris Rookes and Pastoral Team Leader Naomi Thorp have visited church members unable to attend church due to sickness or age, providing Holy Communion who have requested it, either in their homes or in local residential care homes.

The Church has a Pastoral Care Team headed up by Naomi Thorp (trained Pastoral Care Leader). Team members keep in regular contact with the sick and housebound.

A 10-week bible study course on the Foundations of our Faith was held in the Church Hall. This was well attended.

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 in prayer and financially, The Harvey family in Egypt and Paul Tester as he heads up the South American work from his base in the UK. We continue to support a number of other Christian charities, including the Leprosy Mission.

The Church ran a ‘Try Praying’ programme, providing a prayer box on the church door and open events to discuss all about prayer in the Church Hall.

Once again, a Christmas Card was delivered to homes throughout Hunmanby Parish advertising the Christmas services in both churches in the Village.

Ecumenical Relationships

All Saints has excellent links with the local Methodist Church at Cross Hill Methodist Chapel with joint services 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. We have a designated Safeguarding officer. All the trustees are DBS checked and undertake the appropriate level of Safeguarding training offered by the Diocese.

Quinquennial Inspection and Property Management

We still await the formal report following the Quinquennial Inspection held on 23[rd] March 2023. The next QI will take place in 2028. In 2024, a number of work projects were undertaken including:

• Updating the electrical supply in the Church Hall.

• Installation of an automatic clock winder on the Church clock, following the Diocese of York faculty approval.

• Heavy ground maintenance in the churchyard was undertaken by volunteers from the church community, which included clearing of the northern boundary and the continued maintenance of the hedge along Church Walk.

Financial Review

Income in 2024 was £79,187.52. Expenditure in 2024 was £90548.48 The overspend in the year of £11,360.96 was taken from the reserves. Significant issues to be noted are as follows:

• The overspend in 2024 of £11,360.96 was half the overspend of £22,528.19 in 2023. This is an improvement; however, the church is still using reserves to underwrite the cost for each year. This is only sustainable for the next few years, as the reserves will be used up.

• Offerings (Gift Aid and collections) remained at the same level as last year.

• The Spring Café Income and Expenditure is completely different to last year as the café closed at the end of June 2024.

• The cost of the Installation of the clock winder was covered by 50% funding from the reserves and the further 50% raised by a combination of ecclesiastical grants and donations. The laptop cost was entirely covered by a special donation.

• Fees for wedding and funerals dropped as less ceremonies were undertaken in the parish.

• The running and upkeep costs for the Church and the Church Hall was less than the cost in 2023.

Once again, the reserves were used to top up the payment to the Diocese (the Free Will Offering/Parish share). This year the payment was £36,240 . In the vacancy, the PCC agreed to withhold £10,000.

The PCC continued the policy that our mission giving was 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 2024, the total sum going towards our mission giving was £6,395.

Volunteers

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

The PCC recognises the increased workload for a number of individuals in the vacancy and are grateful to everyone. In particular, the PCC members would like to thank the two Churchwardens, Christine Rookes and Jane Cheesbrough, and our Treasurer, Jennifer Copeman, who manages all the church accounts and finances, the PCC Secretary, Andrew Santon and Gail Cheesbrough, who took on the role of administrator the churches in the Benefice for the period of the Vacancy.

There are a number of teams within the Church community, who have helped at the services and maintenance of the church grounds, and the PCC would like to thank all of them for their continued support during this year.

Structure, governance, and management

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 to the Charities Commission.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules 2020. At All Saints, the membership of the PCC consisted of the incumbent (our vicar), two churchwardens who are all ex-officio plus seven 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.

5

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 eight times during the year with an average level of attendance of 95%. Given the additional responsibilities during the Vacancy, the PCC set up a standing committee to deal with daily aspects of church life. This committee has then reported back to the full PCC and discussed, as necessary.

In June 2024, the Spring Cafe Project was closed. This was due to the retirement of the PCC employed Manager and the poor financial situation. No decision on the future use of the building will be taken until new parish Vicar is in post.

Risk Management

Safeguarding: During Vacancy, the PCC has ensured that all volunteers and PCC members have completed their safeguarding training at the level required by the Diocese and are DBS checked, as necessary.

Health and Safety (H&S) and Buildings : Good H&S policies and procedures, combined with safe care and maintenance routines have 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 participate in the church community or who are served by the community. These include Equality and Diversity, GDPR, Bullying & Harassment, Complaints & Grievance & Domestic Abuse. These policies are available on the noticeboards at the back of the church.

The PCC has ensured that all the policies held by the PCC have been reviewed and brought up to date during 2024.
