Aims and Purposes

All Saints PCC has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of All Saints Church and All Saints Church Hall in Sapcote.

Objectives and Activities

All Saints Church, Sapcote belongs to the world-wide Christian family. In response to God's love for us, we will:

Love God

Love others as ourselves

Make Jesus known to others

In addition to the usual statutory business, All Saints PCC engaged in the following activities during 2024:

. Purchase of a safe to ensure the security of historic documents and other items of value

. Enrolment in the Eco Church award scheme designed to celebrate the positive steps we are taking toward caring for God’s creation. We have been given a bronze award and are looking at which changes we could make to enable us to apply for the silver award.

. Purchase of a ‘half-step’ to improve access for members of the congregation when going up into the chancel for Holy Communion

.· Purchase of a CollecTin card reader to enable givers to donate by card more easily Providing a range of worship for the parish is important to us and with our regular rota of a thriving Messy Church, Café Church and two services of Holy Communion each month as well as joint benefice services with St. Helen’s when there is a fifth Sunday in the month we feel that is going well. We also held services for significant days in the Church year, hosting the benefice service of Holy Communion with the imposition of ashes for Ash Wednesday. On Palm Sunday our friends from St Helen’s joined us for a benefice service with members of both congregations taking part in a dramatized reading of the Passion Gospel. We have occasionally also had some reflective services of Evening Prayer which have been well attended and appreciated.

In June the annual Archdeacon’s Visitation service for Sparkenhoe West and Guthlaxton Deaneries was held at All Saints. It was a really uplifting service as churchwardens from across the two deaneries were sworn in and the music and singing were fabulous!

September saw another visit from Archdeacon Claire Wood as she came to re-commission our Local Ministry Team.

Throughout the year we have continued our ecumenical links with Sapcote Methodist Church, working together to run a lively event for families in the Easter holidays and to enter a float in the newly reinstated Sapcote Carnival. On that occasion we also had a ‘Churches Together in Sapcote’ marquee on the playing field providing crafts and prayer activities which were much appreciated by the villagers. We shared worship with Sapcote Methodist Church on three occasions throughout the year and following the joint service in August we had a time of fellowship over a picnic in their outdoor space.

The annual Fun Run in June attracted members of the community we had not met before and the threatening rain clouds did not dampen the enthusiasm of the runners and walkers who took part.

Our relationship with All Saints School continues to grow with our Open the Book team going into school on a fortnightly basis and the Rector and other members of the extended ministry team also leading Collective Worship. In the Spring term years 3 and 4 held their Easter service in church and in July we held the Leavers service for the outgoing Year 6 children. Just before the end of term at Christmas, years 5 and 6 held their Christmas service in church which included times of reflection as the children considered questions such as, ‘Where do we see Jesus at Christmas time?’ and ‘What gift would you bring to Jesus?’. Their responses ranged from the extremely practical to the deeply profound.

In November we joined in the Tearfund ‘Big Quiz’ and an enjoyable evening was had in the church hall with eight enthusiastic teams competing and we raised around £440 for the charity.

During the year we held one wedding (stepping in at short notice as the couple’s original plans had fallen through), three funerals, two burials of ashes and six baptisms, including that of an adult member of our congregation during the Holy Communion service for Christ the King.

Looking ahead

As we move into 2025 we are now beginning the process of forming Minster Communities in this part of the diocese. We continue to pray for the discernment process and that we will be able to form suitable partnerships with local parishes with whom we can work together well.

As a PCC we have begun to look at our church building and we are giving consideration to some changes which will help us to grow our regular offerings of worship and service to the community.

A note from the Rector

I’d like to thank my fabulous Churchwardens Jill Matthews and Dave Hazlewood, and special thanks must go to Christine Dixon, Deputy Churchwarden, as she steps down from the role after many years of devoted service to All Saints. I’d also like to thank the PCC and Ministry Team, the musicians, bellringers, sidespeople, admin support, hall bookings organisers, projectionists, readers, pray-ers, helpers, flower arrangers, sweeper uppers and makers of tea – everyone who contributes to the life of All Saints in any way. You are all making it possible for us to share the love of God with the people of the parish of All Saints Sapcote and that, after all, is what we’re here for. Thank you!

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a standing item on all PCC agendas and action plans have been presented to update the PCC on the position of All Saints with regards to the DBS certificates and training status of those members for whom clearance is vital.

Training undertaken by members of the church during the year included modules in Domestic Abuse Awareness, Basic and Foundation level, Leadership level and Safer Recruitment and People Management.

With DBS and Safeguarding training, the people involved have roles with children and adults, PCC, bellringing, schools eg Open the Book, Hope project etc. The PCC wishes to thank Janet Gaten and Di Harrold for their hard work in this vital area.

Hope 2024 Report

The Hope initiative began in November 2020 and since then, the churches of Sapcote and Sharnford have supported local families struggling financially by providing hampers of food and/or Aldi vouchers during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays. All families are nominated by the schools and churches.

The purchase of the vouchers and fresh produce has been possible through various grants and donations. In 2024, we received grants from the Hinckley Area Food Bank, Blaby District Council, Sapcote and Sharnford Parish Councils and the Heart of England CO-OP to help cover our costs. We have also received generous donations from church congregations and individuals. We are exceedingly grateful for all of this financial support and everyone who has helped in any way whether it be by delivering, packing or most importantlypraying. Because of this, we were able to deliver 103 Hope hampers in 2024.

Fabric report for 2024

In February 2024 the fire extinguishers in both the church building and hall were checked and found to be in good working order. The lightning conductor was also checked and found to be in good working order too.

The Terrier & Church inventory were both checked by the Rector, the Churchwardens, and representatives of the PCC prior to the APCM.

The hall boiler was serviced in March and Boilercare came out to sort out a problem later in the year. However, there were further problems with the heating in the hall in November which Dave Harrold looked into. The problem was referred back to Worcester-Bosch, who came out to fix the issue in December as the boiler was still under warranty. There continues to be the issue of the dual pole isolator which needs to be addressed.

In May, two high level lights in the church building were replaced by Icon Electrical Services.

The organ was serviced in June by Cousans Organs Ltd and subsequently, recommendations were made for repairs. (These were carried out in 2025)

The church boiler was serviced at the beginning of September and as usual, new belts were fitted.

Insurance cover for the Church building and Hall was renewed at 100% of insurance company's valuation.

The hall and church cleaning rota remained unchanged - the hall was cleaned twice a month and the Church once a month. The Messy Church team, especially Dave Harrold and Jim Matthews, continued to clean and tidy after Messy Church.

Portable Electrical items are not due for re-testing (PAT testing) until September 2027.

Many people regularly contribute their time, skills and energy to supporting the running and maintenance of the church buildings as well as those who are involved in the letting of the hall – thank you!

Treasurer's Report Year Ending 31 December 2024

Overview

The accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis. At the end of 2024, the total financial assets of our church were down from £52,908 at the end of 2023 to £46,922 - a decrease of £5,986. This is obviously a significant drop. The most significant single unusual expense was the purchase of the church safe and additional keys at £2,304. Another significant factor mentioned in the 2023 report was that our insurance payment was artificially low in 2023 because of a switch from annual payments to monthly payments, with the result that this year we have paid £2,611 more.

Our contribution to the Diocese of £20,212 for 2024, up slightly from £20,000 in 2023.

Regular Giving to the church general fund by church members (i.e. not including giving to Messy Church or to special appeals such as Hope) – which is made up of standing orders, regular “envelope” giving, cash collections from church services, and now also contactless giving and giving via an online link– has decreased from £27,815 in 2023 to £24,969 in 2024 (a 10% decrease). The Gift Aid reclaim is also slightly down from £5,571 in 2023 to £5,344 in 2024. The main factor here is that the number of people giving regularly has decreased. Those that do give regularly have either maintained or increased their giving, and it has to be said that there is a core of church members who continue to give very generously and faithfully.

Energy bills (church and hall combined): After a massive increase in 2023, energy costs have decreased from £6,792 in 2023 to £4,635 in 2024.

The generosity and amount of charitable work carried out by our benefice congregations continues to be exemplary. The Hope project in particular has been carried out in partnership with our sister church St Helen’s and also Sapcote Methodist Church. The Hope project provided food vouchers and food gifts worth £5,672. On top of that our church has donated £3,540 to national and local charities. This is a magnificent achievement.

Charity Commission Guidance

All Saints Church, Sapcote, is a registered charity and members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) are the trustees of the charity. The tabulated part of the financial report is structured to conform to Charity Commission Guidance. In the tables following this written report each fund is split into the different types required by Charity Commission Guidance. The categories are:

It is also a requirement that the bank accounts where the Funds are held should be shown.

General Fund.

This fund is used for most church activity. The end of year balance for the General Fund was down to £37,854 in 2024 from £43,412 in 2023 after transferring money into the Hall Fund (£973), the Fabric Fund (£175) and Messy Church (£200). Note that it is our policy to bring other funds with negative balances back to zero at the end of the year by transferring money into them from the general fund.

Our largest annual expenditure is the contribution to the diocese (£20,212 in 2024). The second largest expenditure was insurance for the church and the hall at £4,455. Fuel bills for the church building were third at £2,909.

page 6

Hall Fund.

The hall has its own investment account – the Hall CBF Investment Account - therefore in “Assets and Liabilities” the end of year total for the hall is set to at least the value of this account. The money in the account is made up of a £400 Endowment, a longstanding loan of £500, plus a remainder this year of £626. This went up by £34 in 2024 due to changes in market value. Additionally, dividend income from the account is put into the Hall Fund and is offset against expenditure.

Income from hall bookings was down from £2,225 to £1,866. Hall energy costs were down from £2,313 (2023) to £1,726 (2024).

A transfer of £973 was made from the general fund to the hall fund to bring the value back up to the value of the Hall CBF Investment Account.

Messy Church.

Messy Church continues to be very successful, important and also great fun. We celebrated the 10[th] anniversary of Messy Church at All Saints during 2024. Expenditure for Messy Church is predominantly food and materials for activities with a total expenditure of £313 and a giving income of £112. £200 was transferred into the fund to bring the account back to zero for the year end.

Bellringers’ Fund.

This is a restricted fund with a balance of £2,702. There has been some expenditure on repairs to ropes and guild subscriptions. Cash payments to bellringers for weddings are also shown in the annual accounts, however this money does not go through the bank.

Fabric Fund

The only expenditure from the fabric fund was the cost of the lightning conductor test at £175.

Children’s Work

This fund has been used to pay for expenses from Little Saints and children oriented events (e.g. the Easter Eggstravaganza and the Light Parade) and to buy books for children. Donations from attendees of Little Saints have been put into the Hall Fund. The fund ended the year at £176.

Hope

We have continued the superb Hope@... initiative, which is now in its fifth year. This has been carried out in partnership with St Helen’s, Sapcote Methodist Church and also the primary schools. This year £5,672 was spent on food and food vouchers. We received grants from Sapcote Parish Council (£500), Sharnford Parish Council (£1,000) and also very generous contributions from individuals. The Hinckley Area Foodbank continues to be a tremendous supporter, contributing £1,000. A Community Grant for £1,000 was obtained from the Blaby District Council. The end of year balance was £1,111 with plans for Hope@Easter well underway.

Organ Fund

The organ fund has not changed this year, remaining at £3,554 however £290 was spent on organ maintenance which came out of the general fund. The PCC has agreed that routine maintenance will be paid for from the “General Fund” whereas organ repairs or renovations can be paid for from the “Organ Fund” which is a restricted fund.

General statement

We have again been able to pay all of our bills, including insuring our buildings to 100% of their value, contribute to the diocese and to support a lot of charities in many ways. In my opinion we are very blessed and this is something we should be very thankful for. Our congregations have continued to be wonderfully energetic and generous.

Looking forward, it is clear that our outgoings are now exceeding our incomings by quite a lot. We do seriously need to find ways to increase our income in order to pay our increasing bills, to enable growth and to support the diocese. This is a challenge for us.

I would like to thank my wife, Di Harrold, for taking on the role of cashier during 2024. I would also like to again thank Christine Dixon who retired from the role of church cashier at the end of 2023 but has still provided support where she has been able. I would also like thank Christine Glover who handles all of the hall bookings – which is such a valuable resource for the church. There is also a small group of people who handle many things such as taking energy readings from the church building, making sure the heating comes on when needed, ensuring the grass around the hall is cut and taking care of maintenance matters as they arise. These all indirectly contribute to the finances of the church, so I’d like to thank those people too for their support.

I would also like to thank our Independent Examiner, Louvain Coxall.

All donations and regular payments to the church are treated in the strictest confidence by myself and by our cashier.

It is also very important to note that our work here would be impossible without the ongoing extremely generous regular contributions of our church members. This allows us to fulfil all of our financial commitments and further our Christian ministry – thank you!

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Act plus those found in the Church Guidance, 2006 edition , issued by the Finance Division of the Archbishops’ Council. That examination incudes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all that evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. I followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145 (5) b of the Act.
