**The Parish Church of St. Anne, Kew Green, TW9 3AA Charity number 1129136**
## **Annual Report 2020**
## **Aim and purposes**
The Parochial Church Council of St. Anne’s Church, Kew Green, Diocese of Southwark is responsible, in coordination with the Vicar, the Reverend Nigel J. Worn, and the Churchwardens, for promoting in its ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the church and for the maintenance of St. Anne’s Church and its Hall and the Churchyard.
## **Safeguarding**
The PCC has adopted and implemented the Diocesan manual on being a Safer Church and has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to the House of Bishop’s guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). Safeguarding is a standing item on all main PCC agendas. Danielle Ramrekar-Singh is our Safeguarding Officer with Chloe Sadler overseeing the administration of DBS checks.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The PCC is committed to strive towards an inclusive community in which all people, whether within the bounds of the parish or in the wider area of West London, feel welcome to worship in our church and participate in our parish activities. We offer inclusive worship in the High Church Anglican tradition, with an emphasis on well-ordered choral liturgy, and a church building and hall, situated in the historic centre of Kew, available for a multitude of community activities.
Our activities include not only offering a full range of services normal to the Church of England, including such public rituals as baptisms, weddings and funerals, but also, having had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance on the advancement of religion for public benefit, a number of services to the community who may or may not be worshippers –
- Maintenance of and access to an historic building;
- Religious education;
- A regular musical programme, both religious and secular;
- Active governance of our Church of England voluntary-aided primary school, The Queen’s School;
- Pastoral care for those living in the parish and who request it;
- Support (financial and otherwise) for other charities;
- Provision of the Church to The Queen’s School and local independent schools for various services;
- Provision of the Parish Hall for community use
## **Overview of 2020**
Like all charities we have been affected by the pandemic. The closing of our Church doors in March meant that we had to rethink how we operated. This translated into moving our services to being initially recorded and uploaded to the live streaming of our Sunday worship and offering Morning Prayer on the Zoom platform. The lockdown meant that our Holy Week and Easter services, that are usually the highlight of the liturgical
2
year, were recorded and broadcast with just the priest and organist present. These recorded and streamed services were greatly appreciated by our congregation and helped to sustain them during these tough times. What also emerged at this time was the unstinting willingness of the congregation to reach out to isolated and vulnerable people in the community. Members of our congregation joined the numerous WhatsApp street groups that sprung up. Members of our congregation volunteered to work with the Kew Neighbourhood Association who work to provide practical help with isolated and vulnerable people in the Kew area.
Thanks to the generosity of many people who support the life and work of our church in their giving by Standing Order, our income from this source has held up well with some donors also increasing their monthly donations. Inevitably the closed church meant that other sources of income fell away, but much of the shortfall was offset by the spirited response to a special appeal at Christmas. In the hope and faith that during 2021 we will emerge from the worst effects of this pandemic the Parochial Church Council decided to maintain its pledge to the Diocesan Parish Support Fund both for 2020 and for 2021.
The pandemic led to us cancelling our summer Sunday teas and afternoon recitals which have, until now, been the mainstay of our outreach and service to the wider community. This together with the cancellation of concerts and school use of the Church and Hall has severely and negatively affected what St Anne’s has traditionally offered to the community.
Emerging from lockdown meant finding new and safe ways for us to worship. The Churchwardens carried out numerous health and safety audits to enable our church to be as safe as possible. Our safe number of worshippers was set at 60 and we introduced good protocols to keep those attending safe. No congregational singing was allowed; instead our Director of Music, Julian Kelly, offered us well-researched music, mainly by Bach, to enrich our worship. Teams of willing volunteers ensured that the church building was kept sanitized. St Anne’s joined the NHS Track and Trace system. Those who did not postpone their marriages were limited to sixteen guests; similarly those mourning the loss of loved ones were limited to congregations of thirty; and those requesting Holy Baptism were limited in the number of guests who could attend.
In mid December 2020 with Covid-19 infections steeply rising again we took the decision to close the church for public worship, but not for private prayer, relying once again on live streaming. On a positive note our young people produced a Nativity video and recorded a version of the carol Silent Night as a gift to the congregation. The church is indebted to Emily Norman and our Junior Church leaders for their creative vision and ministry to our young people.
As the number of Covid-19 infections began to fall in February 2021, we opened the church again to public worship on Ash Wednesday and on the Sundays following, though with numbers limited to 30.
At the time of writing this report the country is still in lockdown and is likely to remain under severe restrictions for many months to come. St Anne’s Church will find ways to reintroduce our summer Sunday teas and recital program but this will be in a restricted and safe way.

## **Achievements and Performance**
## _Worship and Services_
Our regular pattern of Sunday worship is supplemented by weekday services. On Sundays when we were open we offered the community the following pattern, 8.00am Said Eucharist (traditional language), 10.00am Sung Eucharist with Junior Church (Common Worship) and 5.00pm Evening Prayer. All our worship is open to the whole community.
We also conducted and officiated at 6 baptisms, 6 weddings and 13 funerals.
In the community, when pandemic restrictions allow, we take Holy Communion to the housebound and those in residential care at Cecil Court. We conduct weekly acts of worship either in person or via a recording, at our church-affiliated Queen’s School.
Fr. Nicholas Darby is a valued member of our team, assisting with the Sunday Eucharist. Fr Nick also deputised during Fr Nigel’s sick leave at the beginning of the year. Emily Norman is Assistant to the Incumbent, focussing on Community Outreach and provides Ministry to younger members of the parish.
## _Deanery Synod_
Six members of the PCC sat on the Richmond and Barnes Deanery Synod up to the 2020 APCM and five members after that date. One member also sits on the Diocesan Synod. These links enable us to better understand what is going on in the Church of England and to make our voice heard on the issues of the day. The Deanery Synod met 3 times in 2020. Fr Peter Hart moved from our two sister parishes in Kew and was replaced as Area Dean by Father Alex Barrow, Team Vicar at All Saint’s East Sheen.
Only one Deanery Synod meeting could take place in person. Iso Neville (Social Media Officer for the Church of England Digital Team) presented a talk on Digital Discipleship. Iso discussed the different forms of social media and who their audiences are. She also explained the best methods on reaching people and how to present messages and content and widen our outreach for Ministry and Mission, along with some tips on what to avoid. The next two meetings, held virtually, concentrated on the pandemic with parishes encouraged to share their experiences of how they have adapted to meet the needs of the community without the availability of public worship, both via use of online platforms and also reaching people who are not on the internet. A later focus was on how to reach out to those who have been reluctant to return to church during the period when lockdown restrictions were eased.
## _Care of the Fabric_
The Fabric and Finance Committee met three times in 2020. The restoration of the Church perimeter wall was completed, funded by the Friends of St Anne’s. A refurbishment of the rooms behind the Royal Gallery took place allowing for much needed multi-use space and for St Anne’s to broaden its ministry. Generous donations were received to update the lighting and refurbish the gallery staircase. Lighting to the nave and high altar was updated at the end of 2019. A beautification project also started within the Churchyard and a programme of plantings took place with further work to be undertaken next year.
4
We are committed to working to mitigate the effects of climate change by working towards becoming an Eco Church. The Church moved to sustainable supply for its energy needs. We ensure that all fabric and building repairs and developments result in a reduction of our carbon footprint.
## _Community Outreach_
Owing to the pandemic we were unable to serve teas on Summer Sunday afternoons in 2020. The pandemic also prevented our musical programme of Sunday afternoon concerts during the same period. After the first lockdown we were no longer able to provide space for a carer and toddler group, ‘Little Angels’ on Thursday mornings, nor allow local groups to rent the Church Hall or allow the hosting of charitable meetings or Christmas carol services.
Our Director of Music is Julian Kelly. The Church is normally used for regular concerts by such groups as the Kew Sinfonia, Faust Ensemble, Cantanti Camerati, the Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra, Eloquenza,and Maiastra, coordinated by our Director of Music who also arranges for soloists to accompany the choir on selected Sunday services.
St. Anne’s is an active member of Churches Together in Kew, which groups the area’s Christian churches into an ecumenical body. Due to the pandemic we were unable to host our usual “Vineyard lunches”, which are lunches for homeless people, in our Church Hall as part of an initiative with other churches in the deanery.
## _Ministry and Mission_
The M&M Committee met twice in 2020 – on 13 January and 2 November. During the intervening months, owing to the pandemic, issues that would normally have been considered by the M&M Committee were covered at PCC meetings.
The first meeting of 2020 (before the pandemic hit the UK) was held in person and recorded a number of positives in the preceding year. Notable among them was the progress made with the St Anne’s development plan – including: proposals for a revamped St Anne’s website; plans for Everyday Faith sessions by, and among, the congregation; a new, two-room set-up for Junior Church, allowing sessions tailored to different age groups; and successful film and discussion evenings for young people. There was also positive reflection on the success of the Messiah and Crib Service during the previous Advent.
Looking to the future, the Committee considered ‘Fresh Ideas’ for exploring faith – including faith walks, retreats, pilgrimages and Lent study with Pilgrim courses and/or USPG. Ideas were also mooted for a party to thank those who delivered the successful ‘Summer Teas’ season in 2019. However, the Committee – already aware of the growing global concern around Covid-19 – acknowledge that any and all plans may be subject to change. The Committee also noted the issue of pastoral care – including parish visitors and help to attend Church – and committed to a fuller discussion on this at subsequent meetings.
The Committee returned to the theme of pastoral care at its next meeting on 2 November (a virtual meeting), by which time was acute – partly owing to the pandemic, and partly in the context of Father Nigel’s planned retirement. A small working group was formed to explore solutions. Proposals were developed and submitted
5
to the PCC, and are now being taken forward under the leadership of the Church Wardens. The Committee also played a supporting role in plans for Christmas worship and addressing the shortfall in income likely to result from the lack of physical Church attendance at events, such as the Crib Service.
Despite the pandemic, there were many positive developments throughout the year. More progress was made on the St Anne’s Development Plan – including a consultation that identified three priorities: visibility, connectedness and journeying. These priorities were very much in evidence in the way Junior Church continued in a variety of virtual ways – mainly thanks to the leadership and work of Emily Norman. During a challenging year the redesigned website was crucial to the connectedness of St Anne’s. Thanks to the hard work of Adam Watson, the website became ever more important in maintaining connections with, and for, the congregation and community, publicising inventive initiatives for worship and education during the lockdowns/restricted periods.
Looking to the longer term, proposals were developed by Julian Kelly to support the St Anne’s choral tradition – including choral scholarships. The M&M Committee, and the wider PCC, also spent a significant amount of time considering St Anne’s charitable giving for the next three years – supported by the work of Tina Ruygrok in researching and evaluating all proposed charities, for which the M&M Committee is very grateful. The chosen charities are Kew Neighbourhood Association, Dose of Nature, Age UK Richmond, Winston’s Wish and United Society Partners in the Gospel.
## _Education_
“Junior Church” (JC) is provided every Sunday morning, except in August, with parents leading an educational session, involving crafts, related to the liturgy of the day. Under the leadership of two qualified teachers we continue to have a fine group of volunteers leading JC who bring a variety of talents to their sessions. Children come each week and are able to experience an exciting interpretation of the scriptures and take part in creative activities. Safeguarding participants of JC remains paramount. Our Junior Choir also sing each month during our sung Eucharist. Our ability to host Junior Church was affected by the pandemic with it only being offered in the months before the first lockdown and during some weeks towards the end of the year.
In 2020, we began the year with our expanded Junior Church groups - enabling provision to be targeted at different age groups and ensuring we engaged our older children. We also continued to see growth in our Film Club. With the arrival of lockdown, we quickly adapted our work to provide a weekly online worship video, which many families contributed too. Children really enjoyed seeing themselves on film and on average 25 families would access this. We also provided a separate space for our older children to come together and talk, play games and learn about famous Christians who set an example through their lives, and a coffee hangout for parents.
One off collaborative activities proved very popular, and the sharing of Easter eggs around Kew reached over 30 families. We also had over 40 children involved in our 'Letters for Creation' quilt, which is now displayed in our parish rooms, alongside a video made by our older group describing their hopes for the future of our planet. We ended the year with a very special Christingle service for our families, and two very special videos for our congregation: a nativity, told scene by scene by our children (and sometimes their parents, too) and a beautiful version of Silent Night.

Whilst the year presented many challenges, it has been encouraging to see that we have retained a strong core of families and been able to connect with an increasing number of families through our different projects.
## _Charities_
As trustees, our primary obligation is to fund St. Anne’s and its direct activities. However, recognising our need to assist the wider church in 2015 the Parochial Church Council decided to give to mission 5% of our donated income. For 2020 this resulted in a commitment of £11,500 (2019 £11,200) distributed as shown in note 3(a) of the accounts. Other donations made in the year are shown in the same note.
Additionally, members of the congregations raised £3,450 for Christian Aid. This is less than previous years as there was no sponsored walk owing to the pandemic. However, we are grateful for the sum raised during these difficult circumstances.
## **Financial Review**
The receipts and expenditure for the year 2020 are set out in the financial statements, allocated to unrestricted and restricted funds. One category of expenditure, refurbishing the Royal Gallery ante rooms, impacts both funds. This project was already underway at the start of the pandemic, following lengthy planning. Part (about £25,000) was funded from donations given in 2018 and 2020 specifically for that purpose (and held in a restricted fund) and the rest (about £50,000) was funded from an unrestricted repairs fund built up in prior years. The commentary below addresses the other income and expenditure of the year.
The **unrestricted funds** show the flow of income and expenditure related to the general activities of the church. The income is dominated by planned donations from many individuals of almost £199,000. Naturally as donors die or move away this income reduces unless it is replaced as we welcome new members of the congregation. An appeal in Lent 2020 invited everyone to review the level of their regular giving, but this was interrupted by the pandemic. As the disruption carried on through the summer and autumn, two features of the overall income became clear: on the one hand, regular committed donations remained rock steady, but on the other, sources of income which rely on people being able to meet together (for example teas, rent, collections at carol services) inevitably suffered, declining overall by about £29,000 compared with 2019. A special Christmas appeal to the congregation was launched in early December and raised over £21,000 (including Gift Aid). This was a very encouraging response in a difficult year.
Grants of £15,509 were received under the Listed Places of Worship Scheme, administered by the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). These grants match the VAT incurred on certain costs in 2020 relating to the fabric of the building (£13,356 related to the Royal Gallery project).
Overall, expenditure for the year can be divided into three broad categories, as follows:
38% was spent on the ministry costs of this parish (Fr Nigel, Fr Nick and Emily Norman) and its share of wider church responsibilities,
33% on funding part of the costs of other parishes in the diocese combined with charitable donations, and 29% on regular running expenses.
7
The parish makes a payment each year to the Diocese of Southwark’s Parish Support Fund. The diocese pays the stipend and housing costs of our priest and also provides central support services such as child safeguarding and ordinands’ training. The amount committed to Southwark is at the discretion of the PCC, based on the principle of informed generosity. For 2020 the PCC decided to give £144,310 (2019 £141,480). The commitment made for 2021 is £142,943. This will not only pay for the benefits which this parish receives from the diocese, but will also contribute 80% of the costs of another parish in the diocese less well able to fund itself.
Donations to charities in support of this church’s mission were £13,200 (£12,900 in 2019), including the commitment to donate 5%, £11,500, of donated income.
The other £68,632 of total unrestricted expenditure during the year was spent on delivering services, running St Anne’s and regular maintenance of the building and its surroundings. More detail is given in note 3 to the accounts.
At the end of the year unrestricted funds had decreased to £133,808 (2019 £173,571).
The **restricted funds** reduced overall by £13,558. These funds represent sums given for specific purposes.
At the start of 2020 the Fabric Fund held donations, £22,549, received in 2018 as contributions to the cost of refurbishing the Royal Gallery ante rooms for pastoral and choir activities. This was all spent during 2020. The final stage of this project is to display some of the church’s historic artefacts on the walls. This will be completed in 2021, funded by donations received during 2020 and held at the year end (£7,500). The Fabric Fund is also the conduit for the Friends of St Anne’s generous underwriting of the costs of repairing the churchyard wall – £ 28,666 in 2020, following their donation of £33,883 in 2019.
Generous donations from patrons specifically support music at St Anne’s. The Music Fund also reflects income from musical events and the cost of special musical enhancements to the major services.
Movements in the other restricted funds are shown in the financial statements.
## **Reserves policy**
The unrestricted funds have two elements: designated funds set aside for specific purposes and free reserves. At the end of 2020 a designated fund for major repairs amounted to £44,000, having contributed £50,000 to the Royal Gallery project. In addition, £10,000 has been set aside for costs associated with a change of incumbent, so that total designated funds are £54,000. This leaves free reserves at the end of 2020 of just under £80,000. This is in line with the amount the PCC considers necessary.
The PCC reviewed its reserves policy in March 2021. It decided that unrestricted reserves of £80,000 would be sufficient to enable it to cover in the short term (1 to 2 years) a major loss of income and unexpected operational costs. Careful monitoring of the on-going position will enable the church to address shortfalls extending over a longer period by undertaking specific fundraising and reconsidering the financial commitments.

Tangible fixed assets for use by the PCC are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £10,000. They are valued at cost net of any donations specifically given to fund the asset and are written off over an appropriate period. The existing fixed assets held by the PCC have all been written down to zero under this policy, hence no fixed assets are shown in this year’s balance sheet.
## **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. This includes income tax recoverable in 2021 on gift aided donations received in 2020.
