**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, PETERBOROUGH** 

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

## **OUR PARISH VISION AND MISSION** 

The PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. St John’s and St Luke ’s are open and inclusive communities of faith, welcoming all and seeking to be living witnesses to God in Jesus Christ. This is expressed through our Ethos and Vision. 

- Our **aim** is to be a beacon of faith, hope and love in the heart of our city. 

- Our **mission** is to proclaim God’s love in Jesus Christ so that others will be drawn to follow him and find a place in our community. 

- The **values** that we espouse of being open and inclusive, worshipping and faithful, loving and serving, guide everything we do. 

In these we seek to live the mission of the church and draw others into its life and community. 

Everything we do falls under five key areas: 

- **Prayer and worship –** prayer and worship is the foundation of all we do 

- **Serving and caring** - being an active presence in the community 

- **Learning together** – nurturing faith, telling the story, providing a credible witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and enabling room for different understandings to exist alongside one another 

- **Justice** – where faith leads to action for the wellbeing of all people 

- **Stewardship** of the environment, promoting ecological concern and reducing the churches’ carbon footprint. 

These mirror the Five Marks of Mission of the Anglican Communion: 

- **Tell** – Good news of God in Jesus Christ, God’s Kingdom 

- **Teach** – Faith, Baptism and Confirmation, help all grow and deepen faith 

- **Tend** – Care and Love 

- **Transform** – Make a difference in the world for the wellbeing of all 

- **Treasure** – Creation, be good stewards of the earth and its resources. 

## **OUR VISION FOR THE WIDER USE OF ST JOHN’S** 

As the historical parish church for Peterborough, The Church of St John the Baptist was consecrated to witness to the presence of the living God in the heart of the city and amid human life, in all its variety and complexity, in its joys and in its sorrows.  In order to develop enhanced public benefit and make the most of its strategic location today, we aim to live the vision and mission through being: 

- a place of welcome for all offering hospitality and refreshment and as a Community Support Hub, meeting the needs of some of our most vulnerable residents

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)** 

- a concert and arts venue for the city – an inspiring space in which all that is good in human creativity and endeavour can be witnessed and celebrated, through the performing arts, public discourse, lecture and exhibition. 

- a place of tranquillity at the centre of the city where appropriate professional advice and counselling services can be offered and signposted. 

St Luke ’ s is our daughter church on Mayor ’ s Walk, built in 1901 as a Mission Room to serve the growing residential part of St John ’ s Parish to the west of the railway. Dedicated to St Luke in 1983 it had a focus in supporting the now demolished District Hospital and is now in the midst of a residential community and small commercial area. 

## **PREMISES**

All Saints Mar Thoma Church signed a 25-year lease to rent St John’s Hall in Mayor’s Walk as of July 2018 and as such is responsible for the maintenance of this premises. An annual inspection by the PCC of St John’s Hall was completed in December identifying some minor areas requiring improvement, which have been completed.

Kajsa Gemmell was appointed as Clerk to the APCM and subsequently, PCC Secretary. 

Michael Horspole attended some meetings as Independent Financial Adviser. The PCC met on 8 occasions in 2024 with an average attendance of 13 members. The number of members that could be elected to the PCC stands at 9 as the Electoral Roll numbers are below 100. The current Electoral Roll permits two representatives at Deanery Synod. 

## **Standing Committee** 

The Standing Committee of the PCC is a statutory committee with power to transact emergency business between meetings and other business as instructed by the Council.  The Standing Committee comprises the Vicar and Churchwardens together with the Treasurer, Parish Safeguarding Officer and Secretary, and this also serves as the Health and Safety Committee. 

## **Working Groups and Other Appointments** 

The PCC has appointed several working groups for different areas of interest in the life of the church and the parish. 

**The Social and Fundraising Committee** , consisting of the Vicar, the Curate, Judy Barsby, Lucy Georgiou, , Rosie Haynes, Margaret Lilliman, Di Sabel, Les Sabel and Sarah Warburton, provided and coordinated informal church events and activities including the Harvest and Patronal Festival lunches, the Beetle Drive and refreshments for special events.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)** 

**The Fabric Committee,** concerned with the care and maintenance of parish buildings, consisted of the Vicar, Churchwardens, Simon Crooke, Malcolm Hopkins, Jim Reynolds and Les Sabel. 

Our Churchwardens were Judy Barsby and Alun Williams, Vernon Bull upon retiring as Churchwarden, took on the role of Churchwarden Emeritus. Jim Reynolds was appointed Deputy Warden by the PCC in August 2024.  Alun Williams also acted as our Parish Safeguarding Officer overseeing Safeguarding policies and working practices. Stewardship Recording was carried out by Judy Barsby and Duncan Garfield, our Parish Administrator.  Payroll services were provided by the Diocese with oversight by the Treasurer.  June Bull was our Health and Safety Officer and June Swingler our Electoral Roll Officer. The PCC would like to thank everyone for their hard work and contribution throughout the year. 

The PCC appointed Reg Tomblin and Sara More as representatives on the executive of Churches Together in Central Peterborough (CTiCP).   In addition, the Vicar, Alun Williams and June Bull represented the PCC on the St John’s Development Board Community Interest Company which exists to develop the use of the church for appropriate artistic and cultural purposes. 

The PCC also established a Communications Team with the long-term aim of promoting and sharing information about our churches and their Mission – currently it has a role in reviewing and making recommendations on all aspects of our communications.  The Parish Administrator deals with church administration, financial processing and events booking and coordination and during the year became our ‘Lead Recruiter’ for DBS checking purposes. 

## **SAFEGUARDING** 

The PCC takes its responsibilities for the care of everyone in the church seriously.  It follows the Safeguarding Policies for the Diocese of Peterborough and everyone who works with children, young people and adults at risk is recruited following the Safer Recruiting procedures, including checks made with the Disclosure and Barring Service, where appropriate or by the use of Confidential Declaration Forms and references. A Safeguarding Team, comprising, Alun Williams (PSO), the Vicar, the Curate, Youth Worker, MES Intern and parish volunteers familiar with Safeguarding practices, meet regularly to review the Parish Safeguarding Action Plan and use the online Parish Safeguarding Dashboard to ensure we are compliant with Safeguarding policies and procedures. 

A Safeguarding Pack includes all the necessary Safeguarding documents appropriate for those volunteering at our churches and for our volunteer groups, including those volunteering at the Community Support Hub and Tuesdays ‘Till Two Café. The Safeguarding Policy is reviewed annually and any matters of concern are referred to the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor, in accordance with the Safeguarding Policy. Safeguarding is a standing item on the PCC Agenda.

**PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)** 

## **CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND WIDER COMMUNITY** 

The Electoral Roll as at May 2025 (2025 has seen a new Electoral Roll established according to the Church of England rules for full renewal every six years) stands at 97 members, with 23 resident within the parish and 74 non-resident. As the Electoral Roll stands, under the 2020 Church Representation Rules, 9 persons may be elected to serve on the PCC in addition to 2 Deanery Synod representatives. The Deanery Synod representatives were elected for a three-year term at the 2023 APCM until 2026. 

## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR** 

It has been another year of encouraging advances.  Attendances at Sunday Eucharist at St John’s continued to increase with a wonderful diversity of people, of all ages, nationalities, and experiences and a growing number of people taking a part as volunteers in church and parish life. Services include a cycle of regular morning and evening prayer, additional services at key times of the Church Year, and joint working with the Cathedral – e.g. hosting Cathedral Evening Prayer when the Cathedral is unable to do so, and for the purposes of enriching the liturgy e.g.-  a procession of the Liturgy of the Palms shared with the Cathedral complete with donkeys, and a new initiative this year – a City Nativity Play in December at the Guildhall followed by a Christingle Service in the Cathedral. Our monthly ‘Together’ Family Service – also part of joint working with the Cathedral -  and regular family events continue to attract young families. 

Our committed clergy team comprises of our Vicar, Revd Michelle, Curate, Revd Becka, and retired priest Canon Bill Croft. From October 2024, Revd Lex Bradley-Stow joined us as Growing Faith Chaplain, working jointly between the parish, the Cathedral and the King’s School to help us further develop our ministry with children, young people and families and to connect with the Church of England’s Growing Faith Foundation in working across the three spheres of church, school and home. We are also blessed to have Archdeacon Alison Booker and Canon Helen Dearnley, who both live within the parish and assist with occasional services. St Luke’s is home to a small but growing, dedicated and faithful congregation at its Sunday Eucharist. The service of Healing and Wholeness is held there each month and the weekly drop in Chill and Chat meetings on Wednesdays followed by a short service of Midday Prayer. In the course of the year, Chris Royle, from St Luke’s congregation, was selected for training as a Distinctive Deacon and began her ministerial training, with her placement being at St Luke’s. 

One of our key objectives established in 2022 was the growth of our church, numerically, spiritually and pastorally in all aspects of our relationship with the city centre and its resident population and visitors.  This has continued to happen throughout 2024 as we have worked in partnership with the City Council in our role as the Civic Church, in collaboration with our Deanery and with other City Centre churches and faith groups. We continue to actively seek ways to work with community groups and agencies to serve the people of our City and to be open at both our churches as places of prayer and sanctuary, friendship and hospitality.

**THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST, PETERBOROUGH** 

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)** 

At both St John’s and St Luke’s there has been the introduction of a Prayer Space with a focus on peace and prayer cards available – at St John’s throughout the year this has focused also on the situation in Ukraine, and the conflict in the Middle East.  Many people light candles and pray and make use of the prayer cards and leaflets offering a simple form of Morning and Night Prayer to use at home. There have also been prayer trails and an additional prayer focus in Lent, Advent, and for Thy Kingdom Come with an invitation to pray for the streets of our parish. We have continued to support the ministry of the Street Chaplains from the Light Project Peterborough, providing a base from which they go out into the City on Fridays. Many activities for families are held in school holidays – in the summer these link with the Summer Exhibition at the Cathedral – in 2024 this was focused on Monsters of the Sea.  Our Youth ministry has continued to grow through the work of our trainee Youth Worker, Honour Smith, who is based with us for her placement alongside her studies at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. From September we were also joined by LivAstrid Cowne Gemmell, one of the Deanery Youth Interns on the Diocesan Ministry Experience Scheme – a year long experience of parish ministry with a focus on youth work. Together, Liv and Honour have established a weekly Youth Group – City Alight Youth with a range of activities which is attracting young people from 8+. 

We have welcomed many families for baptisms, and there were two weddings in 2024, as well as a number of funerals both held at St John’s and also led by our Parish Clergy at Peterborough Crematorium. 

Another glorious Flower Festival was held in the year – this time at the end of September over the Feast of Michaelmas. The theme was ‘Rainbows of Hope’ with flowers arranged in the colours of the rainbow around the whole of the church. Once again a whole host of arrangers, schools, musicians, welcomers and refreshment providers came together to put on an amazing event which brought in a great crowd to enjoy the displays and entertainments. Our Flower Team – Lai Julian, Margaret Lilliman, Jackie Prime, and Di & Les Sabel are to be congratulated and our grateful thanks to all those who took part. 

The Community Support Hub based at St John’s continued throughout 2024 and supports over a hundred people of all ages and situations who come to enjoy hot food and social and economic advice, health support and opportunities to engage with other support services from across Peterborough, working in partnership with the Light Project Peterborough and the Rough Sleeper Outreach Team from the Council to support those who are on the streets.  This work is utterly dependent on our fantastic team of Hub Volunteers, led by Malikia Brewster and supported by Malcolm Hopkins. (Early in the new year 2025, Malcolm has been appointed as Head Verger at the Cathedral – many congratulations to him.) 

Our choir at St John’s has grown significantly under the leadership of our superb Director of Music, Jeremy Jepson, who joined us early in 2024. A Junior Choir was initiated on Mothering Sunday 2024 and continues to attract new members from 7 years and up. In addition to singing every Sunday at the main service, there have been a number of special services – such as Choral Evensong for our Patronal Festival in June 2024. We have continued to welcome the Cathedral Junior Choir who joined us once again for Mothering Sunday, for our Patronal Festival in June and Harvest Festival in October.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)** 

Our Civic Carol Service in December was an especial high point as was our CIC Christmas Concert, at which our adult and Junior Choir, joined by the Cathedral Junior Choir, sang with the City of Peterborough Concert Band and had the audience singing and dancing in their pews. 

At St Luke’s we are blessed to have Helen Bates to play for the Sunday Service once a month, and to have the support of Malcolm Hopkins in setting up for services. Our worship involves all members of the congregation in reading, serving and leading intercessions. We were overjoyed to hold our first baptism for many years at St Luke’s when Sebastian Georgiou was baptized at the end of June 2024. We now also have a Children’s Corner at St Luke’s with toys and activities for families too. 

Our financial situation once again improved during the year. We are very grateful to our Treasurer Vernon Bull and Administrator, Duncan Garfield, supported by Rosie Haynes and Michael Horspole. Assisted by the support of the Finance Committee, some of our investments were moved into more ethical funds, in conjunction with our efforts to be ‘greener’. Although we are still dependent on our reserves, Stewardship giving continued to increase and we were able to meet all its financial obligations in 2024 and the Parish Share was paid in full. 

Both churches remain in good structural order. The repaired stained glass window in the South Porch was installed with a new protective metal grill on the outside and perspex on the inner side. The void discovered under the north aisle floor at St John’s is still awaiting repair and the staining on the ceiling of St Luke’s is being monitored. A Quinquennial Inspection was carried out at St John’s in 2024 and a report presented in September. A schedule of works for the urgent repairs will be produced by our Architect, Stephen Oliver. 

## **St John’s Community Interest Company (CIC):** 

St John’s CIC events continued in 2024 with the series of regular Tuesday lunchtime concerts from ‘Tuesdays ‘Til Two’ and ‘Piccolo’, a monthly concert for preschool children and their carers on the first Thursday of most months. As mentioned above, a very successful Christmas evening concert also took place. Altogether the CIC organised and ran 42 concerts during 2024. These initiatives contribute to an increased footfall by keeping St John’s open, as well as raising the church’s profile at the heart of the city centre. Our thanks to Alun Williams who works hard to generate and host these events as the CIC’s programme manager. The CIC’s activities generated over £2745 in church hire fees for St John’s, and donations at the Christmas concert supported church funds. 

On Saturdays, regular church volunteers staff the popular morning café at St John’s, supported by many volunteers and on Wednesdays, students of Marshfields School in the first part of the year, and then from the autumn, students from City College Peterborough, ran a weekly Café which continues to grow in numbers attending. Wendy Dyer continued to offer a wonderful array of knitted clothes, toys, handmade jewellery and other items along with souvenirs from the welcome counter and Malikia Brewster maintained the  ‘Book Nook’ book stall which regularly features special interest books and other relevant items. Margaret Lilliman and Helen Bates hosted Chill and Chat on Wednesday mornings at St Luke ’s, concluded by a simple service. The Ladies Group meet each month for a talk or activity and refreshments.

## **PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCILS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 (continued)** 

The Pastoral Team continued to work together to offer pastoral care across the whole church family, to take communion at home to those unable to attend Sunday services and to support monthly services of communion in The Maltings and St Margaret’s House care homes. The Mission Team meets to consider areas to develop – in 2024 the focus was on our efforts to become an Eco-Church and we were delighted to be awarded a Bronze Award through the A Rocher EcoChurch scheme .  We continue to support the Welcome Directory, providing help for prison leavers as they rejoin society. The congregation is well represented on the rota of servers, readers, intercessors, Eucharistic assistants, Sunday Wardens and sides-people.  Fresh flowers were arranged in both churches each week by the Flower Team led by Lai Julian, Di Sabel and Jackie Prime. 

Peterborough Art Society held two exhibitions at St John’s and we were again open for the nationally run Heritage Open Days in September. We work closely with the Business Improvement District, Peterborough Positive, to improve the draw for residents and visitors to the city centre and also with the City Council in promoting Peterborough as a place of heritage and culture. 

The worship at both churches has traditionally been based on Common Worship, with robed servers and choir complemented by the singing of a responsorial psalm and anthems during the Eucharist at St John’s.  At St Luke’s, CDs provided the accompaniment for hymn singing with Helen Bates accompanying the service on keyboard once a month. Sunday services normally conclude with refreshments at both churches. These provide occasions for enjoyment and fellowship to complete our worship. 

Our dedicated team of Bellringers ring at St John’s most Sundays calling us to worship and in the course of the year have rung several peals and supported ringing at the Cathedral and elsewhere in the Deanery. 

Important links continue to be grown with the two schools in the parish- West Town Primary Academy and The Peterborough School and with the Day Nursery. Thomas Deacon Academy hold their Acts of Kindness Award ceremony at St John’s and we have links with the King’s (Cathedral) School too. A growing connection has been with St Augustine’s Church of England (VC) Junior School in Woodston, who, since their neighbouring church St Augustine’s closed, have been coming to St John’s for their termly services. Our Vicar and Director of Music are also now visiting the school to assist with Collective Worship once a term.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST PAROCHIAL CHURCH** 

## **Roles and Responsibilities of the Council** 

The Council is required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of its state of affairs at the end of the year and of its income and expenditure for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements the council is required to: 

- i) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- ii) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- iii) Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the church will continue as such. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church.  The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud.

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

## **1.3 Income** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the PCC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All income is accounted for gross, as long as it is capable of financial measurement. 

## **1.4 Resources expended** 

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for mission are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is occurred and accounted for gross. 

## **1.5 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks. 

## **1.6 Financial Instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provision of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to a contractual provision of the instrument.

## **NOTES FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **1.7 Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with section 10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011. 

Moveable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for PCC and which Require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church's inventory, which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). 

For anything acquired before 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore, such assets are not valued in the financial statements. Subsequently no individual item has cost more than £1,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. 

No cost information is available for the church hall so it is included at a deemed cost being its 2012 valuation. 

The property is not depreciated due to the high value placed on the building, the longevity of its existence, which in turn suggest the longevity of its future existence. Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over four to five years. 

## **1.8 Funds** 

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the PCC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where this is no separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

Designated funds are funds set aside by the PCC for a specific purpose. 

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for PCC ordinary purposes. 

Endowment funds are funds held for the long term investment. 

## **1.9 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
