Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All Church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC operates through various committees, which meet between full meetings of the PCC.

This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact business of the PCC between meetings, subject to any directions given by the PCC. It comprises the incumbent, churchwardens, secretary and treasurer.
Children’s work:
Coordinates the work of our Sunday youth groups for children of all ages.
Social and Fund Raising:
Coordinates social events for the parish and fund-raising projects to support the work of the PCC, and in particular for specific identified needs.

Attends to matters relating to the stewardship of plant, such as church buildings and fabric, the churchyards, 99 Gillmans Road and the Old Church Hall (Amity Blinds).
Finance:
Advises the PCC and assists the treasurer on financial policy and accounting matters.

Stewardship:
Coordinates the development of Christian stewardship in the parish. This encompasses gifts of money through planned giving and also gifts of time and talents to support the wide needs of our busy church.
Festival Choir:
Organises and raises funds to support regular concerts (through sale of tickets and a Friends’ scheme) for the All Saints’ Festival Choir.
Objectives and Activities
All Saints’ 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. It also has maintenance responsibilities for the Church and Hall complex and 99 Gillmans Road, Orpington.
Achievements and Performance
Clergy and Lay Ministers
The parish is fortunate in having several retired clergy in our normal congregation. They have supported the vicar in taking services during his leave and at other times. The PCC is very grateful to: Rev’d Ann Uphill, Rev’d Chris Kitchener and Rev’d Canon Tim Mercer who have provided the greater part of this support.
Our formal lay ministry team comprises our Licensed Lay Ministers Mrs Pam Mercer and Mrs Abi Hiscock and our Pastoral Assistants Mrs Sheila Anderson and Mrs Jill Renwick. Lay ministers assist the Vicar with both pastoral visits and home communions for those unable to receive the Sacrament in church. Telephone calls, pastoral visits and a monthly Bereavement Group provide support to the bereaved.
The ministry team were supported by several members of the congregation who led Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer and enabled us to say both Daily Offices on every weekday – something that very few parish churches manage to achieve.
Church attendance
The Electoral Roll was updated prior to the annual meetings which took place in April 2023. The number on the Roll reduced by seven to 108. Four new members replaced eleven who had died or left. The average attendance at All Saints’ on a Sunday was 84 adults and 12 children, just slightly more than in 2022. Around five people regularly watch the stream of the main Sunday Eucharist live, while a further 30 people view at least part of the service later in the week.
The PCC
The full PCC met six times during the year with an average level of attendance of 74%. Committees met between meetings and minutes were received by the full PCC and discussed where necessary. As well as the committees listed above, there are many other groups that help take forward the ministry and mission of the church. These groups meet virtually or in person as convenient.
Our direct away giving once again concentrated on charities in which All Saints is directly involved. The Michael Project and the work of Helen and David Hobbs in Zimbabwe continued to receive the greatest support. Most of our direct giving was directed overseas. However, in paying our indicative offer to Rochester Diocese in full, we made a substantial contribution towards supporting those parishes that cannot afford the costs of their own ministers.
Public Worship
Our normal pattern of eucharistic worship includes a Sunday 8 a.m. Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer) and 9.30 a.m. Parish Eucharist and a Wednesday 10 a.m. said Eucharist. The Sunday 9.30 and Wednesday Eucharists are streamed, attracting an estimated average of 40 viewers each
Page 2
week. We introduced a weekly Healing and Wholeness Eucharist on a Tuesday morning which has a small but appreciative congregation. Contemplative Prayer and Lectio Divina Reflection, alternate twice a month, on a Friday, for prayer, reflection, and peaceful silence. An evening service in the style of the Taizé community has moved from an occasional to a regular monthly event, further broadening the range of All Saints worship.
Morning Prayer is said in church and streamed to Facebook on weekdays. We are delighted that there were sufficient volunteers from the congregation to continue saying Evening Prayer throughout 2022. This service is streamed daily. With the daily office twice a day augmenting our weekly Eucharists we are offering more opportunities to join in worship than any other church in the area, and we know from comments received how valuable this facility is to many who are housebound or nervous about going out, not only in our congregation but much further afield. This is a very important feature of All Saints’ ministry.
There was an attendance of 149 (2022 – 136) and 110 (127) communicants on Easter Day 2023. During Advent we held our normal carol services for the congregation, and special services for one of the primary schools in the parish and for local firms of funeral directors, which attracted a total attendance of 981 (2022 – 611) .
It was a joy to see a packed church once again for the Christingle Service on Christmas Eve. It is difficult to count accurately at this active service but we estimate an attendance in excess of 450 compared with 335 the previous year. For many of the families who come to Christingle, this is their annual exposure to the Church. The Eucharists on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day attracted 126 (2022 – 97) communicants and an attendance of 189 (141).
There were 16 (2022 – 26) Baptisms, which usually took place on Sunday afternoons. There were 2 (2) Marriages. 12 (16) Funerals took place in church or in the churchyard and 7 (8) services were conducted at a crematorium by the All Saints’ ministry team.
Music
During the year the excellent acoustics and facilities of All Saints has attracted an increasing number of concerts and recitals. Some such as our own Festival Choir have used the church for many years, others are discovering All Saints for the first time. Our series of monthly Saturday lunchtime “coffee recitals” showcases young musicians in their early years at music college and has a strong following.
Our Director of Music, Phoebe Tak Man Chow resigned in August. We are grateful for the work she put into All Saints music, especially during the pandemic. This change enables us to take stock of our music provision, and we surveyed the congregation to ascertain their hopes, which were in general for a stronger Parish Choir and a reintroduction of a Junior Choir. To facilitate this, we appointed Nick Wibberley as Music Ministry Director from 1 January 2024. “Ministry” is an important part of Nick’s job title as we look to music becoming a strong part of All Saints’ overall ministry, and to growth in our music generating growth in our congregation and ultimately in greater financial security for the parish.
We intend to appoint an Organist and Parish Choir Director early in 2024. In the meantime, Richard Decker has been carrying out this role with enthusiasm and commitment. For the more demanding musical content our small but enthusiastic volunteer choir has been augmented by professional singers. This has enabled us to have quality monthly Sunday evening services, normally a Choral Evensong.
Reaching our members
We have continued to communicate both parish news and worship material to the congregation and the wider public through our Facebook page, our website and sending out the weekly pew sheet and the parish magazine by email to well over 100 people, all of which have been very well received. All our streamed services have a few people watching live, but significantly more view the recordings later in the day or week, including members of the normal “in church” congregation who are unable to attend on a particular Sunday. Our worshipping community has spread worldwide, including former parishioners from All Saints who have moved away but still consider All Saints their spiritual home.

Young people
Both Young Saints, who meet on Sunday mornings and the Thursday Tots group have seen their numbers increase with Tots reaching record attendances towards the end of the year. Young Saints’ weekly report to the congregation on their activities when they join the main service is eagerly awaited and it has been a joy to hear the young people speak with clarity, confidence and enthusiasm. During the year we started “Meet and Munch”, a group for younger teenagers. Two sessions took place in 2023 and the group is in its early days, but we hope numbers will permit a regular monthly group for this age range. We have continued to hold Parade Services four times a year with our associated groups of Scouts and Guides.
To grow All Saints’ the PCC is convinced that the route is through growing our young people’s ministry, whether the groups above or a strong junior choir. Developing these to the extent we need is beyond volunteer resources. The PCC is actively looking at ways of financing the support for growing this ministry. This is likely to involve a paid youth and families worker of some sort. In order to build our missionary development fund to be able to support an individual for a three-year appointment we have decided to approach grant awarding bodies as well as making this the primary objective of church fund raising.
The Church Building and Churchyard
There were no major works planned or necessary in the church or churchyard, in 2023, although there was a steady stream of routine maintenance tasks undertaken.
Both church and churchyard benefitted from links with a local Community Payback group. They have continued to clear the churchyard of overgrown vegetation and have repainted railings round the church, re-stained woodwork and done much other work for only the cost of materials.
Risk Management
The PCC has identified the major risks that affect the work of the Church in the parish and controls are in place to mitigate the major risks. Fire Risk assessments are reviewed for the church and hall annually and Health and Safety risk assessments, including Coronavirus risks, have been undertaken. The PCC has ensured that it has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops' guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). The PCC is committed to ensuring that our church and hall are safe places for all who use them.
Financial Review
The PCC budgeted a deficit of £13,600 on general funds for 2023. This assumed a below inflation increase in giving of 4.8%, which we assumed possible despite the economic climate and pressures on the cost of living. In the event giving declined by 7.5% and was 12% below the budget expectation. Fortunately, other items of income and expenditure turned in generally positive results, and the outcome was a deficit for the year of £9,150. Investment markets performed well, especially in Q4, and our investments appreciated by £4,500. This has helped the position but nevertheless the result is a significant erosion of our reserves.
Looking forward to 2024, the position is much less healthy. The PCC has again budgeted for a deficit of £13,600. Even this level of deficit can only be achieved if giving increases to the level we budgeted for in 2023, which is a substantial increase in excess of 10%. We cannot rely on investment appreciation as markets can go down as well as up.
In setting the 2024 budget the PCC has set a significant challenge to increase congregational giving towards income and expenditure being in line. The consequences of not achieving this are very significant for the Parish: our general reserves will have declined to the point where we have to use reserves set aside for specific purposes to balance income and expenditure. In turn this means that all our plans for developing youth work and growing the parish will come to naught.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ALL SAINTS ORPINGTON NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006, together with applicable accounting standards, and the Charities SORP 2005. The historical cost convention has been used except for the valuation of the freehold properties, which are shown at the Trustees’ valuation at 31st December 2023, and invested assets, which are shown at market value.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. Restricted funds have been given for a particular purpose. In investing the funds the PCC draws no distinction between the different types of fund.
The accounts 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.
Incoming Resources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC.
Planned giving receivable through Gift Aid is recognised when received and income tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised.
Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for when the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due.
Rental income from letting church premises is recognised when received and dividends and interest are recognised when receivable.
Gains and losses on investments
Realised gains or losses are recognised on sale. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31 December.
Resources expended
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid.
The diocesan contribution is accounted for when payable.
Fixed assets
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by section 96 (2) (a) of the Charities Act 1993.
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the PCC and which require a faculty for disposal since the PCC considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and movable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities and separately disclosed.
Expenditure on equipment used within the church premises is written off when the asset is acquired.
Investment assets are taken at market value at the balance sheet date.
Page 9
PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ALL SAINTS ORPINGTON NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investment properties are valued by the Trustees at 31[st] December. An open market value has been assessed taking into account existing encumbrances. The PCC believes this to be a fair reflection of the current value of the properties. Revaluation of property in this way is not considered to be a departure from the historic cost basis of accounting. No depreciation is charged on investment properties, which is contrary to generally accepted accounting standards. The PCC considers that depreciation is only one of many factors taken into account in determining the value of such properties and the amount that might be disclosed cannot be separately identified or quantified.
Current assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.
Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit with the CBF Church of England Funds and in accounts with Rochester Diocesan Society and Board of Finance.
2. RESTRICTED AND DESIGNATED FUNDS
The Cann Trust is a restricted fund related to the Churchyard Fund. Income is used for upkeep of the churchyard. Further details are given in Note 6.
All Saints’ Festival Choir, which puts on termly concerts, and St Michael’s Guild, which is responsible for church flower arranging are considered to be restricted funds. Those organisations receive donations and hold fund raising events for the specific purposes indicated.
Donations for specific external charitable purposes that are not paid by the end of the year are held as restricted assets. This includes donations for the planned refurbishment and repair of the lychgate.
With exception of the freehold property held in the Capital Fund, all designated funds hold only cash on deposit and in current accounts.
Designated funds are held for the following purposes:
| Capital – Real Property | Holds the Church’s property investments. Income from this fund accrues to |
|---|---|
| General Funds. | |
| Ministry Development Fund. This fund was established by the PCC in 2018. The purpose is to support | |
| the costs of a second employed minister (ordained or lay) during the period | |
| until the resultant increases in numbers and congregational giving make the | |
| post self-supporting. | |
| Churchyard Fund | Funds designated for the upkeep of the “new” churchyard – Newell’s |
| Meadow. The churchyard surrounding the church is closed and upkeep is | |
| the responsibility of the London Borough of Bromley. | |
| Church Repair Funds | These funds are for work arising from quinquennial inspections of the various |
| church premises. | |
| Organ Fund | Accumulated funds in the event of major work required to the organ. |
| All Saints’ Tots | Working capital for day to day activities. |
