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 approximately every three months. 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|| |_Parish Safeguarding Officer:_|Mrs Anne Farnsworth|| |_Deputy Lead Recruiter:_|Mary Stephens|| |_Treasurer:_|Mr Graham Grocock|| |_Representatives on the_|Mrs Janet State|| |_Deanery Synod:_|Mrs Julie Moore|| |_Elected Members:_|Mrs Sue Davies|_Until APCM_| ||Mrs Pat Harrison|| ||Mrs Diana Beeby|_Until APCM_| ||Mr Peter Hawcock|_Until APCM_| ||Mrs Sonya Hawkins|| ||Mrs Louise Third|_Until APCM_| ||Mrs Carole Edis|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Bridget Plimmer|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Erica Turner|_From APCM_| ||Mrs Chris Pilnick|_From APCM_| 3 **THE A453 CHURCHES (BARTON | GOTHAM | KINGSTON | RATCLIFFE | THRUMPTON)** ## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** ## **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. 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. ## _Worship and Prayer_ The number of people on the Parish Electoral Roll during the year was 97 (100 in 2022) and the average weekly attendance at Sunday Services, counted during October was 78 (96 in 2022), but this number increased at festivals and family services. St Lawrence Church Gotham is open on a Saturday morning providing refreshments and is well attended by an increasing number of people from the village. Our Family Fun Service, which is held once a month at 4pm continues to be run by lay people in the Church has a steady core of people attending. We continue to have a number of lay people who lead services on a regular basis at all five churches. We also have 4 lay people preaching regularly each month. Our online service continues to be available via our website which has attracted people from the wider community; and for the church members who are not online we have continued the printed service sheet and sermon for them each week. This year we had 4 young people who have made the decision to take their faith in Jesus seriously and publicly affirmed their faith and were confirmed by the Bishop. 4 ## _Pastoral Care_ Some members of our Parish are 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 in their homes, hospital or care home. Anne Farnsworth has continued to organise volunteers to visit or telephone all who are sick or unable to get out for any other reason to keep them in touch with Church life. Around half of our combined congregations are members of one of our four 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. 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 them. We held funerals for 2 church members who sadly died during the year. ## _Mission and Evangelism_ Our parish magazine (circulation c.1,070 households), named “Connection”, continues to be an important means of promoting the Church’s mission, work and activities to the local communities as well as providing articles of interest to the communities. Our community cinema is still appreciated by those who come. 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. Our Opening The Book team have been going in to Gotham Primary School once a month to take assemblies in the school, which is much appreciated by staff and pupils. 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; as her involvement at the Academy had been curtailed due to continuing Covid concerns she started a weekly Youth Group at Gotham straight after school to which we have a regular core of 10 young people along with about half a dozen occasional attenders. This year we collected 117 shoeboxes, 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. We ran the Hope Explored course in January over 3 Wednesday evenings and had a total of 35 people come, with 5 being non-Church. We have also run a pilot of the Bereavement Journey Course in September with 4 people with very positive feedback and so will be looking to advertise this to the wider community later on this year. Gotham’s Memorial Hall was destroyed by fire in February and Gotham Church has been able to regularly host a number of those groups affected in the Church, a number of which have said that they wish to remain in the Church even once the Hall is rebuilt. ## _Gotham Church Hall_ The Gotham Local Management Group had taken the decision to sell the Church Hall, which suffered from disrepair and obsolescence, as discussions with other village organisations came to nothing. This was done in 2022 and the proceeds of the sale will be restricted for Ecclesiastical purposes only. Little Cherubs Toddler Group have relocated to the Church and changed their name to Cherub’s Play Café. Cherub’s Play Café continue to meet on a Friday morning during term time with over 30 families attending which is around double the number we had when in the Church Hall. Run by Anna Marsden, Fiona Coleman, Elaine Inskeep and Louise Third, they continue to provide a well resourced toddler group. The Bible and song time continue to be very popular and a good number of families stay right to the end of each session to join in with this. A lot of the Christian songs have been learnt and remembered by the children and parents who happily sing along. ## _Barton’s Land (“Amen Field”)_ In 2018 the A453 road was widened to become a dual carriageway and as part of this widening the Highway Authority compulsory purchased about 50% of a field known as “Amen Field” which belonged to St George’s Church, Barton in Fabis. This land was registered under The Unknown Donors Charity (216015) and the income is to be put towards the repair of the church in Barton. A number of legal matters prevented the Highway Authority from completing the purchase of the land and providing compensation to Barton Church. This matter was finally completed in 2023 with Barton Church receiving £11,667 which is reserved for the upkeep of the Church. The Deputy Churchwardens, Carole Edis and Sue Davis, as well as the Rector, would like to express their appreciation and gratitude for the assistance that the PCC Secretary, Ray State, has provided in pursuing this matter with both the Highway Authority’s representative and the Diocese. 5 ## _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 of England. ## _Ecumenical Relationships_ The Anglican church is the only church in the villages, but prior to the Covid lockdowns, once a month, St Lawrence Church Gotham was made available for a Methodist service. This offer has still not been taken up by the Methodist circuit since the pandemic ended. ## _Financial Review_ 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, the majority of which provides the stipends and housing of the Clergy. 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 - being able to accommodate differing groups from the Memorial Hall within the Church could not have been done without it. ## _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 Erica Turner who have worked so tirelessly on our behalf. And to also thank our treasurer, Graham Grocock, for his continuing efforts with the accounts. _Signed on behalf of the Parochial Church Council on 12th May 2024 by:_ Revd Richard Coleman (Rector & Chairman of the PCC). 6 **THE A453 CHURCHES (BARTON | GOTHAM | KINGSTON | RATCLIFFE | THRUMPTON)** ## **FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** The combined total of unrestricted income for the benefice for the year ended 31st December 2023 was £131,629 and restricted income amounted to £22,150, giving total income of £153,779 from normal church activities. This included a significant legacy donation, and without that the total would be a little lower than last year’s £127,052. Within total income the total for planned giving reduced a little to £61,617 (including Gift Aid) from 126 donors, 6 fewer than last year, but collections at services amounted to £16,261 (including Gift Aid) an increase of 22%. Fundraising activities raised £9,817 but almost two thirds of that was at Barton. Grants received in the year were insignificant. In addition to normal church income, a payment of £10,363 was finally received at Barton for the land taken when the A453 was widened. Parish share was the biggest cost and the payment of £64,457 was 77% of the allocation made by the Diocese and 49% of our total unrestricted income. Repair and maintenance costs are always a problem as our churches are all Grade I or II Listed Buildings, with these costs exceeding £1,000 at all the churches except Thrumpton. Major repairs have started on the churchyard wall at Kingston and windows at Ratcliffe. The next largest costs were insurance at £12,692, despite taking a claims excess of £10,000 to reduce premiums, and gas & electricity at £6,610, even after a grant of £1,000 from the Diocese and £300 from the Government so costs in 2024 may be significantly higher. Donations to charities have reduced in recent years as money has become tighter at some churches and amounted to £730. Total expenditure amounted to £125,690, resulting in a net surplus across the five churches of £38,452, half of it restricted. Total unrestricted cash (bank balances and Church of England Deposit Fund) at 31st December 2023 amounted to £81,074 and restricted cash amounted to £205,832, most of that being from the sale of the Church Hall at Gotham. The market value of shares in the CCLA Investment Fund at the year end was £99,044. 7 ## ST.

All the funds in the CCLA Investment Fund are either restricted for the Babington Monument or designated for the fabric fund so the dividends paid by the CCLA Investment Fund are likewise part restricted and part designated to the fabric fund. All the dividends paid are transferred into the CBF Deposit Fund so part of the money in the Deposit Fund is restricted and part is designated for the fabric fund.
