**2024 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of The Trinity Parish** 

## **Trustees Annual Report for the Parochial Church Council of The Trinity Parish** 

## **Aims and Purposes** 

Trinity Parochial Church Council (PCC) is responsible for cooperating with the Incumbent, the Revd Peter Lillicrap in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance and insurance of St Mark’s Church Layton and St Luke’s Church Staining and for Hope Church. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship in our churches and to become part of the Trinity parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups living in our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through growing opportunities for service to the local population. 

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In keeping with the Diocesan initiative, “Vision 2026” our objectives can be summarised as the growth of the Church and Parish Centre in the service of the local community as well as those who share our life from further afield. 

We try to enable individuals to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

- Worship and prayer; learning about the gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. 

- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. 

- Missionary and outreach work. 

## **Financial Report** 

Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £82,119 (2023 £98,440) of which £60,700 (2023 £78,638) were unrestricted voluntary donations. 

Our parish share for the year was £ 60,853 and we are grateful to have received a grant of £22,292 as we are classed as a low-income community towards Parish Share. We also received support from the diocese towards the cost of heating leaving a balance of £32,748 (2023 £32,748) which was paid in full. Parish Share is a voluntary payment to the Diocese and provides in the main for the stipend, housing and pension contributions of clergy and also training for both ordained and lay people. 

Planned giving was reduced slightly during the year as was unplanned giving so overall our giving decreased in 2024. The support from the congregation in terms of giving remains good, and it is helpful that many now give their donations through standing orders, which ensures a stable income and allows the PCC to plan effectively for spending. 

St Luke’s and Hope Church now have contactless portable machines, and this is proving helpful as there is generally less cash in use and ideal for moving to different locations. A big thank you to the people who gave so generously in supporting the purchasing of the machines. 

During the year we paid out £67,304 on major repairs at St Mark’s and were grateful for grant funding of £17,069 to help with these costs. 

The generosity of our congregations is underpinned by their enthusiasm to continue to spread the good news of the risen Lord throughout the parish. It is a testament to those congregations of the past, present and with God’s help, the future. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

4 



## **2024 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of The Trinity Parish** 

At £31,940 (2023 £62,009) the unrestricted cash reserves were equivalent to just over 3 months’ outgoings. This reduction is because of the planned use of reserves for the Building for the Future project. 

## **Vicar’s Report for 2024** 

This year has been a year of joys and challenges. We have during this year said goodbye to Greg (LLM) and Catherine Doughty (ALM and Café outreach manager) who left the Church of England. Administration support at the start of the year was much reduced as we found a temporary replacement for 4 hours a week as we had been unable to recruit a much-needed replacement. In May Wendy Reeds started in her role (16 hours a week) as PA to the Area Dean and Vicar of the Trinity Parish and has become an integral part of the team. We have accepted the invitation to be a part of the diocesan renewal programme using the Leading your Church into growth material at the end of 2024 which has fitted very well with the Diocesan year of prayer in 2025. 

With the changes in staffing, we have once again had to review our ministries and made the hard decision to close our Trinity Café outreach ministry after 9 years. We had provided space and food for over a 100 people a week on a Thursday and Sunday. We also saw the Celebrate Recovery group move away from St Mark’s. We can celebrate that many people who are often rejected by society have been helped and seen something of the good news of Jesus through this ministry. The Trintiots group also closed during the year as the group that met for various reasons were unable to continue. We give thanks for Diane Cox’s leadership of this group. 

The Triniteens Youth group continues to flourish, and I am very grateful to the team of volunteers that support this ministry. We have looked to continue our partnership with The Message Trust to run a fully funded government approved PHSE programme (RespectMe) in the Secondary schools. However, this has not proved possible in 2024, but we remain hopeful. The group has had monthly invitational and welcome events alongside bible studies with themed games. 

Triniteas has continued with grateful thanks to Mark Surtees and the Team delivering a high-quality afternoon tea alongside interesting evangelistic talks.  It has been a real joy to see new people joining us for worship across the parish. 

It has been great to see the deepening of faith of all those who attend the bible study groups both on a Monday and Friday alongside the additional food for thought as part of the Wednesday communion services. Both the numbers attending and the deepening of faith have been a real encouragement. The Alpha course and the joint Holy Spirit Day with Blackpool St John’s was a particular highlight of the Monday evening group. 

We have during 2024 enjoyed some excellent teaching in our sermon series across the parish. 

St Mark’s Layton has seen a further reduction in numbers as we have said goodbye to a number of faithful servants. We are seeing the results of the building work and the commitment of the PCC to deliver the changes needed at St Mark’s with the toilet now complete and the start of the work on the porch.  We have been extremely grateful to the Diocese in helping us deliver these much-needed improvements. 

St Luke’s Staining has continued to re-establish a faithful worshipping community. The relationship with Staining C of E primary school has gone from strength to strength with thanks to Rev’d Canon Dr Simon Cox for the weekly collective acts of worship. The All-Age Christingle was supported by the headteacher Carla Nugent, teachers and children alike from the school and we look forward to continuing to develop the links during 2025. The St Luke’s steering group continues to meet regularly, and it has been great to see the differences not just at St Luke’s but across the parish that this has made. 

Hope Community Church has continued with its regular programme as far as has been possible, however, with the Boathouse undergoing building work has meant a move to argosy and then to St Michael’s Vicarage for the Sunday afternoon worship. This has meant a curtailing of various ministries such as the All-Age meal and the men’s group. The Wednesday Evening prayers and Bingo has

**2024 Report and Accounts for the Parochial Church Council of The Trinity Parish** 

continued along with the Friday Drop in although numbers have struggled with this.  The Steering group has met and continues to provide guidance to the church. Two members of HCC Dee and Allison joined the PCC in May last year. The funding available for HCC and encouraging mission in Blackpool and beyond came to an end in December 2024. 

We explored running Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Life skills courses during the year however were unable to run one. We hope over the coming year to partner with CAP as we seek to develop once again our outreach ministries. It was great to run a Christmas meal for 60 partnering with the comfort Café volunteers. 

We have been grateful to see the further development of the Pastoral Care Team under the leadership of Caroline Lillicrap with establishing the rota for the prayer corner at St Mark’s after the Sunday service and the pastoral care now shared among the 19 members of the team. The Team met on a few occasions at St Mark’s Vicarage during 2024. 

As a parish we have worked hard to update all our Safeguarding records onto the Parish Dashboards and hub, and we are very grateful to the team especially Sarah Gardner as the PSO for her work in leading this. 

We enter the new year with a sense of grateful thanks and hope founded on our faith in God that whatever challenges we may face we can face them with joy and confidence that he is faithful.  May God bless you as you serve him. 

Prayer requests: 

- Give thanks for Wendy’s appointment as PA to the Area Dean and Vicar. 

- Give thanks for the Bible study groups. 

- Continue to Pray for completion of the St Mark’s building project. 

- Pray for the growth of each church in the parish. 

- Pray for the building work at the boathouse youth centre to be completed so that HCC can open its service there again.

## **Independent Examiners’ Report** 

Independent Examiner's Report to the members/trustees of Trinity Parish 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2024 which are set out on pages 8-14 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

As trustees of the charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention. 

1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act: or 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The negative balance of £6,250 on the 2 St Mark’s Place repair fund is covered by a donation of £5,000 received in January 2025 and Gift Aid received after the year-end on donations of £5,000 received during 2024. 

## Transfers 

The transfers between funds relate to 

- Donations to the general fund of £228 initially allocated to the general fund which were later asked to be split 50% each to the St Mark’s and St Luke’s building funds. 

- Balance on Romania Appeal of £120 which the donor requested be transferred to the general fund together with any future donations. 

- The Trinity Community Café balance of £3,363 should have been a designated rather than restricted account.  It has now been renamed the Trinity Community Outreach Fund and is a designated fund.
