Our Sunday
church attendance increased
slightly over the last year as we continue our
outreach work in the local area. More initiatives
are planned for 2024 -2025 to promote our
work in the local area and community. In
addition to our traditional Sunday Services. we
also run Café Church Services which are a more
informal type of service. Cafe Church includes
artivities for both adults and children enabling

we welcome 3040 people for friendship,
support and entertainment. We receive a few
donations from individuals lapprox. £300 last
yearl and these along with "on the day" raffle
receipts ensure we are financially viable for the
foreseeable future.
Our Children's and Youth Work thrived during
the year. as old children returned and new
children Joined our various group5. We are
blessed to have 5 uniformed group5: Beavers,
Cubs. Scouts, Rainbows and Brownies. All
groups face the challenge of a shortage of

Youth Club 111-18 years of age) has
approximately 45 registered with 30 young

people in regular attendance. We also now have
at least 6 young adults118-25 years of age).
In 2021 we started a young leader programme,
whereby we ask young people aged 13+ if they
would like to become a young leader. We offer
them trainin& and they work closely with a line
manager loften a volunteer or our children's or
vouth worker) to workalongside them and learn
from.
They spend time with us at Kids. Church. Kid5,
Club andlHoliday Club. They are a vital part of
our work here at HURC.
We support young people who are doing their
Duke of Edinburgh award and they work with us
as part of their voluntary service. We set them
targets they should try to achieve, and this
contributes
towards
their
personal
development and skills. We are so proud of our
young leaders and all they bring to us. We have
over 15 young leaders, many of whom have
been with us since the start of the programme
in 2021, and they are considering being adult
leaders when they turn 18. We are very happy
to support them in this. Every young leader is
celebrated each year with a certificate of
achievement, and a reference for their jobs or
voluntary work in futLtre."
In February 2024. we held a children's Holiday
Club, attended by around 35 children, and
throughout the year we also held a few one-off
Messy Church and family activitie5. Our toddler
group. 'Cheeky Chicks,. continues to thrive with
a total of 32 toddler5 registered plus their carers
attending sessions each week. In total, we
estimate that these activities on our premises
have reached around 150 different children and
young people. In addition. our Minister and
Children & Families. Worker have also led
regular school assemblies in 4 schools, and RE
le550ns in 2 schools. reaching hundreds of
children each month.
Across all a8tr8roups, we continued to offer
pastoral and prattical help regularly to our
members and friends, as well as members of the
wider community- All our church members and
regular attendees are a55igned to the tare of
one of our church elders. who maintain5 a
pastoral oversight and bring any matters of
concern to our minister andlor pastoral visttors,
who assist the minister in visiting the ill. the

housebound or those in care facilities. As our
congregation is drawn from a relatively wide
geographical areè across Rotherham we are,
occasionally, made aware of familie5 suffering
financial hardship within our church family. We
have always maintained a fund (the Caring
Fund) within our accounts that we use to
provide support as and when the need arises.
We anticipate that there will be more calls on
this fund over the coming weeks and month5
and we are encouraging those who are able to
make additional contribution5 to the fund. We
gave gifts totalling £525 in the last financial
year. We also pay for taxis1£2,3151 last year,
from the Caring Fund for members who would
not be able to attend church without this help.
Members of our worshipping community
continued to support the Rotherham Foodbank
Iwith increased impetus as needs became more
apparentl and we supported Operation
Christmas Child. sending a large number of
shoeboxes of items to children in need. Two of
our members, are volunteer chaplains at
Rotherham Hospice. We also supported our
three chosen charities with finances. which for
the financial year 2024 were Lighthouse Homes,
Rotherham 16 months), Rotherham Hospice,

The total financial assets of the church are= £164,168.36. compared to £158.798.45 at the end of

However, for a signrficant period of the last financial year (July 2023- June 20241, the church
accounts were showing a deficit; this was particularly concernin8 during the first 4-5 months of
this calendar year. The surplus or deficit at the end of each month of the last financial year is

The remarkable turnround in our finanaal situation that occurred during the latter part of May
and June was due to significant income from HMRC1£13,040 Gift Aid) and several grants.
Whilst these grants improved our overall financial situation. they were all given for specific
purposes,. The most Sl8nificant being for our Youth & Children's work:
July 2023 £20,000 from Synod
June 2024 £180 from Synod
June 2024 £5,000 from Garfield Weston and
June 2024 £2.000 from the Harry Bottom Trust
June 2024 £7.293 from Synod (Mission Capacity Fund- see below)
Thus. this money is not available for general day-to-day expenditure. We are grateful to those
organisations that have captured our vision for the future of the church, and supported us
financially to help achieve our aims.
The general fund show5 a surplus of £5,369 compared to a surplus of £26.734 for the previous
year. Our free will offering was £66,191; this figure includes a Gift Aid payment of £11,104,
compared with £72,899 including Aid of £20.395 for the previous year. It is difficult to reconcile
Gift Aid payments as they are claimed retrospertively and the higher fi8ure for last year 15
actually the payments for two financial years. We raised £4,314 for our church charities
through specific events and donations plus a small gift aid payment. compared to a total of
£2.008 for last year. We received £1,650 in donations to our caring fund and gave £525 in gifts.
Following a decision of the elders to fund taxis (to bring members of the church family to
Sunday services}. a further £2,315 was paid from the caring fund. Thus, the fund now stands at
£5.403. We were able to take advantage of a new fund within Synod called the Mission
Capacity Fund. This fund is available to churches to enable them to release Ihumanl resources
by paying the salaries of staff to carry out work which would ordinarily be done by church
members, thus releasingthose church members for mission work.
