The Community

community friendships to develop and creative prayer gatherings and informal worship times and group bible studies to occur.

Notable special times the community have enjoyed together have included praying for one another and beautiful times of worship and celebrating together like at the “Thanksfest”- our Thanksgiving and Harvest annual meal. The Christian festivals have a special place in the community. Near Easter we held a Passover Meal, in which we enjoyed learning about the Jewish Passover and how this rich heritage relates to our faith. We also held a Easter Meal followed by Easter Egg hunt for the younger members of the community.

At Christmas in addition to our own celebration we worked in partnership with one of the local Parish Church and helped them put on a Christmas Carol service for the wider community. Our whole community were involved in readings and providing musicians and we were able to get additional lighting and resources to support the event.

Prayer

There has been a timetable running during the week where individuals from the community take a turn at praying and worshipping in the chapel. In addition, there have been regular Thursday night prayer sessions to which non-community members have attended regularly. These have in addition to praying for the local area addressed wider concerns including praying for an end to human trafficking and exploitation.

The Open, our community led monthly gathering for worship and prayer continues to be very successful. This is advertised on our website and social media as well as by word of mouth. Each time is different with many new faces, if everyone came at the same time we certainly would not all fit in!

We were also pleased to welcome Mother Zelma from the Community of the Resurrection of Our Lord in South Africa to St Peter’s Bourne. We were pleased to be able to host a celebration for her and supporters of the Community.

Social Action

The leadership team continued building contacts and developing the vision for providing places for prison leavers to have the support of a community and receive Christian education. A prison leaver who lived at St Peters Bourne after his home situation proved difficult successfully took part with our community rhythms and was able to continue his work. The support he received was significant and working with outside charities we were also able to ensure his wife received support and after several months their circumstances were stable enough to allow him to move home again. The problems that led him to move to us 6 months later have not resurfaced.

We interviewed and started the process of due diligence to enable another prison leaver to join the community. However, the processes we had put in place highlighted some issues and whilst these were being explored his personal circumstances changed meaning that he would no longer be a suitable to join the community. The team spent time pursuing a funding bid from Just So to enable us to grow the social action stream.

Retreat House

The use of St Peter’s Bourne for retreat is back to pre-covid level. In September 2022 we reviewed the booking process and changed the pricing structure to bring SPB in line with similar venues and now include the community in hosting visiting groups. Some groups have not returned post-covid but we seem to have multiple bookings fram new connections.

Leadership and administration
The resident staff members, lvan and Jessie Chakraborty, lead the community. However, Jessie went
on maternity leave in February 2022 until September 2022. During this time a community member,
Lydia di Castiglione provided maternity cover with Ivan and David Vincent who as a director offered
additional time to support the leadership team in a pastoral role. The Board are very thankful for the
pastoral support and input provided by Lydia during the maternity leave. After her maternity leave
Jessie picked up the pioneering activities again and her former community leadership
responsibilities. lvan continued to oversee larger maintenance projects. Jessie and Ivan have
announced their intention to leave in the Summer of 2023. The Directors have undertaken a
reflection and review of the staffing needs and roles needed to develop St Peter’s Bourne for its next
stage and will be recruiting for that over the summer.

Window replacements

The Directors conducted an audit of their skills and expertise and from that were able to identify the priorities needed at board level and are actively looking for new directors to volunteer with those skills.

Processes to enable the easier reporting of financial details to the board were put in place and

thanks is made to Sue Chapman our part-time administrator for her help in developing timely reports for the board.

To reflect the renewed booking process and the changes to the community rhythms of prayer and activity the web-site was updated.

Volunteers

SPBMC has benefitted from substantial time volunteered by the seven trustees in office during the year, and by the members of the Community. A local family have regularly supported St Peter’s Bourne with their musical talents during worship events and have also led several sessions themselves in the Chapel which has contributed to the development of SPB as a House of Prayer. SPB have also benefited from volunteer technical support for our Open nights and larger events.

Management of SPBMC

SPBMC is a company limited by guarantee, which means it does not have conventional shareholders but members, who are:

SPBMC is managed by the trustees, who during the year and since the year end have been:

The Rt Revd Rob Wickham (chair till July 2023)

The Rt Revd Rob WickhamWickham (chair till July 2023)
David Vincent (vice-chair)
David Lane (company secretary till September 2022)
TheRevdHelenAzar

The Revd John Coles

The trustees met five times during the year, and between meetings, SPBMC’s executive committee of trustees and the various leads met regularly. Ivan and Jessie Chakraborty as employees, are not permitted to be trustees but are invited to attend the trustees’ meetings, as does Brian Wakeham as a representative of the Trust.

Financial Review

Overall results

As a result, primarily of the increase of income due to the new community growing and filling all the rooms this year’s accounts showa profit of £13,067 (2022: a loss of £320).

Movements in income

Total income was £89,320 (2022: £71,893). There was an increase in the rent from flats to £42,000 (2022: £28,844) and income from rooms within the main house increased this year to £41,715 (2022: £35,917). There was also a slight increase in the income from the hire of the premises to £3,629 (2022: £2,867).

Movements in expenditure

Expenditure increased this year to £76,253 (2022: £72,159). The main changes in expenditure this year were staff costs which increased to £35,404 (2022: £31,753) and Maintenance and small equipment which increased to £12,040 (2022: £6,621). These may have also been due to a change in nominal codes during the year, which could have led to a different apportionment of costs. These increases were offset in the reduction of utilities to £9,757 (2022: £12,189).

Reserves at the year-end

The net profit for the year of £13,067 has increased our funds carried forward to £27,767, all unrestricted.

These funds are sufficient to cover 3.7 months of this year’s expenditure. The change in the Community has helped build up our reserves this year, however the reserves are still short of the trustees’ objective of having sufficient unrestricted reserves to meet six months of unrestricted expenditure to cope with variations in cash flow and to provide protection against unforeseen costs. The building up of reserves remains an objective of the trustees.

Small company exemption statement and approval of report In preparing this report, the trustees have taken advantage of the small companies’ exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

This report was approved by the trustees on 21% September 2023 and signed on their behalf by

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St Peter’s Bourne Management Company

| report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 30" April 2023 which are set out on pages 10 to 16.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees 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.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an 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 matter has come to my attention:
