## **PARISH CHURCH OF ST AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY THORPE BAY** Registered charity number 1128847 ## **Annual Report and Financial Statements of the** **Parochial Church Council for the year ended 31[st] December 2024** ## **Vicar** The Reverend David Willis 86 Tyrone Road Southend-on-Sea, SS1 3HB **Bankers Independent Examiner** Barclays Bank PLC Mr Graham Lane FCA 127 High Street 43 Tyrone Road Southend-on-Sea, SS1 1LH Southend-on-Sea, SS1 3HE **Our website** www.st-augustines.info ## **The Parochial Church Council of St Augustine of Canterbury Thorpe Bay** ## **Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2024** ## **Aim and Purpose** St Augustine’s Parochial Church Council (the PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, the Reverend David Willis, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. As well as the Church itself, the PCC is also responsible for maintaining the Church Hall in Johnstone Road. ## **Objectives and Activities** The PCC of St Augustine’s Thorpe Bay, is committed to enabling as many people as possible to encounter God through worship, prayer, and community life, and to become part of the parish family. In planning its work, the PCC has taken full account of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, particularly in relation to the advancement of religion. Our worship and services put faith into practice through scripture, prayer, music, and sacrament. We seek to help people live out their Christian faith in everyday life through: - Regular worship and prayer, providing opportunities to grow in faith and understanding of the Gospel; - Pastoral care for all, offering support and compassion to those in need across the parish; - Active mission and outreach, working in partnership with the wider community and sharing God’s love through hospitality, welcome, and service. To facilitate this work, it is vital that we maintain the fabric of both the Church and the Hall. ## **Achievements and Performance** ## **Worship and Prayer** Worship and prayer at St Augustine’s Church, Thorpe Bay, are rooted in the Anglican tradition, offering a rhythm of services that nurture both personal devotion and communal faith. The regular schedule includes Sunday Holy Communion at 8:00am (Book of Common Prayer), Parish Communion at 10:00am, and Evensong at 6:30pm. Midweek worship is normally Holy Communion on Wednesdays at 10:00am, along with Morning and Evening Prayer from Monday to Thursday at 8:30am and 5:00pm, respectively. The church also observes key liturgical seasons with special services during Holy Week, Easter, and Christmas, along with special services for occasions such as Mothering Sunday and Harvest Festival. During the year we held specific services with a focus on inviting members of the community who may not usually attend church. These included a Guest Service where the elements of the service were explained as we went along, and an informal Carol Singing event with mulled wine and mince pies. During December over 3,000 people attended a festive service including services for local schools and the Southend RNLI. During 2024, St Augustine’s hosted several Civic services on behalf of Southend City Council, an honour bestowed on us while Revd. Frank Smith (assistant clergy at St Augustine’s) was serving as the Mayor’s Chaplain. As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. There have been 6 Baptisms, 4 weddings and 12 funerals during the year. 2 St Augustine’s continues to be a place where people are invited to encounter God in worship and grow in faith together. In addition to services at St Augustine’s, the vicar took Easter and Christmas services in two local retirement homes, as well as assemblies and acts of corporate worship at three schools. Those who are unable to come to Church are not forgotten. The clergy and Lay Eucharistic Ministers exercise a ministry of visiting the housebound and taking communion to those at home and in hospital. ## **Deanery Synod** Three members of the PCC sit on the Southend Deanery Synod. This provides the PCC with a link with the churches around us, and also with the Diocese as a whole. It also receives reports from the General Synod. Speakers at the meetings during 2024 included the CEO of HARP (a local homelessness charity), the Diocesan Secretary (speaking about finance and funding), and the Diocesan Director of Education. The meeting provided much for members of the synod to talk about, reflect on, and take back to their PCCs and parishes. ## **Church Fabric** During the year, a range of works were carried out to maintain and improve the fabric and furnishings of St Augustine’s Church and Church Hall. In January, the interior of the church was redecorated, brightening the space considerably. The Quinquennial Inspection was completed in May 2024 and thankfully showed the church to be in good shape. A tree survey in July led to recommended works being carried out in October. At the hall, the roof over the entrance was renewed, and leaks around the hall gutters were repaired. The surrounding boundary wall, including the section near the tree, was made safe in six places. Church hall improvements included stage curtain repairs, removal of pre-school items, clearing of the backstage area, and disposal of old sheds. Plans for an annex to be built on the North side of the church have continued to progress throughout the year following advice from the Diocesan Office, and planning permission was submitted. ## **Mission, Evangelism, Fellowship, and Community Engagement** Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith. During 2024, St Augustine’s maintained its giving to charities including the Royal British Legion, Christian Aid, and HARP (Southend’s leading Homelessness Charity). The latter of these was supported by the congregation and community through donations of food at Harvest, and toiletries on Mothering Sunday and Fathers’ Day. Our bi-monthly magazine, ‘Roundabout’, has a print run of some 300 copies and gives details of what is coming up, and reports on previous activities. In May, June and July, St Augustine’s offered the Alpha Course as an introduction to the Christian Faith. The offer was taken up by 25 people of varying ages and prior involvement with the Church. Feedback from the course was very positive. For the first time in many years, St Augustine’s offered a Summer Fete. It was held on the last Sunday in June and attracted many visitors from the local area. The mix of tea and cake, games, bouncy castles, hot food, stalls, tower tours, and live music meant the event was well enjoyed and raised in excess of £2,500 for church funds. In October, St Augustine’s held a Harvest Supper and Quiz night which was attended by about 80 people from the church and community. In December, in addition to all the services, St Augustine’s hosted a Christmas Friendship Tea with a special aim at reaching people who may otherwise have been on their own, the grieving, and those who are cared for and their carers. The event was support by funding from the Community Investment Board. Over 100 people enjoyed festive food and drink, live music, bingo, singing, and the opportunity to talk to local experts including a parish nurse, bereavement counsellors, and representatives of local charities such as Age UK. Throughout the year, the church organised meals out at the local Golf Club and one of the Indian restaurants, as well as a special lunch in the church hall to celebrate our Patronal Festival. 3 ## **Other Activities** The PCC publishes in March each year, a separate document containing additional reports from the Churchwardens, the Parish Safeguarding Officer, The Deanery Synod Representatives, and the Electoral Roll officer. This document is available in church prior to the annual meetings and thereafter on the website or by contacting the Incumbent or PCC Secretary. ## **Financial Review** In 2024, we experienced a decrease in total incoming resources, which amounted to £137,621 compared to £195,560 in 2023. This decline was primarily due to reduced voluntary income and income from church activities. Despite this, the PCC maintained its commitment to various activities and services, with total resources expended reaching £159,274. The PCC’s unrestricted funds decreased from £79,693 at the start of the year to £64,334 by year-end, reflecting a net movement of -£21,653. Restricted funds also saw a slight reduction, ending the year at £1,035,495 compared to £1,038,493 at the beginning. The overall net assets of the PCC stood at £1,099,829 at the end of 2024, down from £1,118,186 in 2023. Investments at market value decreased to £41,349, and liabilities falling due within one year increased to £29,641 – including the £24,222 balance on the new Church seating which was delivered in early January 2025. Overall, while the PCC faced financial challenges in 2024, it continued to support its mission, maintain its facilities, and engage with the community effectively. A stewardship campaign is planned for H1 2025, which, in conjunction with a review of resources expended, is intended to mitigate the risk of recurrence in future years. The PCC extends its sincere appreciation to Colin Russell, who retired as PCC Treasurer this year after more than thirty years of exemplary service. ## **Reserves Policy** The PCC has resolved to maintain a balance on our General (unrestricted) Fund, which equates to at least one months’ unrestricted payments (£12,000) to cover emergencies. ## **Safeguarding** The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). ## **Volunteers** The members of the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so tirelessly to make our Church a lively and vibrant community. Particular thanks go to our Churchwardens, Tricia Muzalewski and Paul Chisnell, and to the assistant clergy who have helped during the year, Revd. Frank Smith, Revd. Canon Michael Ballard, and Revd. Canon Stephen Burdett, as well as our Authorised Lay Preacher, Canon Linda Barnard. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. The Council comprises the Incumbent, the Churchwardens, those elected to the Deanery Synod, and other members who are elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, by those on the Electoral Roll. Members of the congregation are always encouraged to join the Electoral Roll, and to consider standing for election to the PCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance in the parish, and for all financial matters. The full PCC met six times during the year. The average level of attendance was 90%. Given its wide responsibilities, the PCC has a number of sub committees, each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These include a Church Hall Committee, a Building Committee, and an active Standing Committee which comprises the Incumbent, Churchwardens, Secretary and Treasurer. 4 ## **Administrative Information** The Church is situated on St Augustine's Avenue, Thorpe Bay, Southend-on-Sea, SS1 3JQ and is part of the Deanery of Southend, in the Diocese of Chelmsford. The correspondence address is 86 Tyrone Road, Southend-on-Sea, SS1 3HB. The PCC is a body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, and the Church Representation Rules 2022) and is registered charity number 1128847. PCC members who have served from **1[st ]** January 2024 until the date this report was approved were: ## **Ex Officio** |**Ex Officio**||| |---|---|---| |The Incumbent|The Revd David Willis|**Chair**| |Churchwardens|Dr Paul Chisnell|| ||Mrs Patricia Muzalewski|**Vice Chair**| |Deanery Synod Reps|Lay Canon Linda Barnard|**Authorised Lay Preacher**

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention except for the Church Hall which is shown at the value for insurance purposes. The financial statements include all transactions, assets, and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. ## **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 is carried forward as a balance on that fund. The PCC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Unrestricted Funds are general funds which can be used by the PCC for ordinary purposes. ## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 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 notified as to its entitlement to the amounts due. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All income is accounted for gross. ## **RESOURCES USED** Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over or when awarded if the award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the PCC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due. Amounts received specifically for missions are dealt with as restricted funds. All other expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. ## **FIXED ASSETS** Consecrated land and buildings are excluded from the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act. Movable church furnishings held by the vicar and churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal are inalienable property, listed in the church’s inventory which can be inspected. For anything acquired prior to 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 £5,000 so all such expenditure has been written off when incurred. The church seating was replaced in the year. Equipment used in the church and church hall is written off when purchased. ## **CURRENT ASSETS** Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees rents or other income are shown as debtors in the balance sheet less provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short term deposits are sums standing to the credit of the PCC in the Central Board of Finance Church of England Deposit Funds. 9 ## **2. INCOMING RESOURCES** |**2023**
