The Parochial Church Council (PCC) registered as a charity in April 2020. As a church within the Church of England, the A453 Churches is constituted within the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956. Members of the Parochial Church Council are either ex-officio or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules and, by dint of membership, become the charity's Trustees. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Church Electoral Roll and to consider standing for election to the PCC. PCC members are required to complete a HMRC Fit and Proper Persons Declaration. The PCC has met every other month. The PCC is responsible for policy approvals and decisions, approval of significant non-routine expenditure, identification, assessment and mitigation of risks, and other significant decision making including the ratification of any proposals submitted by church sub-committees. Our Safeguarding Officer continues to ensure that the PCC complies with its duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). During the year the following served as members of the PCC: |_Incumbent (Chair):_|Revd Richard Coleman|| |---|---|---| |_Reader:_|Mr David Smith|| |_Churchwardens:_|Mrs Anne Farnsworth|| ||Mrs Angie Howard|| ||Mrs Janet State|| |_PCC Secretary:_|Mr Ray State|| |_Safeguarding Officer:_|Mrs Anne Farnsworth|| |_Treasurer:_|Mr Graham Grocock|| |_Representatives on the_|Mrs Val Hopkins|| |_Deanery Synod:_|Mrs Janet State|| |_Elected Members:_|Mr Bill Harrison|_Until APCM_| ||Mrs Pat Harrison|_Until APCM_| ||Mrs Sonya Hawkins|_Until APCM_| ||Mr David Power|| ||Mrs Bridget Plimmer|_Until APCM_| ||Mr David Woodhouse|| ||Mrs Debbie Bradley|_Until APCM_| ||Mrs Carole Edis|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Sue Davies|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Valerie Brown|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Diana Beeby|_From APCM_| ||Mr Peter Hawcock|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Erica Turner|_From APCM_| 3 **THE A453 CHURCHES (BARTON | GOTHAM | KINGSTON | RATCLIFFE | THRUMPTON)** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** ## **Annual Report** ## _Introduction and Background_ During 2019 the five separate parishes of Barton-in-Fabis, Gotham, Kingston-on-Soar, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, and Thrumpton made the decision to join together into a single parish, The A453 Churches of South Nottinghamshire. This occurred on 1[st] June 2019. The A453 Churches PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, Revd Richard Coleman, in promoting the whole mission of the Church - pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has oversight of the financial affairs of the parish churches of St George's Church Barton-inFabis, St Lawrence Church Gotham, St Winifred's Church Kingston-on-Soar, Holy Trinity Church Ratcliffe-onSoar, and All Saints Church Thrumpton and responsibility for the maintenance of the buildings and for St Lawrence Church Hall Gotham. St George's Church Barton-in-Fabis has connected charities: The Unknown Donors Charity (216015) Church Lands (subsidiary 1) - income to be spent on the upkeep of the church. ## _Objectives and Activities_ The A453 Churches has a public duty and charge to the "cure (care) of souls" for the Ecclesiastical Parish of The A453 Churches of South Nottinghamshire. The overall ministry and work of the PCC and the Clergy routinely embraces this charge. All of the Churches services and activities are accessible and open to the general public living within and beyond the Parish boundaries. As an Anglican church we serve parishioners through the arrangement of baptisms, funerals, and weddings. Additionally at Christmas, Easter and Harvest we run specific services and events for the wider community and on Remembrance Sunday we meet our civic responsibilities to the Parish. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the 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 communities through: - Worship and prayer; learning about the Good News of Jesus; 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 our five churches and the church hall in Gotham. ## _Worship and Prayer_ The number of people on the Parish Electoral Roll during the year was 93 (92 in 2019) and the average weekly attendance at Sunday Services, counted during October was 40, but this number increased at festivals and family services. Normally our churches are open at different times during the week to the community for private prayer with details of who to contact on the noticeboard outside each church; along with other organisations we have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. St Lawrence Church Gotham would normally be open on a Saturday morning providing refreshments and is well attended by folk from the village. A new service was started on Mothering Sunday last year, called Family Fun, which is held once a month at 4pm and is run by lay people in the Church and which has brought new people into the church on a regular basis. We continue to have a number of lay people who lead services on a regular basis at four of the five churches, and plans are underway for the fifth church as well. As a Church, we have also paid for Sonya to do a preaching course and she is now preaching once a month at St Winifred's Church Kingston-on-Soar, and we hope that we can persuade another person to also do the two year course. With our buildings closed at times during 2020 we have made an online service available via our website which has attracted people from the wider community, and for the church members who are not online we have made a printed service sheet and sermon available to them each week. 4 ## _Pastoral Care_ Prior to the Covid-19 lockdowns, some members of our Parish were unable to attend Church due to sickness or age. Revd Richard Coleman has visited all Church members who have requested it, to celebrate communion with them either at their homes or in hospital. Anne Farnsworth continued to organise a rota of volunteers to visit all who are sick or unable to get out for any other reason to keep them in touch with Church life; during the lockdowns volunteers have been telephoning the vulnerable, and goodie bags were delivered to a number of people in Gotham. We also gathered stories of what people have been up to during the lockdowns as a way to encourage members of the churches, especially those living on their own. Around half of our combined congregations are members of one of our five lay-led Bible study groups which also provide pastoral care to members of the group, and it has been a delight to see people growing in their knowledge and love of Jesus through these groups. Easter eggs were collected this year for Framework, a charity in Nottingham working with the homeless; and we continue to support the Foodbank in Clifton with food and other products that they need on a weekly basis. The Rector, along with Anne Farnsworth, is also able to hand out Foodbank vouchers to folk in the five villages who are referred to him. ## _Mission and Evangelism_ The parish magazine, "Messenger" (circulation c.1,070 households), continued to be an important means of promoting the Church's mission, work and activities to the local communities, sadly this has stopped during the lockdowns. A community cinema was trialed in March 2019 which was well received with about 60 people attending and so it was decided to run it once a month from October through to March 2020. Due to our licence we are unable to advertise the names of the films outside of the church and so we have to give clues as to which film is being shown. We are also unable to charge for entry but can and do charge for refreshments. Nigel Taylor continues to be involved in Sierra Leone and he is supported by prayer and giving from our churches. Until lockdown, the Open The Book team continued to take assemblies once a fortnight at Gotham Primary School; they are now in their ninth year and we continued to maintain good links with the school following a change of headteacher. Our group of five churches, along with seven other churches in the local area, continued to financially support a Schools Worker at East Leake Academy; and her involvement at the Academy has also been curtailed this year. This year we asked people to donate shoeboxes online for Samaritan's Purse which will go to bring joy to children who wouldn't normally receive anything at Christmas as well as providing them with the opportunity to learn about Jesus for themselves. ## _Gotham Church Hall_ Little Cherubs Toddler Group, run by Anna Marsden and Fiona Coleman, which would normally meet in the Church Hall on a Friday morning during term time has also had to stop during the pandemic. At Christmas they made a Nativity window display which was enjoyed by the children as they walked to school. Gotham Local Management Group continued to consider the future of the Church Hall which suffers from disrepair and obsolescence. They hope to find a new use which will make refurbishment viable. Discussions are being held with other village organisations to widen the options. ## _Deanery Synod_ Two members of the PCC sit on Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with an important link between the Parish and the wider structure of the church. There is a hope that the Deanery will put on a mission week in 2022, postponed from 2021. ## _Ecumenical Relationships_ The Anglican church is the only church in the villages, but once a month St Lawrence Church Gotham is made available for a Methodist service which has continued to be appreciated by those within St Lawrence Church who identify as Methodists. ## _Financial Review_ Following the merger of the five parishes into a single parish we are currently in the process of replacing the individual church accounts with a new single account, which involves transferring the Standing Orders over from one account to the other. This continues to be more onerous than expected but we hope to have it all sorted during 2021. 5 Each church has a number of ways of raising funds throughout the year but despite these efforts there is still great concern especially with the ability to pay the ever increasing Parish Share, which provides the stipends and housing of the Clergy; only Kingston was able to pay the full amount being asked for this year. With the closure of the churches this has drastically impacted the ability of the churches to raise funds as well as a large reduction in the giving that is normally received during a Sunday service. We are grateful to the villagers who continue to support the churches both financially and also with practical help throughout the year. St Lawrence Church Gotham continues to make good use of its building and the flexibility that the reordering in 2010 provides - the latest initiative being a community cinema which has been well supported by the community. We hope the wider community will continue to support us once normality returns. Income fell rather dramatically for All Saints Church Thrumpton due to fewer weddings and the annual Open Gardens and Flower Festival being run as a village event rather than a church event, and so the PCC and Thrumpton Church will need to consider other events in order to raise funds specifically for the church. ## _Reserves Policy_ It is the policy of the PCC to look to maintain unrestricted funds which are sufficient to cover the general upkeep and running of each church and to maintain the fabric of the building. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by the PCC on an ongoing basis. ## _Volunteers_ We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our Churches the lively and vibrant communities they are. In particular we want to mention our Churchwardens Anne Farnsworth, Angie Howard and Janet State and the Deputy Churchwardens Carole Edis, Sue Davies, David Smith, John Collins and Debbie Bradley who have worked so tirelessly on our behalf. And to also thank the treasurers, Liz Thornton, Christine Smith, David Woodhouse and David Greenwood for all their work over the years and for their continued assistance to Graham Grocock who has taken on the role of treasurer for all five churches. _Approved by the Parochial Church Council on 9[th] April 2021 and signed on its behalf by:_ Revd Richard Coleman (Rector & Chairman of the PCC). 6 **THE A453 CHURCHES (BARTON | GOTHAM | KINGSTON | RATCLIFFE | THRUMPTON)** ## **FINANCE REPORTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** ## **St George's Church, Barton-in-Fabis** Regular giving, from 28 donors paying by standing order, held up well with only a small reduction from 2019 and the total from donations from giving envelopes and collections at services increased despite the national lockdowns curtailing services. A legacy donation of £1,000 from Timothy Forbes Adam helped the total of other donations to exceed last year. However, there were no weddings or funerals and only interment of ashes and all fund raising activities had to cease in March so fund raising of £8,631 in 2019 fell to just £923. Total receipts of £11,752 fell by 45% from last year. Most costs were similar to last year but unfortunately the costs of £2,130 for clearing a big lime tree from the churchyard and £1,254 for new tables and chairs meant there was less money available for donations and payment of the Parish Share; paid 60% of the total allocated. The overall result was that expenditure exceeded income by £4,434 and this reduced cash funds at the year end to £13,581, of which only £5,400 was unrestricted funds. ## **St Lawrence Church, Gotham** Current account Nat West Bank is £10,034.27. Bell Fund account, strictly for the bells, £1,336.35. Cash in hand £30.17. Total £11,400.79. Of this, Agency money (not ours) -£377.06. (£108 owing from funeral fees paid to Southwell) Grand total of £11,023.73 . We are still holding £485.06 for the Natal Container fund. £90.82 is restricted for children's activities, £150 restricted for the church clock, £750 restricted for fabric/repairs. Designated is £2,738.76 for fabric/repairs/maintenance, part of which this year will be used for urgent tree work in the churchyard. Of the £11,023.73 just £6,082.63 is in the General Fund. We have no reserves. From the Receipts and Payments report, our total Income is £54,844.67 and payments £58,990.27 a deficiency of £4,145.60. We paid £35,198 as Parish Share, £1,500 per month to the A453 bank account and the balance half yearly. This has been increased for 2021 to £2,800 per month to the A453 bank, and the balance at year end. A sum of £400 per month was put into a fund for repairs and maintenance, but we have now cancelled this, it will just about cover the balance of 2021 Parish Share, and we are trying to keep our expenditure to a minimum. The plate collections have suffered greatly with no church services, so we have circulated a letter to regular church members asking to amend, or set up, a standing order to include what would have been put on the collection plate. We are hopeful for a positive response, spring is here, and we may meet together once again (distanced of course). Can we once again thank Debbie Anderton for being our Independent Examiner. ## **St Winifred's Church, Kingston-on-Soar** Regular giving, from 33 donors paying by standing order, had only a small reduction from 2019 and this was more than made up by one off covenanted donations. Collections from services, however, fell by almost half due to the long periods of closure and sundry donations were minor. Funeral fees were boosted by two funerals but the two weddings booked in the year were both postponed till next year. The annual music concert was cancelled and overall income of £12,585 was 21% below last year. The Parish Share was paid in full and running costs increased mainly due to a cost of £1,296 for mowing grass in 2018 and 2019 which was not invoiced until 2020. The overall result was that expenditure exceeded income by £3,378. 7 ## **Holy Trinity Church, Ratcliffe-on-Soar** Regular giving, from 10 donors paying by standing order, held up well with only a small reduction from 2019 and the total from collections at services increased despite the shutdowns as people generously made donations covering the shutdown periods. Direct donations (eBay sales) were nearly £600 for the third year running but wall box and other donations were significantly lower due to the church being closed for long periods and the benefit from the fundraising campaign being restricted to 2019. Wedding and funeral fees dropped by nearly half and the main fund raising events were both cancelled. Total income dropped by 27% and the only bright spot was a grant of £750 towards the cost of window repairs by Allchurches Trust. There were no major repairs in the year and other running costs increased only slightly from the previous year. The church continued to make its usual donations and paid its Parish Share in full but this led to an overall deficit of £2,389 in the year. Total funds at the year end were £22,534, of which £9,536 was designated, £10,000 was invested in the CCLA Investment Fund (rate of return 4.2%) and only £2,998 was unrestricted. ## **All Saints Church, Thrumpton** Regular giving fell by 24% as a small number of donors ceased giving but at the year end the number of donors paying by standing order was back up to 17. Collections held up well despite the reduced number of services and gift aid was boosted by £339 for a small donations scheme claim for the previous two years. Other donations included £1,000 from the late Timothy Forbes Adam and fees for services were boosted by two weddings and one funeral. Flowers In Thrumpton made a donation of £500 from last year's proceeds but the event was cancelled this year. Total income of £9,873 was 6% below last year. Magazine and clergy expenses showed a big increase only because an arrears was caught up but this was partly offset by fees for visiting ministers and organist being eliminated due to the long periods of closure. Running costs included a major increase in electricity, a cost which has varied widely in the last few years as the amount of the direct debit has gone up and down but needs further investigation, and £511 for repairs to grass mower and felling two yew trees. The church continued to make some donations and paid the amount of Parish Share that it thought it could afford. This resulted in a small surplus of £969 for the year and total funds at the year end were £10,699, of which £8,666 was unrestricted. ## **Overall Benefice** In 2019 over 13% of total income came from fundraising activities but this was reduced to a negligible amount in 2020. All churches continued to pay their running costs as they fell due but this left a lower amount for donations and payment of the Parish Share. 82% of the Parish Share allocated to the Benefice by the Diocese was paid this year. 8 rOOln J o ￿￿￿0¢0 t7) (ry ¢y O (D 14 0 D r O U) OC*iY• LD mf>Jn ¢* or Lrj o r ) ￿ Lrj >c5iL LL ro L) (D ¢D No rts- ¢7J ID ¢N om ￿)- O¢DO Cil (TJ r Ir C4 ¢￿￿UL}￿o)0(OUi LL oftt Ihe year 31 D￿mber 2020 Bank: Mr Cmd Oatey sedTh 14gSKbl of thè cl￿￿$ A¢ in the ac¢￿ts, arKI seekng explanalh)n5 from you 8$ t[￿Stee$ CorKe￿ry any >Jch matters.
