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 Councils Measure and has formerly been excepted by order from registering with the Charity Commission. However, since income in 2019 exceeded £100,000 the PCC is now registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC operates through committees which meet as and when required and report back to the full Council.
Standing Committee/Leadership Team:
The standing committee is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact business of the PCC between meetings. Its proceedings are not always made public.
The Leadership Team oversees the general finances of the Church, recommending to the PCC increases in salaries paid to staff, grants given to organisations during the year, and the preparation of the annual budget and the annual accounts. An overview of the proceedings is produced by the Priest-in-Charge.
Wheatley Churches Together
A committee of members from Churches in Wheatley, Doncaster, which meets on a regular basis to discuss joint events throughout the year. The 2 Anglican Churches, the Methodist and the Baptist Church are each represented on this committee.
Fabric/Buildings Committee:
Looks at the maintenance of the building, ensuring that repairs are carried out as required.
(Due to Covid 19 restrictions continuing in 2021, many of the Church’s usual activities have been curtailed, although the PCC has continued to meet and important decisions have been taken – sometimes electronically.)

Objectives and Activities
St. Mary’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church. It also has the responsibility of maintaining the Church building with the hall attached to it.
Achievements and Performance
Church Attendance
The new Electoral Roll, presented at the 2021 AGM, contained 68 names. Twelve new names had been added, with the removal of 2 people who had been removed, following their moving away from the area. Average weekly attendance during October for the Sunday service was slightly increased from the previous year, at 65, despite the fact that some members of the regular congregation were still shielding as a result of Covid 19. Services continued to be available online in the early part of 2021, as well as printed copies of the service being delivered to members at home without online provision. Latterly, the sermon is recorded each week and posted online. Attendance on Easter Sunday was 78, but life was still far from ‘normal’ and 54 on Christmas Day (43 in 2020). A Sunday morning crèche for pre-school children began in September, due to the increasing number of children in that age group!
Review of the Year
Despite on-going restrictions as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, we have been able to continue to maintain the integrity of our buildings and continue with mission and outreach activities of the Church. The risk assessment which was carried in July 2020 has been regularly reviewed against changing guidance and practices.
The full PCC met on 6 occasions during the year - 4 on Zoom and 2 Face to face. The Standing Committee functions as the Finance Committee and Leadership Team and makes recommendations to the PCC. As the Leadership Team, it met on Zoom during the lockdowns to ensure that ever-changing rules and guidelines were implemented correctly. The Treasurer has also kept us up to date with the financial position of the Church at each meeting. No reports from our representatives on the Deanery Synod and Wheatley Churches Together have been received by the Council due to lack of meetings of these bodies. Emily Hobbs continued to serve on the General Synod until Oct 2021 when she was not re-elected. During that time, she attended meetings online, informing us in reports of matters discussed.
Craig Taylor (Associate Minister) reduced his hours to 2 days from September 2021 when he commenced his Church of England Minister Training. The PCC agreed to continue to employ Ali Sayers-Flood (Women’s Worker), to fund an increasing share of the cost of Becky Forrest (Children’s Worker) and to retain Ellie O’Leary (Ministry Trainee) until August 2022. The staff has put much time and energy into enabling our technology, to continue to support online meetings and small groups during long periods when no face to face meetings were allowed. The PCC has given Rosemary Neill permission to officiate as Reader for another year and is grateful for her ongoing service to the church and community.
The PCC was alerted by our patron, Hyndman’s, that there had been an historic link with slavery. Following prayer and discussion it was decided to distance ourselves from Hyndman’s, and to request a change of patron. The PCC also agreed to support a Christian charity (International Justice Mission) which combats modern day slavery, both in prayer and with 10% of our grant funding.
The Fabric Committee has been resurrected as the Buildings Committee, to support the Wardens in the maintenance and development of the buildings, including external and corridor lighting, improvement of the function of the existing sound desk, maintenance of the gutters, with plans to make good the internal paintwork and the installation of sound absorbing boards in the hall. Additional work is required to repair the leaking corridor roof, and maintenance of the woodwork.
Early in the year, the PCC discussed the possibility of Bible Training Yorkshire finding a ‘new home’ in St

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 Councils Measure and has formerly been excepted by order from registering with the Charity Commission. However, since income in 2019 exceeded £100,000 the PCC is now registered with the Charity Commission. The PCC operates through committees which meet as and when required and report back to the full Council.
Standing Committee/Leadership Team:
The standing committee is the only committee required by law. It has the power to transact business of the PCC between meetings. Its proceedings are not always made public.
The Leadership Team oversees the general finances of the Church, recommending to the PCC increases in salaries paid to staff, grants given to organisations during the year, and the preparation of the annual budget and the annual accounts. An overview of the proceedings is produced by the Priest-in-Charge.
Wheatley Churches Together
A committee of members from Churches in Wheatley, Doncaster, which meets on a regular basis to discuss joint events throughout the year. The 2 Anglican Churches, the Methodist and the Baptist Church are each represented on this committee.
Fabric/Buildings Committee:
Looks at the maintenance of the building, ensuring that repairs are carried out as required.
(Due to Covid 19 restrictions continuing in 2021, many of the Church’s usual activities have been curtailed, although the PCC has continued to meet and important decisions have been taken – sometimes electronically.)

Objectives and Activities
St. Mary’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church. It also has the responsibility of maintaining the Church building with the hall attached to it.
Achievements and Performance
Church Attendance
The new Electoral Roll, presented at the 2021 AGM, contained 68 names. Twelve new names had been added, with the removal of 2 people who had been removed, following their moving away from the area. Average weekly attendance during October for the Sunday service was slightly increased from the previous year, at 65, despite the fact that some members of the regular congregation were still shielding as a result of Covid 19. Services continued to be available online in the early part of 2021, as well as printed copies of the service being delivered to members at home without online provision. Latterly, the sermon is recorded each week and posted online. Attendance on Easter Sunday was 78, but life was still far from ‘normal’ and 54 on Christmas Day (43 in 2020). A Sunday morning crèche for pre-school children began in September, due to the increasing number of children in that age group!
Review of the Year
Despite on-going restrictions as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, we have been able to continue to maintain the integrity of our buildings and continue with mission and outreach activities of the Church. The risk assessment which was carried in July 2020 has been regularly reviewed against changing guidance and practices.
The full PCC met on 6 occasions during the year - 4 on Zoom and 2 Face to face. The Standing Committee functions as the Finance Committee and Leadership Team and makes recommendations to the PCC. As the Leadership Team, it met on Zoom during the lockdowns to ensure that ever-changing rules and guidelines were implemented correctly. The Treasurer has also kept us up to date with the financial position of the Church at each meeting. No reports from our representatives on the Deanery Synod and Wheatley Churches Together have been received by the Council due to lack of meetings of these bodies. Emily Hobbs continued to serve on the General Synod until Oct 2021 when she was not re-elected. During that time, she attended meetings online, informing us in reports of matters discussed.
Craig Taylor (Associate Minister) reduced his hours to 2 days from September 2021 when he commenced his Church of England Minister Training. The PCC agreed to continue to employ Ali Sayers-Flood (Women’s Worker), to fund an increasing share of the cost of Becky Forrest (Children’s Worker) and to retain Ellie O’Leary (Ministry Trainee) until August 2022. The staff has put much time and energy into enabling our technology, to continue to support online meetings and small groups during long periods when no face to face meetings were allowed. The PCC has given Rosemary Neill permission to officiate as Reader for another year and is grateful for her ongoing service to the church and community.
The PCC was alerted by our patron, Hyndman’s, that there had been an historic link with slavery. Following prayer and discussion it was decided to distance ourselves from Hyndman’s, and to request a change of patron. The PCC also agreed to support a Christian charity (International Justice Mission) which combats modern day slavery, both in prayer and with 10% of our grant funding.
The Fabric Committee has been resurrected as the Buildings Committee, to support the Wardens in the maintenance and development of the buildings, including external and corridor lighting, improvement of the function of the existing sound desk, maintenance of the gutters, with plans to make good the internal paintwork and the installation of sound absorbing boards in the hall. Additional work is required to repair the leaking corridor roof, and maintenance of the woodwork.
Early in the year, the PCC discussed the possibility of Bible Training Yorkshire finding a ‘new home’ in St
