## ANNUAL REPORT ## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 ## APCM Report for Ministry in 2022: ## Rector's Report ## St Faith’s The most significant change in the life of the parish of Brentford this year, has been the temporary closure of St Faith’s and the merging of both congregations at St Paul's, We had our final service on 16 January 2022, officiated by the Bishop of Kensington, and have been worshipping together since then. St Faith’s is still being used for weddings and funerals. Despite some bumps in the road, and inevitable teething issues the clergy and PCC still feel that this was the right decision, and God's will for our Parish. We are in a period of growth and consolidation and are praying about the next stage; still very much expecting and planning to plant back into St Faith's. ## Services & Worship In 2021 we had 139 subscribers to our YouTube channel, in March 2022 we had 180 subscribers, and as of February 2023 we have 220 subscribers. We have between 60 - 100 views of each service, with between 20 - 30 people watching live. We've taken 16 funerals, 4 weddings, and 4 baptisms in 2022. We've had a guest speaker from Tearfund in our sermon series on creation. Our sermon series have covered the following themes: What it means to be church, Soul Training (Lent), Creation Care, Identity (Ephesians), Joseph, Hearing God's Voice, and Advent. We've celebrated Mothering Sunday, marked Lent, celebrated through Holy Week and Easter, Pentecost, Harvest, Remembrance, Hosted Lodge Brothers Christmas Remembrance service, and held several well attended Christmas services. Chris planned and led us in engaging with the Living in Love and Faith material from the Church of England, providing in person and online courses. 2 ## Prayer ; We've held monthly prayer meetings at St Faith's from January to July and a half Night of online prayer on 15% September and 13'* October. We have a very active Parish WhatsApp group that is often in touch daily with prayer requests. We pray and have intercessions in all our weekly services. ## Staffing Tipi finished her Youth apprenticeship in September 2022, with a graduation ceremony on the 6“ September. She's had a significant ministry and is much loved by our youth and children. Youth was covered by Sarah and Chris and a dedicated group of youth leaders during the Autumn term. We recruited a Senior Youth and Children’s Pastor in November 2022, who started in January 2023. This year our curate Chris was priested (25° June) and Sarah was licensed as Rector on Monday 18" July. Schools We've delivered collective worship weekly for St Paul's Primary school, thanks to our team including Leslie Pringle, who is also now the Chair of Governors. I've been involved in various workshops and proposed a new strapline for St Paul's school: ‘rooted and growing in God’, to provide a biblical foundation to their Christian Ethos. I've done a candle lighting workshop for year 4, and we've hosted schools visits from Green Dragon Primary School. Sarah continues to be a Governor at St Paul's, Chair of Governors at Ealing Fields Secondary school, and a Director in the Twyford trust. ## Community Engagement - e Spire Café continues to offer us a wonderful platform for parish ministry, and we are hugely grateful to Jo who runs this superbly. - « We've hosted the Eco Fair on 8'? October 2022 and an Eco Themed Harvest Service on Sunday 9"" October. - Well attended Experience Easter (27? April) and Experience Christmas (17% December) events aimed at Primary aged children and their families with crafts, drama, singing, and jots more. - e Chris and Andy Ward has hosted Safer Neighbourhood Meetings at St Paul’s, - e Sarah and Jo Cheung launched the Menopause Café with events on 7 July and 17 November. The event in November was attended by the Bishop of London, as part of a panel of guests talking about the Menopause and work. These are gaining in popularity, and we hosted 50 women in the November event. - « Chris attended Hounslow Assembly on Nov 30%, networking with local Hounslow partnerships. 3 - e Eco Church now have a large team and we have been awarded the Bronze level. They hosted a significant Eco Fair in October, community engagement events in the Eco garden and have been successful in being awarded a grant for insulation and double glazing for the St Faith's church hall. ## Children & Youth Kids Café remains very popular for pre-schoolers and their carers. Matthew stepped in to lead this when Tipi left, and we have a consistent attendance of about 30-35 children and their carers. There is potential to make this more invitational and missional, but many people have attended Christmas services as a result of being regulars at Kids Café and through their contact with Jo at Spire Café. Sarah is also on the steering Group for the London Diocese Capital Vision Youth Team. Some highlights of our youth & Children's engagement include: - e« Sarah rana youth version of Live Well in the Spring Term. « We hosted a Kensington Area Youth event on 29" January 2022. e Bishop Graham came to a hot seat night in the summer term and played rounders with us. - ® Tipi took our youth on the Kensington Area Weekend away from 6th — 8" May. - e Our youth hosted a Clothes swap for Eco Church on 9" July. * Sara, Macy and Sarah took our youth to Satellites Camp from 9* —13" August and had a reaily great time with our youth. - e Chris planned and led confirmation preparation classes in the Autumn of 2022. (7 of our youth were confirmed in January 15" 2023 by Bishop Ric Thorpe) and one of ther was baptised. - * Tipi worked with another youth leader from Bless Church to host ‘Table Talk’ at Ealing Fields school on Thursdays. - We hosted our usual summer BBQ at The Rectory, Fireworks and the Annual Church sleepover, all of which were hugely enjoyable. ## Mission and Evangelism - e Alpha: We hosted 2 Alpha courses in person e Three30-This was stopped at half term of the Autumn Term as we didn't have a youth leader at this point. - e Mission Partners: We continue to maintain good links with Heather Johnstone our CMS Missionary in Tanzania. - e Eco Church has taken off. We hosted a Green Fair in October 2022 which was very successful. Huge thanks to the Eco team for the work being done. - e Confirmation prep for 4 adults who were confirmed in Jan 15" 2023. 4 ## Thanks 1am deeply appreciative to those who work tirelessly for the Parish, whether they are paid or volunteers. My thanks to our Church wardens, LLM's and PCC who are supportive and wise, our dedicated staff team who work hard and many of our volunteers, who spend considerable time invested in the life and ministry of the Church. | feel excited by what God is doing amongst us and in our wider community.

avi Curate’s Report
**----- End of picture text -----**
## Training and Development Having joined the parish in July 2021 as Assistant Curate a significant priority is my ongoing training and development. | attend regular training provided by London Diocese and Kensington Area and have weekly supervision meetings with Sarah in her role as training incumbent. | also produce regular reflections on my work against the training objectives agreed with the area team. | successfully completed my Deacon’s year, and was Priested on 25" June 2022. | would like to express my thanks to the Parish for its support during my training, and particulalry to Sarah for the time and thought she puts into my training and development. ## Ministry Throughout 2022 | have met with individuals in their home and elsewhere in order to provide pastoral support. This has included visiting individuals in homes and hospitals. | have also led 8 Funerals, 2 Baptisms and 2 Weddings during this period. In March 2022 | led a Living in Love and Faith day engaging with the Church of England's material around relationships, followed by 4 sessions in April going into detail on particular issues that arose from the day. | supported the 2 Alpha courses that occurred this year. We had a ‘share a lunch’ Sunday which led to a Lunch with various members of our community together at a home. ## Community Engagement In 2022 | focused on building partnerships that would enable us to work with others engaging with the community in Brentford. | worked with Hounslow Community Solutions Team and Crosslight Debt Advice to agree to host regular drop in sessions in Spire Café; these started in January 2023. We were also supported by Hounslow Council to operate as a Warm Space in Autumn 2022 until Easter 2023. It has been hard to judge the impact of 6 this engagement, as we already have a significant number of people visiting the church to visit Spire Café. The support to heat the building for our visitors and guests has been appreciated. | also attended Hounslow Community Assembly which led to further productive discussions and opportunities to engage. For example it led to a visit from the Hounslow Early Years Team to Kids Café. We are continuing to look for opportunities to work in partnership to provide access to services and support that would benefit our community. l also reguarly attend with Andy Ward at Brentford Safer Neighbourhood Ward Panel. ## Youth and Children | greatly enjoy working with our children and young people. A highlight for me this year was preparing our young people for confirmation in Autumn 2022, I've also enjoyed leading collective worship at St Paul’s Primary School. ## Thanks ]am so thankful for the support that my family and | have received as we have made our home in Brentford. | am keenly aware of the many people it takes to make the life of our parish work, and | am so appreciative of the time, effort and expertise they give.

## St Faith’s Churchwardens’ Report Since the beginning of 2022, St Faith's congregation have been worshipping at St Paul’s. Although it has been quite a change for many of us, we are slowly getting used to meeting in a different building and with a whole group of new people. We have had a few meetings with Sarah to discuss how things are going, and there have been some concerns raised about different styles of worship and the different ways of doing things at the two churches. People also want to know when we might be able to go back to St Faith’s and what it might be like when we do. As a consequence, we have committed to praying once a month for a new vision and for God to reveal his plans for St Faith's and for things to move forward with a new vision so we can look at potentially getting a new vicar. Hopefully we will see some progress over the course of this upcoming year and that people will settle more into being in a new place. Regarding the church building, Joel has continued to sort out the lighting and now the church is so much brighter than before with the new LED lights — so thank you Joel! The building is being used less by Hestia but is still used for weddings and funerals and has been hired out to St Faith's Players for a meeting and rehearsal space. There have been discussions around using the space as a performance venue for the Players, which will bring in some more useful income. Furthermore, the hall is about to benefit from a grant from the Hounslow Community Energy Fund which will see new windows and better insulation, so that will make a big difference, hopefully to reduce our energy costs and carbon footprint. Unfortunately, this year also saw the death of Michael Ryan and Ruth’s daughter, Mandy. Otherwise, please see the report for St Paul's for any other information Penny Vincent ## Matthew Newton Churchwardens 14 **----- Start of picture text -----**

## St Paul’s Churchwardens’ Report ## FABRIC After significant renovations of St Paul’s church buildings in recent years, it was great to start the year with minimum Covid restrictions and everything looking great ready to welcome the community back to a new year with a ‘new normal’. Throughout the year, plans have been discussed regarding removing the pews for a more flexible worship space and changing the partitions between the Narthex and Sanctuary to new glass panels that would be less cumbersome and safer. We want to care for our beautiful building and want it to serve us well as we grow as a community. A new Eco Church team started in January 2022 and, within their vision to encourage the church to be more sustainable, they are looking at how we use both our land and buildings to save energy and reduce our impact on the environment. Within the building, a commitment to recycling and reducing energy uses, for example low energy LED lights, is underway and there are plans to create an Eco Garden at the back of St Paul's church. ## CHURCH COMMUNITY As we started the new year, it was encouraging to see the congregation building up again, though Covid was still taking people out for weeks at a time. We continued to live stream our services which has allowed many benefits: - e People can participate from further afield, even different nations e People can watch from home if unwell e People can catch up with a sermon that they missed whilst running Sunday School - e People can ‘check us out’ before coming to a service in person We have also continued giving communion through intinction, dipping 15 ; the bread into the wine, and everyone seems comfortable with this. From 23rd January 2022, members of St Faith’s and St Paul's have been worshipping together as one congregation each week at St Paul’s church; this was a decision prayerfully made by the Clergy, Churchwardens and PCC. We are focussing on growing as one church and are planning to plant a new church back into the building at St Faith’s over the coming years. Without the Covid restrictions of previous years, we were able to host some big events: Family celebrations such as the joyous Passover Supper; when we moved the pews out of the sanctuary allowing us to sit at long tables, Joel's parents kindly led us through the service, and the evening culminated in music and dance. Outreach events both Experience Easter and Experience Christmas welcomed many families into the church for a carousel of activities organised with help from the Sunday School team and the wonderful hospitality of Spire Cafe. Eco Church activities gained momentum throughout the year, with the Clothes Repair Cafe starting monthly sessions and volunteers helping to create a home for nature in the newly named Eco Garden, The team applied to the Thriving Communities Fund for a grant to help us expand these projects and received notification of our success in December 2022. The Eco Church team planned and delivered the first Brentford Green Fair which welcomed around 200 guests, led the Harvest Service in September and organised a Bats and Pumpkins event in October for around 35 participants. The Christmas Eve All Age Service was a wonderful way to welcome the wider community towards the end of the year with the church filled, mainly with visitors, as we were reminded of God’s plan to rescue Us. There were many more events and activities organised by the various ministries of the church, other areas of church life are covered in individual reports, in all, we have seen that, as we are deliberate in planning for guests, to 16 unashamedly point them to Jesus, they have come and we continue to grow as a church.

## Report to the PCC ## Structure, Governance and Management The Parish of Brentford was established as a Parish of The Church of England and comprises of two churches, St. Paul’s and St. Faith's. ## Appointment and induction of PCC members Members of the PCC are either ex-officio, co-opted or elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. New PCC members are made aware of their legal obligations under charity and church law, the content of the constitution, the Council and the decision-making processes and the recent performance of the church. They meet the other PCC members as well as key employees over the course of the year. Standing Committee This is the only committee required by law, In the past year it/its Finance SubCommittee met twice. ## Organisational Policy The PCC works according to the Church of England Canon Law. The PCC and Standing Committee hold responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the churches including finance and employment matters. ## Risk Assessment Policy From the Standing Committee meetings appropriate recommendations for mitigating identified risks are made to the PCC members. ## Objectives and activities The Parish of Brentford’s PCC is required, as stated in the PCC (Powers) Measure 1956 to actively promote in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church — pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical; towards this end, a new Eco Church team started in January 2022 while our Spire Café was patronised by more and more members of the wider community. In planning such activities, the incumbent and PCC have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. ## Reserves Policy It is the desire of the PCC to maintain 2 months’ worth of running costs (including staff salaries) in cash reserves in case of major problems. The PCC have not put any money in reserves in recent years due to the ongoing financial deficit, 18 however there is a trust fund of significant value which can be drawn on for building emergencies and repairs. ## Achievements, performance and future plans The electoral roll as at the 31* December 2022 was 106. In pursuit of the Parish Vision ie. as the people of St Paul’s and St Faith's to seek to follow Jesus and build community where everyone's welcome, everyone matters and everyone’s involved, the Eco Church team started monthly sessions of the Clothes Repair Café and hosted in September the first Brentford Green Fair which attracted over 200 members of the local community into our building. This report and attached accounts were approved by the PCC on 25 April 2023 Signed on their behalf by Revd Sarah Guinness, Chairperson of PCC **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Financial Review 2022 This is my second report as Treasurer of the Parish of Brentford having taken on the role in January 2022. The past year has provided an opportunity to see the full cycle of financial activities for the parish and develop a better understanding of our position and the challenges and opportunities ahead. In my last annual report, | highlighted that the 2022 budget had a planned expenditure of £295,095 and income of £244,350 resulting in an expected deficit of £50,745. To address this deficit, we committed to a plan to balance the budget over 3 years through an increased focus on optimising our income and controlling our increases in expenditure (the option of cutting our operating costs to balance the budget was not considered to be realistic or achievable). You do not need me to tell you that we live in abnormal economic circumstances with significant inflationary pressures and utility costs going up by multiples. Despite these headwinds, we have made good progress in reducing our deficit. The 2022 accounts have a deficit of £6,378 however this includes a grant of £25,487 from the Brentford Parish Trust to help meet our agreed Common Fund contribution and pay for some maintenance activities. Our ambition is to get to a point where we can meet our Common Fund contribution and cover all routine maintenance costs through our income and not having to rely on grants from the diminishing Brentford Parish Trust. ## Looking Back at 2022 Our overall income for 2022 is significantly less than 2021 but that is due to the 2021 income being artificially inflated by grants from the Brentford Parish Trust to pay for refurbishment activities at St Paul’s. Over the last year, Giving has increased to £107,968 (an increase of 18.0%) and Lettings has increased to £129,928 {an increase of 34.7%). These increases are a testimony to the generosity of our parishioners and the hard work of those that support lettings activities. Similar to income, our overall expenditure for 2022 is significantly less than 2021 due to the completion of the refurbishment activities (in 2021, we spent £143,879 on refurbishment activities but only £13 in 2022). it is worth noting that the PCC voted to maintain our Common Fund contribution at the same level as 2021 and chose not to increase it in line with the Diocese recommendations. This was in part a contribution to reducitg our deficit and minimising the drain on the Brentford Parish Trust. The table overleaf provides a summary of the parishes finances for 2022 and also includes the 2021 numbers for comparison purposes. 22 **----- Start of picture text -----**

23 ## Looking Forward to 2023 The 2023 budget has a planned expenditure of £304,863 and income of £285,900 resulting in an expected deficit of £18,963. If we continue to commit to our plan to reduce the budget deficit, then we can expect this to reduce further over the course of this year. Again, this needs a commitment to grow our income faster than our expenditure increases. The key challenges facing us in achieving this deficit reduction are continued inflationary pressures (although prudent estimates for cost increases are factored into the budget), having to fix our gas contract for St Paul's later this year and not getting locked into a significantly higher tariff than we are currently paying, and unplanned maintenance costs, Maintenance costs are a particular concern and fall beyond the remit of Treasurer. Asa parish, we have significant properties to maintain (two churches, a rectory and a rental property). Whilst the budget does contain an allowance for maintenance activities; this is not linked to a planned programme of maintenance activities and is an allowance only. | believe we need to develop a planned maintenance programme for all parish properties. This programme needs to be forward looking and anticipate maintenance activities over the longer term. We will not balance our budget on a sustained basis until we have a robust understanding of our maintenance costs in the years ahead. ## The Parish of Brentford Trust The parish benefits from a trust, the Parish of Brentford Trust (Fund 1). This trust is administered by separate trustees from the PCC. Funds in the trust do not form part of the parish’s finances but with the support of the trustees have generally been used to fund major refurbishments and provide some income to the parish. In recent years, grants from the trust have also been used to make good the gap between our annual operating costs and our generated income. In January 2018, The Parish of Brentford Trust had a value of £801,274; at the end of 2022, there was £522,006 remaining. The replacement of the partitions in St Paul's will reduce this further (as would any boiler repairs). The parish should not rely on the Parish of Brentford Trust to fund its annual operating costs; it needs to manage its existing expenditure and grow income to eliminate the current deficit. We are on that journey but not there yet. lain Knight Honorary Treasurer 24 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PARISH OF BRENTFORD ST FAITH’S AND ST PAUL'S | report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position and the related notes. ## Respective responsibilities of Parochial Church Council and examiner The Parochial Church Council are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.

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 the seeking of 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 Sincelisted the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a memberof a body in section 145 of the 2011 Act. | confirm that | am qualified to undertake the examination because | a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable charity law.
The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008 only to the extent
required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of
Recommended Practice for Charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of
Recommended Practice which is referred to in the regulations but has since been withdrawn,
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the
valuation of the investment assets which are shown at market value.
The accounts are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts
in these financial statement are rounded to the nearest whole pound.
12 Golng concern
At the time of approving the accounts the Parochial Church Council (PCG) have a reasonable expectation
that the charity has adequate resourcas to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future, Thus the PCC continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing
the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Endowment funds:-
Are funds, the capital of which must be maintained; only income arising from investment of the endowment
may be used either as restricted or unrestricted funds depending upon the purpose for which the endowment
was established.

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 there is no separate

Grants and legacies are recognised when there is sufficient certainty that they will be received and the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. Job retention scheme grants are recognised in the period to which the underlying furlough staff costs relate to. Dividends and interest are accounted for whan received. All other income is recognised when receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 1.5 Resources expended Granis and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC.

All other expenditure is generally recognised when itis incurred and is accounted for gross. 4.6 Creditors and provisions for liabilities and charges A liabliity is recognised for the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay fo settle a debt or the amount it has received as an advance payment for goods or services It must provide. A provision is recognised when: : there is a present obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event; ; itis probable that a transfer of econamic benefit, usually in the farm of cash, will be required in settlement, and * the amount of the setilement can be estimated reliably. 1.7 Fixed assets For use by the PCC In so far as consecrated and benefice property of any kind is excluded from the statutory definition of “charity” by Section 10(2) (a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011 such assets are not capitalised in the financial statements.

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.

The managing trustees may from time to time at their absolute discretion, permit (at a meeting of the trustees), the release of part of the capital of the first fund to be transferred to the second fund (CT1001A)}. The second fund is to be used for general ecclesiastical purposes and as such, the transfer from the first fund can be used for meeting the parish's annual common fund commitment, if necessary and in response to a formal request from the PCC. The second fund, both capital and income, is avallable for expenditure at the discretion of the PCC although the funds are managed by the trustees. The trustees praduce separate accounts for trust fund one and figures relating to it are NOT included in these accounts. - 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the PCC are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

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 periad of the revision and future periods where the ravision affects both current and future periads. ## 3 Income from Donations and Legacies **----- Start of picture text -----**
