Attendante numbers are being maintained, but it must be admitted that growth is limited and this impacts on revenue, particularly with regards to the cost of utilities. The introdurtion of a Sum-up machine in the church has increased the revenue flow via contactless donations and there is always a positive response to fundraising efforts. However, fundraising and fabric matters particularly the repair of the Transept roofs remain a strong focus for PCC meetings. It is acknowledged that there will continue to be challenges for the year ahead including filling vacant posts on the PCC and the raising of revenue to support and maintaln the fabric of the building to an effective level, so it can continue as a resource that serves the community. Nevertheless, and above all, the PCC aim is to continue with the work of growing church and building community, thereby resulting in transformed lives. Summary The PCC Continues to be indebted to all those who contribute their time, their skill or financially to keep the church open and serving the community. It is appreciated that this has not always been easy, however, it has been very worthwhile, for such efforts have given both the PCC and the community a gllmp5e of God's work in action.

Louise Oram Wirk5worth Team Ministry Parish Safeguarding Officer Team Council Re ort 2024 Team Council met in person In July and November during 2024, with an extraordlnary meeting in April to approve the proposed Team Vicar profile. Much of the business for the Team Council meetings in 2024 were concerned with advertlsing for a. new Team Vicar, which despite a satisfying amount of online interest, had yet to result in any suitable candidates. The process will continue into 2025. On 15tJuly 24, the clergy were augmented by the arrival of the Team Curate, Revd Nicholas Radford-Powell. Sadly. the clergy numbers were re(luced by the resignations of Revd Robert Rhodes, and Revd John Spreadborough, and by the death of Revd Canon Martin Hulbert. There was some discussion throughout the year regarding the Five Marks of Mission and how PCCS could engage with them effectively. Revd N Griffiths, analysis was that in the main, the WTM churches were good at responding to needs of other5 but could improve with regards to promoting mission. Currently, Team-wide this centres on the Make a Joyful Noise services throughout the parishes and it was felt that this is an element that could be improved on. To thi5 end, it is proposed to hold a Mission 25 event in 2025 with the objective of engaging with the people of Wirksworth across the age spectrum through a range of sessions not only for the community but also within the schools. With increased mission engagement, it is hoped that there will be an increased uptake in filling PCC posts. The Team Council policies were due for review in February 24, the Team Rector is working on producing updated drafts during 2025. The Social Team organised a Social and Quiz in October that was only attended by 2 parishes. The Team Worship Group organised 'Make A Joyful Noise, celebrations through the year around the parishes. The Team Council takes the collective responsibility for safeguarding those most vulnerable seriously. In 2024 DBS check5 for those who require them continued to be completed, and all PCCS were encouraged to ensure safeguarding appeared as an item on PCC'S agendas and APCMS and that appropriate training was tompleted. The introduction of the Parish Dashboard and Hub, maintained by the PSO on behalf ot the PCCS ha5 greatly assisting with this. The end of year finance report from Tracy Lewis.
