  2. Apologies were received from

Debi Lagor Hannah Mitchell Sandra and Andy Bowskill Danny Wignall Charles Earl

  1. Approval of the Minutes of the AMP and APCM dated 22nd October 2020 was proposed by Dave Rayner, seconded by Ron Hudson, and duly approved.

  2. Matters Arising – none were tabled.

  3. The presentation of the Electoral Roll and the Electoral Roll Officer's report was submitted. No changes were reported, and the register was accordingly closed on the 8[th] April. This year a complete revision was not mandated.

  4. Elections to PCC – Gavin Thomas and Ann Hedges agreed to stand for a further term. Ann proposed by Julie Adams and seconded by Gill Coombes, Gavin was proposed by Julie Adams and seconded by Liz Sharpe and duly approved.

  5. PCC Secretary’s Report incorporating Proceedings of the Council during 2020. Debs thanked the PCC for carrying on through zoom. Tricia Law wanted to check whether the required gap year for service had been completed by those standing again for PCC. Debs responded that a gap was no longer mandated, and this was duly confirmed by Ron Hudson. Debs thanked Mike Coombes for his work as PCC secretary.

  6. Treasurer’s Report – The annual accounts were with Donna Cooksley, the independent examiner, and comments were awaited. Dave Rayner walked the APCM through his report. Elaine Whittle raised a query regarding any rental income from Oxford Way and whether anyone could rent it from the Diocese. Dave Rayner clarified that the property could only be used for ministry purposes – and only rented short term. He added that we were actively looking for a suitable tenant. Debs confirmed that there was no flexibility in how we spent any rental income from the property. Theresa May asked whether we could sell the property? Dave responded that the PCC frequently discussed this very issue but that was not an option currently. Debs added that the church would find it hard to ever replace it if it was needed for the use of any curate in the future. It represented a big asset and attraction when recruiting new staff. Elaine suggested that in the short term perhaps

6

nearby Tear Fund could use it? Debs agreed to take a look at this as it might be permissible as a Christian charity and that we could ask the Diocese.

Approval of the annual accounts, subject to the independent examination currently underway, was proposed by John Baggs, seconded by John Wittin, and duly approved. Appointment of the Independent Examiner for 2021 Approved examiner was proposed by Yvonne Mansell, seconded by Julie Adams, and duly approved. Debs thanked Dave for his diligent work over the last year.

  1. Church Wardens’ Report including a report on the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the Church for 2020 was provided and no questions ensued.

  2. Children Worker’s Report – Wendy Rayner gave thanks to the parents and to Vanessa Hughes for helping this year. Wendy also thanked the children, adding that we were all blessed to have them as part of the church family. Debs expressed her thanks for Wendy’s commitment and work that was well above and beyond the call of duty.

  3. Director of Music’s Report – Paul Hughes thanked Debs for her support in this role. Dave suggested that it was perhaps the most difficult of Paul’s last 20 years of service – and so had been a great challenge. Debs reminded the APCM that we would have had no digital church without Paul and that we have managed to carry on was largely thanks to him.

  4. Church Safeguarding Officer’s Report – Wendy reminded us of the importance of safeguarding and what it meant for the church then Gill Coombes read out the policy and commitment for the church.

  5. House group Leaders’ Report – This was an important part of keeping connected as a church and thanks were given to all leaders by Debs. Jasmine Rayner’s report was commended to the APCM as a ‘must read’ and an important part of the life of the church.

  6. Hampton Deanery Synod Report was received with no questions ensuing. 15. Vicar’s Report

  7. Thankfulness – to be here, to be here at this time. As I began this time last year, to ask God where he was calling me – I knew he would call me to leave where I was in the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of the pandemic.

  8. Thankfulness for each of you that make up this family of St Richard’s, a family that includes a pre-school and a school, a family that welcomes Church of the Living God. A family of all ages, different experiences, and different stages of faith.

  9. Trust - Lots of unanswered questions – lots of detail, of things yet to be worked out. I said when I came that there would be a time of experimenting, of seeing what works, and admitting when something doesn’t, a bit messy perhaps? A creative place where there is room for God to lead us.

  10. Verse for the year – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not depend on your own understanding, seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3 v5-6

  11. PRAYER how we learn to trust, how we discern the way forward.

  12. Lots of questions, but deeper questions are why and who?

  13. Why are we here? What difference does it make to this community for St Richards Church to be here?

  14. Who are we for? Those who have worshipped here for a long or short time – YES absolutely and for those who for whatever reason do not think they belong here, or don’t yet know Jesus. Online and on site church

7

9. HOPE

My prayer as we go into these next few months is that we will grow in hope and be a beacon of growing hope – our spire – by day and night is a tangible sign of God’s presence in this community and so are we.

Romans 15.13 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

  1. AOB - none offered

  2. Closing Prayer - Prayer of St Richard’s read by all of the meeting in unison.

PCC Secretary’s Report

This has been another very changeable year for the church in terms of our ability to operate on site and the start of the year saw the church closed for most on-site services under Tier 5 lockdown. Discretion was given to Debs to open for funerals.

Whilst most Easter services were streamed online there was a variety of brief on-site services on the key Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday services. We have felt our way back in and were able to see Debs installed 9 months after her online collation – with the singing of hymns in the church carpark.

We have, at all times, continued our online streaming for those unable to join us in the building. This has added to the technical complexity of our services as we are not using technology designed for this specialist purpose. We are working to simplify this in the coming church year with some ‘plug and play’ technology to replace the ‘plug, unplug, restart, plug’ set up that Paul has fought with at some personal cost throughout 2021. We remain very grateful for this dedicated service supplied in addition to Paul’s other responsibilities – not least on a Sunday.

Our PCC has been alternately and ably chaired by Julie and Debs during 2021 despite the challenge of running these meetings via zoom during 2021. And we thank Julie for all her work as she now steps down from this role.

8

Oxford way has been a drain on our resources since Chris Kennedy moved on to pastures new and we were delighted to welcome a tenant in September in the person of Pastor Immanual – an associate minister at Holy Trinity Hounslow.

Paul and Wendy, working on behalf of the PCC, have worked tirelessly through a long list of building related issues that needed to be resolved. This was added to in June by the Quinquennial inspection required of all church properties. This was the first inspection post the delivery of Project Grow works and the many favourable comments were received about the considerable improvements that have been made. There are, as always with a 5 yearly inspection, a number of recommendations to be addressed. Paul has kindly taken on those of highest potential safety implications with the full visibility and backing of the PCC. We are creating a working group to support this year programme of works and any support is very welcomed.

One change that you will have noticed is the addition of timercontrolled lighting to the spire in March last year. This is a fantastic beacon in the area at night. We have also seen the addition of two attractive notice boards for the church and pre-school – designed by Paul.

If you would like to know more about the work of the PCC, please don’t be afraid to ask.

Mike Coombes, PCC Secretary

Church Wardens’ Report including a report on the Fabric, Goods and Ornaments of the Church

Since our last APCM in April 2021, when we were meeting online only due to the Covid pandemic, the national rollout of Covid vaccinations meant that these were offered to people of all ages by summer 2021; once the majority of our church community were able to access these, we resumed physical services in church in May. We have continued with measures to keep people safe, such as mask wearing, hand sanitiser, ventilating the building and spacing out seating as much as possible to allow for social distancing. Measures have relaxed recently, but the majority of the congregation continue to wear masks and we continue to keep the building well ventilated during services, as Covid rates remain high.

Inspections

We had our Quinquennial inspection on 3[rd] June, and Archdeacon’s visitation on 20[th] October. In preparation for these, I carried out a fire risk assessment and a health and safety risk assessment. I sorted through and filed historic church paperwork, as well as saving all current documents (e.g., gas safety/electrical certificates etc.) on our SharePoint. I updated our out-ofdate ‘terrier and inventory’ onto a new document, listing all the items we have in the church, as required for all C of E Churches. We ensured we had hire agreements, insurance certificates and safeguarding policies for our hall hirers.

The Quinquennial report recommended a vast range of building works, some of which have already been completed (e.g., an asbestos survey). It also recommended some more expensive works such as improving the drainage outside the church and resurfacing the car park. This is something we need to aspire to as soon as possible, as the uneven surface is a health and safety hazard. However, it will require a huge fundraising effort, including support from external funders.

The visitation report was very complementary, with recommendations to complete a mission

12

action plan, which has now been done, and a query regarding the lack of a recent faculty for the building works completed in 2019-2020, which the Archdeacon is working with us on.

The Quinquennial inspection on Oxford Way was carried out in December and submitted to the Diocesan Property Team (as required by the Diocese and Church Commissioners, who own the property), along with a commitment to maintain the property. It is currently being occupied by a priest serving at Holy Trinity Hounslow, who is paying the mortgage, fuel bills, and Council tax until 31 August 2023.

Maintenance Works

We received the final certificate and valuation for the roofing works.

We used the £8500 Diocesan funding obtained to clean the church brickwork, install ceilings in the chair store cupboard, and purchase a new floor cleaning machine.

The area outside the prayer window, which was reseeded with grass seed the previous year, has grown really well, and the trees have been trimmed. The annual gas safety and fire extinguisher checks were carried out, gutters cleaned, fire action notices displayed, a fire drill completed, and welcomers trained in fire safety. Smoke alarms have been checked.

Thanks to Beryl and John Wittin for all the work they do on maintaining the church and Oxford Way grounds, and to Natasa Pedic for all her hard work keeping the building clean, and to Jenny Bird for covering this role when Natasa has been on holiday. Thanks to Mike Coombes for organising the repair of the back toilet sliding door, and a crack in the toilet, in December.

Thanks to Paul Hughes for organising the repair to the water heater in the Preschool cupboard, by Hall & Randall, in January, for the oven to be cleaned, PAT testing to be carried out and the piano tuned, as well as for new church signage and a new Preschool sign board to be erected (with accompanying Diocesan permission). Thanks too for organising an asbestos survey (required by the Quinquennial inspection) and organising the Chubb alarm annual maintenance. And for clarifying that we do not need to have a lightning conductor on the spire (queried in the Quinquennial inspection).

Thanks to Wendy Rayner for organising regular window cleaning and dealing with many day-today maintenance and admin issues, in addition to her Children’s Worker role.

Thanks to all those who serve on rotas, and thus enable our church groups and activities to run smoothly. And if you have any spare time which you could offer to help out, do let us know.

Thanks to Julie Adams for her time as Churchwarden, as she steps down, and to Debs for all her support.

Emma Hughes, Churchwarden

Children’s Worker report

The Explorers group for children aged 7 – 10 was able to meet in the vicarage garden and enjoyed crafts and games and stories. At the end of the summer term Ray Rosario left our team and we thank him for all his work with the Explorers over many years. In September we were very pleased to welcome Margaret James to our team. I would also like to thank Vanessa Hughes for all the work and commitment to Explorers over many years as she continues to be an integral part of the team. The group has been able to run through the Winter and Spring term with just a small Covid break in January 2022.

During the Summer holidays we were able to offer an activity afternoon for school aged children, a pizza party for the Youth and a preschool picnic.

In September 2021 we launched the new Adventurers group for children aged 11+. The group is a youth club format where we endeavour to provide a safe space for our young people. The group is run by myself, Ann Hedges and Hannah Mitchell.

At the beginning of the new school year, we were able to start in-person assemblies at St Richards School and have welcomed them into our building weekly on a Wednesday. We restarted Bible Club with its new name ‘Explorers lunchtime’. We have recently welcomed Claudia and Nisha from CLG to the lunch team. We made Christingles with all the St Richard’s School children and enjoyed a lovely Christmas Christingle assembly in church led by Year 6. We were also happy to welcome the Beavers from Hanworth District for their Christingle service in church.

It was lovely to visit St Richard’s preschool during Advent to make Christingles and share the Christmas story.

We were able to conduct our Remembrance service at the War Memorial on Remembrance Day itself and were pleased to welcome children and staff from St Richard’s, Oriel, and Lindon Bennett Schools.

We continue to offer Sunday Clubs for or children during Sunday morning services and I would like to thank Ann Hedges, Emma Hughes, Hannah Mitchell, Rachel Vaz, Vanessa Hughes, Margaret James, Anita Pinnalawatta, Meera Thomas and Dave Rayner for their continued work to enable this ministry.

Coffee morning has been a great opportunity to engage with new families and it has been lovely to welcome these families and enable them and their children to access our children’s groups

14

and some for baptism.

I would like to thank Debs for her support and encouragement as we work together to keep our children’s ministry thriving at St Richards. I would like to thank Paul Hughes for his continued support on the tech side supporting our assemblies. I would also like to thank the parents and the church community in supporting our children to be involved and ensuring they feel included in the life of our church. Finally, I would like to thank the children for being such a pleasure to work with and who teach me something new each time I meet them.

Wendy Rayner, Children’s Worker

Being part of the St Richard’s family - A young person’s perspective.

My name is Zara Crean, I am 12 years old and this year I started at Bishop Wand Church of England Secondary School.

I really enjoy being a part of St Richard’s Church and feeling part of the church family. I like going to Explorers and now Adventurers too. I love coming to church on Sundays and joining in the activities and the groups. I come with my little sister Isabelle as well as our friends.

Working on art and craft activities is good fun and it feels more like being with my cousins than with my friends. We share common interests and I really enjoy the stories we read and the discussions we have afterwards. Also the church includes us children in the services, lets us do readings and includes us in the prayers. It never feels like we are any less part of the service than the adults and it is good that Debs and the other adults don’t get upset or angry, despite the amount of noise we sometimes make when we are worshipping or celebrating!

I have really enjoyed the opportunity to read the prayers and the readings during the services. Doing this with my dad has been a good way of bringing together my real family with my church family. I don’t feel under pressure to read and always feel loved and supported when I do. Doing this has helped my confidence and made me more comfortable in front of people too. I don’t think I could have done this anywhere else or in front anyone else. I have used this newfound confidence in my drama club and I have just been in my first show in front of a real audience, something I probably wouldn’t have even thought of this time last year.

The use of technology at church is really good, especially the Zoom services I love the virtual tea and cake sessions! Age has never been a barrier to joining services at St Richard’s and it still isn’t. I have even tried to show my nanny how to join in on Zoom and Facebook, not always easy but sometimes successful!

My faith has helped sustain me and build my resilience. When I have had difficult days or days where I have been confused or lonely or unsure of what I needed to do I have read back over the stories from church activities or watched the YouTube services.

So in 2022 we are “living with Covid” according to the Prime Minister. I have no idea what this means or how we are supposed to do it, but I’m pleased I get to do it with my family, at home and at St Richard’s.

Zara Crean, aged 12.

Groups

Monday Morning House Group

We meet to start at 10am and aim to finish by 11.30am

At present we are the same group of 8 more mature (not at all old in mind) ladies as last year. We would, welcome new members, including gentlemen. We value the support through talking and prayer that we give each other through the highs and lows of life. Anything personal discussed in the group is always kept confidential.

Our group have been meeting for many years and we decide between us what we will study etc. We finished our study on Luke after Easter last year and then started another Scripture Union series on Christian Character which we finished in November 2021. We used Zoom for many months but started meeting in person again in May last year following the Covid guidelines. We have a short prayer session each week at the end of our study time and have a catch up/prayer session every three or four weeks which we find invaluable. This gives us a chance to pray for our own concerns as well as other relevant needs at the time.

In November we started a new series on Isaiah but had a break to follow the Lent series on Mark’s gospel which although we found it difficult at times we all thought it beneficial and we each noticed new things.

Tricia Law

Monday Evening House Group

The Monday Evening House Group meets weekly from 8 to 10 pm on Monday evenings apart from during major school holidays. Sometimes when our meetings clash with PCC meetings, the non-PCC members meet for a prayer meeting without a bible study. However, our normal pattern is to have about an hour of bible study followed by an hour of sharing prayer concerns. Dave Rayner usually leads the bible studies and Elaine Whittle usually brings all the prayer concerns together into a closing prayer.

We are a mixed gender group with quite a wide age range and always welcome new members whether on a short or long-term basis. Throughout 2021 we have had seven regular members of whom two regularly worship in other local Churches.

Pre-pandemic we met in members’ homes, but since March 2020 we have met on Zoom, apart from the occasional house group meal at a restaurant. We have no plans yet to return to meeting in people’s homes as several members find the flexibility and lack of travel involved in Zoom meetings very helpful. We have a WhatsApp group for sharing prayer concerns among members, thereby providing a prayer chain. Two members of the WhatsApp group don’t attend house group meetings but are in the prayer chain.

Over 2021, we have done series on Ephesians (3 weeks), SHAPE (in Lent, 5 weeks), the Acts of the Apostles (9 weeks), Psalms, (8 weeks), and Advent Reflections on Ruth (7 weeks).

Tuesday evening ladies house group – on Zoom

Our house group has been led in the earlier part of the Church year by Julie Adams and then later by Gill Coombes. The group ceased to meet temporarily in February due to Gill’s family bereavement but the group has continued by joining the Wednesday small group meetings for Lent. During this time, we have checked in with each other on Sunday mornings when we see each other face to face. After Easter, the group will resume as usual.

The format of our group varies. We have become a close-knit group through lockdown and are comfortable to share what is going on in our lives with each other. Sometimes our meetings are just sharing, listening, and comforting those in need followed by specific prayer for each other. No-one has to share, only if you feel comfortable to. Often, relevant worship songs and Scripture verses are shared to encourage each other and those who are hurting. These are then shared on our WhatsApp group after the meeting so they can be taken into the week ahead. Between meetings, we also share prayer concerns as needs arise, and have seen answers to our prayers.

During the last year we have dipped into a bible study by Sheila Walsh called “It’s ok not to be ok” which was helpful to us all, whatever our circumstances. We followed a series on Mary, the mother of Jesus during Advent and often use the Psalms. Where there is a short, whole Church bible study, we follow that. We are a small group of 6 regulars of varying ages and life experience, but would be more than happy for any other ladies to join us. At present we are continuing on zoom as it suits most people.

Thursday Evening House Group

Nothing has changed since the last report due to the ongoing pandemic situation. At the start of Lockdown Liz and I decided that we would not go down the online meeting route as some of our members do not have access. We felt it would be unfair.

So we decided that we would keep in touch by telephone, speaking to each other every week. This, I am pleased to say, we have continued to do without fail.

Now restrictions have lifted a little bit, we still telephone each other but have also met in a smaller group in homes, or in the garden for those who can to enjoy tea, coffee, cake and a chat.

Most of our house group have also joined the Wednesday Lent course group at church which we are enjoying. We hope to resume group study very soon depending on the virus situation.

Supper Club

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the club did not meet during the first part of 2021 but helpful discussions were held with Revd. Debs Wignall, as to the way forward. The outcome of which was that it was now open to all church members and the community. Hence the renaming to Supper Club.

Meetings held: -

17

September - BBQ in the Vicarage garden.

October - Skittles and Fish & Chips. It was good and perhaps fitting to have a first lady winner of the David Mould Trophy, who was Yvonne Mansell. Revd. Debs was a close runner up!

November – Big Film Night. “Only Fools and Horses – Miami Twice”. Cinema theme food Popcorn, Hot Dogs, and Ice Cream!

December – Christmas Meal. A special thank you to our magnificent chefs Sandra Bowskill, Revd. Debs and Graham Madge for a very enjoyable meal and entertainment quiz provided by Gerry Place.

Mike Reynolds

Friends

It has been good to welcome the Friends Group back twice a month on Wednesday afternoons since September. This group is led by Joyce, Brenda and Kathleen and is attended by those who part of St Richard’s, other churches, and none. Once a month there is a service of worship with the alternate meetings involving guest speakers, quizzes, or some other activity and always a cuppa, conversation, and biscuits.

Safeguarding Report

Since the last APCM no Safeguarding concerns have been reported during this period.

We continue to review all roles which require Safeguarding training and continue the process of ensuring all those who require it have completed, renewed, or are working towards completing the training levels required for their roles.

Leadership training has been completed in the last year by Paul Hughes, Julie Adams, and John Baggs.

All PCC members have completed the Basic Safeguarding training or are covered by previous in-date training.

We continue to review and develop policies and procedures, including the Safeguarding policy. Our procedures now also include a lone working procedure and risk assessment.

18

On completion of the safeguarding audit, we have updated volunteer agreements and job descriptions for CY leaders. We have also written job descriptions for other roles within the church.

Gill and I have attended online meetings with the area Safeguarding forum and share experience, expertise, and advice.

In the autumn term we conducted our first Sunday Service dedicated to Safeguarding. During this service we shared our commitment to making church a safer space for all with the congregation. Following this the children took part in age-appropriate discussion and activities around safeguarding.

We continue to communicate our commitment to safer churches for all those who attend our groups, our services, and our community.

Wendy Rayner and Gill Coombes, Church Safeguarding Officers.

It links patients to community-based activities, rather than simply prescribing them medicine. Link Workers in London Borough of Richmond www.ruils.co.uk

Vicar’s Report

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Those verses from Proverbs Chapter 3, our verses for the year 2021, proved to be a good anchor for us throughout what in many ways continued to be a time of uncertainty. 2021 began with a further Lockdown and as I look back through the ‘Hello,’ letters that I wrote to you all during those first couple of months, it is good to be reminded of the creativity, and the different ways in which so many of you connected with each other, with church, with God. The challenges were and are real, but so is the hope.

The PCC continued to meet monthly on zoom, and I am very thankful for their commitment when it seemed that most weeks we had new regulations to interpret in order make the best decisions we could to care for each other and enable the life and ministry of our church in this community to continue. Dave and his team worked hard to keep us up to date on our financial situation and you will see from his report that there is much to give thanks for.

Behind the scenes, Paul and Wendy as has been mentioned elsewhere enabled so much to happen, and have been a great personal support to me. Wendy alongside Gill in their role as Parish Safeguarding Officers have worked well to review, update and continue to review and update our safeguarding practices. It was good to have Safeguarding Sunday as a focus for our worship in the autumn. We want to honour and care for all that God has given us, and most of all that is for each other.

I am thankful too for our church wardens, the wise wardens as described on our WhatsApp group, Emma, and Julie. Julie stands down as warden at this APCM and we can all be thankful for all that she has done during a time of considerable change at St Richard’s. Thank you to all of you.

Throughout 2021 we continued to experiment with different patterns for services and events, online, on site, outside, inside, zoom, social media, emails. Seeking to be mindful of our community, to include all ages, and stages of faith.

We partnered with others for example with Activate Church, CLG and Schools to support a pop-up food bank. We built relationship with the school community, including a ‘podcast’ reflection for the school staff. In April 2021 I was involved in recruiting the new headteacher

for St Richard’s and what a blessing Jodie Stillwell has already been for the school in her first year as Headteacher. Since September we have welcomed the whole school for Collective Worship each week.

Kristy Bartlett has continued to lead the team at our Pre-school through a challenging year, you may remember that pre-school settings were open even before the schools and Kristy’s positive leadership style has seen the team and the pre-school flourish against the odds. I am thankful to Debi Lagor and David Baggs for their support on the committee.

21

We all know how difficult the pandemic has been for children and young people. At St Richard’s we have intentionally sought to create opportunities for our children and young people to gather together and build relationships with each other, with the church and we trust with Jesus. Zara’s reflection in this report is an encouraging read as she makes the links between school, family, church, and faith in Jesus. Whole-life discipleship.

Tuesday evening Explorers began again on site in the Spring with the vicarage garden as the venue. Wendy had done an amazing job of staying in touch with this group through weekly zoom and so in the summer we were able to plan for not one but two groups on Tuesdays, with the launch of Adventurers in September. Lunchtime Explorers launched in September in the Primary School, an opportunity each week for the children to get to know us better, for us them and we trust that they will also come to know Jesus.

Another feature of 2021 has been making the most of our outdoor space. In the summer when we had ‘Garden Church,’ in the vicarage garden which we are looking forward to repeating this summer. We had worship in the ‘Prayer Garden,’ too.

Beryl and John continued to look after our outside space for which we continue to be thankful. Andy Bowskill used his skills to upcycle some wood into a cross for Holy Week and a Nativity scene for Christmas. Andy and James prepared the ground outside the prayer window where we had also sown fresh grass seed and we were blessed by an abundant wildflower display throughout the summer months. 2021 also saw the launch of our Eco Team. I was especially delighted for the enthusiastic inspiration of the younger members of that team, Hannah, Martha, and Jasmine. It’s early days for this team, but I hope this model of intergenerational working together and worshipping together becomes even more the DNA of St Richard’s.

Coffee morning relaunched in September, and we made the decision to have a coffee drop in for all. So those with young children could find a cuppa and some toys and those without could find a cuppa too! And did I mention cake? Every week Jackie bakes for Coffee Morning and once a month we have bacon rolls too. It has been such a joy to welcome new friends, to see old relationships rekindled and wonderful to welcome families from coffee morning for baptism too. I am very thankful to Wendy, Jackie and Vanessa who are on team each week. Do let us know if you would like to join the team, even once a month. We continue to be thankful for our building, which is so welcoming and so suited to these events. We hope to build on this during 2022, perhaps to extend the time to include lunch, perhaps to have other events like clothes-swaps, toy-swaps, craft fairs, food bank, access to advice.

I want to mention the small group leaders too, House groups, Friends, Supper Club, all of which have been so important in connecting and re-connecting each other. Midweek Communion now every two weeks has become established as an oasis in the week and I am especially thankful to Brenda and John for their support in enabling that to happen.

22

As I am writing this report, I realise that there is so much that I want to say, because through the challenges 2021 has been a good year for our church, and in the start of 2022 we are already seeing some of those new shoots growing. This also included the first wedding here for nine years! What a joy that was and the church looked beautiful.

At the end of 2021 those involved in leadership of the church gathered to share vision, and this then fed into our Sunday worship in January and a new

Mission Action Plan, (MAP), which is included as an Appendix for those of you who would like to see it. It is a working document, rather than a checklist and will evolve throughout 2022 and be revised later in the year. Out of this time of praying and talking together we also discerned our verses for the year, that to most of you will be very familiar by now, from Romans Chapter 15, verse 13:

We pray that God, the source of hope, will fill us completely with joy and peace because we trust in him. Then we will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen

I am so thankful for each one of you, for the privilege it is to lead this church at this time, as each of us plays our part to fulfil our mission here,

Rooted in God’s love, our prayer is that together we are Growing Deeper in our love for and relationship with God, Growing Closer together in our relationships with each other and Growing Wider in number as we engage more with the communities God has placed us in.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021

  1. Accounting Policies:

  2. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 using the Receipts and Payments basis.

  3. Unrestricted 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 purpose of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.

  4. Restricted funds represent donations or grants received for a specific purpose. These funds may only be expended on the specific purpose for which they were given. The nature of particular funds is disclosed in more detail in Note 12 to the financial statements.

  5. Fixed Assets - All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure. Individual items of equipment are written off to the receipts and payments account when the asset is acquired.

  6. Receipts: Although a gift aid claim has been made for Q4 (Oct-Dec) for donations eligible for gift aid not made through the Parish Giving Scheme, the payment from HMRC was received in January 2022 and hence is not included in these accounts.

  7. As in 2020, donations and appeals income has been included in Sundry donations.

  8. As in 2020, PCC associated funds expenditure has been shown under Church activities expenditure.

  9. Fixed assets are not depreciated under receipts and payments accounting.

  10. Short term deposits reflect money held on deposit with the Central Board of Finance of the Church of England.

  11. The only amount shown in Other Creditors is money held on behalf of Kick London, what is left of a grant received on behalf of Kick London from Welcare Hounslow.

5

  1. The Project Grow Loans are from three sources all restricted for use for Project Grow: £100k from Church members advanced on an interest free basis, of which £2,000 has been repaid; £10k from the Kensington Area of the diocese, again interest free, of which £2,000 has been repaid; and what was originally £70k from CAF at 6% interest – this has now been completely paid off. Each loan is subject to a loan agreement. The diocese loan is to be repaid at £2,000 per year over 5 years. The £100k loans from Church members are all to be repaid by 2024.

  2. In addition, we received a further interest-free loan of £2,400 to pay for the pre-school awning. This loan was applied to the General Fund. This was fully repaid by the end of 2021.

Parochial Church Council of St. Richard of Chichester, Hanworth

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021

Unrestricted Funds

General Fund

The general fund represents funds for the general use of the PCC. It reflects all the funds available to the PCC, other than those designated for another purpose by the PCC or restricted by donors.

Traditionally the PCC has kept a cash balance sufficient to cover expenses for 3 months to cope with a drop in the level of giving or some unforeseen expenditure.

Roger Casson Legacy Fund

The Roger Casson legacy fund was set up to hold the legacy from the estate of the late Roger Casson. The PCC would like to use these funds to both commemorate the life of Roger and also support the future work of the church. During 2020, the PCC decided to spend some of the remaining funds on exterior lighting, the remaining half of which has been paid for in 2021.

Holiday Club

Holiday club is one of the core mission activities of the church. Hence, in 2017, Holiday Club income and expenditure was transferred to the General Fund. This fund was unused in 2021 because of only a limited Holiday Club was possible because of COVID restrictions.

PCC Associated Funds (Church Groups funds)

Following discussion, the PCC felt that the income and funds held by the various groups of St Richards Church are by nature designated, rather than restricted, as the groups are part of the core mission of the church. Hence the funds of active groups were transferred from restricted funds to designated funds in 2017. All of these groups have now decided to transfer some or all of their fund balances to the General Fund. Designated funds are maintained to account for the small agreed floats maintained by most of the groups.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021

Restricted Funds

Project Grow Fund

The Project Grow fund represents funds that have been donated to provide for the church building project. Income now comes from free-will offerings specifically for Project Grow, plus small fund-raising activities. There has been some expenditure in 2021 to cover the final costs of the main building works, but mostly it is now used to pay off the loans. For this purpose it is now topped up as necessary from the General Fund.

Children and Family Outreach Fund

The Children and Family Outreach fund represents the restricted grant that contributed to the costs of the children and family outreach work. The grant received from the Hampton Fund was used to offset the salary costs.

35 Oxford Way Repairs Fund

The 35 Oxford Way Repairs fund was set up to hold non-missionary rental income from 35 Oxford Way. It is required that this money is set aside to cover the repair costs of the property. During 2021, there were only small repair costs charged to this fund. Note that from August 2021, the property has been rented by a diocese approved missionary person and hence their rent has gone into the General Fund to defray upkeep costs met from the General Fund.

Flowers Fund

The Flowers fund represents church member's donations given to cover the costs of flowers for special services; mostly, Easter, Harvest and Christmas. The fund is topped up as necessary from the General Fund.

Associated Functions Fund

The associated functions fund represented monies raised and expended for community projects affiliated to the church. During 2018, a donation of £300 was given specifically to buy equipment for the older young people’s group at the time. In 2021, it was agreed with the donor that this could be used for equipment for the Explorers and Adventurers groups.

Special Charity Donations

The Special Charity Donations fund represents monies raised by the church to support various charities. Donations made during the year are shown in note 2 to the accounts. In 2021, funds were raised for Sheepfold, Tear Fund and the Children’s Society. These have been input to this Special Charity account for transparency, before then being paid to the charity.
