## **The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Mary Kippington** ## **Sevenoaks** **Registered Charity No. 1130183** ## **Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2023** **Team Rector:** Mark Bridgen The Vicarage Kippington Road Sevenoaks Kent Bankers: NatWest Bank plc Santander plc High Street Bootle Sevenoaks Liverpool Independent Examiner: Philip K Wood MA (Oxon) FCA, MCT www.stmaryssevenoaks.org Version 1.0 18 March 2024 Page 1 of 20 ## **PCC Trustees’ Annual Report** St Mary Kippington is part of the benefice of the West Sevenoaks Team Ministry, together with St Mary The Virgin, Riverhead with Dunton Green and St Luke’s, Sevenoaks. ## **Aims and Purposes.** The Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Mary Kippington has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Mark Bridgen, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also responsible for the maintenance of the Church complex of the Kippington Centre. ## **Objectives and Activities.** The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at the church of St Mary Kippington and to become part of that parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship and makes suggestions on how services can involve as many people who live within the parish as possible. The services and worship of St Mary Kippington seek to put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. In particular, the PCC tries to enable people to live out their faith as part of the parish community through: • Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. • Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. • Missionary and outreach work. To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Church of St. Mary Kippington and the Kippington Centre. ## **Achievements and Performance.** ## **1. Worship, Fellowship and Prayer** The PCC is committed to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that the community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. St Mary Kippington upholds the Anglican ethos of worship that offers a broad spectrum of worship, which encompasses the Book of Common Prayer, Common Worship and Fresh Expressions. The regular pattern of 8am and 10:30am service times on Sundays has been maintained on a consistent basis, along with a mid-week service on a Thursday and occasionally an evening act of worship. Family Services continue to be run from the Kippington Centre for most of the year, with the occasional service taking place at Church. Worship has continued to take place commemorating key events in the liturgical calendar, being Harvest, Remembrance, Advent, Christmas, Lent and Holy Week and Easter. During the year numbers attending for these key service times were as follows (previous year in brackets). Good Friday and Easter Sunday 168 (175); Harvest Sunday 62 (87); Remembrance Sunday 68 (77); Advent Sunday 52 (71); and Christmas Eve and Day 434 (469). As of the Annual Parochial Church Meeting of 2023, there were 133 parishioners on the Church Electoral Roll, 42.9% of whom are resident in the Parish and 57.1% of whom are non-resident. During the year the following number of occasional offices were performed: six baptisms, four weddings, four interment of ashes, four funerals at church and four funerals at one of the local crematoria. Due to the long term effects of the Covid pandemic and many in the congregation only slowly returning back to the rhythms of worship, the Church of England have not yet asked for Average Weekly Attendance figures. Page 2 of 20 Study courses undertaken were as follows – Advent and Lent Study times; Yorke courses; Pit Stop – philosophical and ethical course. Team services have taken place celebrating the midweek festivals of the church: Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday and Ascension Day. Our Sunday Club has met weekly and special craft events laid on. The Youth Club has now restarted, taking place bi-monthly, with a new set of leaders. ## **2. Kippington Centre** Over the year the Centre has returned to full operating capacity, serving both the church and community. While weekends continue to see a marked increase in usage, outside midweek groups have fluctuated. The Centre Manager is Karen Bridgen. ## **3. Pastoral Care** The Pastoral and Mission Committee have continued to care for those termed vulnerable within the church and assigned individuals from that committee to keep in touch. Monthly services to Kippington Nursing Home take place. ## **4. Mission and Evangelism** Total giving of £21,060.81 included grants of £13,970 made by the Charities Committee, following PCC approval, to a broad range of local, national and international charities. Solefields School continue to celebrate their Christmas service at the church and the Vicar now preaches occasionally at Evensong at New Beacon School. Harvest social, Christmas Fair, events marking the Coronation and monthly ‘Coffee and Cake’ fellowship events have taken place. ## **5. Ecumenical Relationships** Churches Together in Sevenoaks and District organise very occasional ecumenical services. The church participated in the annual ‘Ride and Stride’. The PCC were issued with a faculty enabling the Orthodox (Ukrainian) Mass (Holy Communion) to be celebrated at St Mary Kippington every month (Saturday). ## **6. Volunteers** We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular thanks are expressed to churchwardens Brenda Ross and John Worth for their service to the life of the church. ## **Financial Review.** ## **1. Overview** Total reserves and net assets have risen by £49,029 compared with 2022. This is largely due to a most generous legacy of £50,000, without which they would have fallen by £971. The General Fund increased by £234. The main movements are set out below. Voluntary income from giving (including Gift Aid) increased by £5,884 to £106,160. Of this increase, £4,447 was due to increases in planned giving following the Generous Giving campaign in the summer. Interest income increased by £4,916 to £5,702 largely due to higher interest rates. Investment losses of £1,338 were £2,020 lower than 2022. Offsetting these improvements were a lower contribution from the Parish Centre (£4,258), the absence of grants which in 2022 amounted to £3,712, higher church running costs (£3,209) reflecting higher utility rates and a higher diocesan offer which increased by £2,046 to £64,124. Although there was a reduction in lettings income following the loss of one of the Centre’s largest hirers, the main driver of the lower Centre contribution was higher utility costs. Page 3 of 20 Designated funds increased by £46,667. The largest movements were the legacy of £50,000 referred to above and an additional £4,000 set aside for repairs. These were offset by £7,400 of depreciation on the Parish Centre. The PCC are in the process of identifying projects for which this legacy can be put to good use. Restricted funds increased by £2,128. Main sources of restricted income were the Christmas fair, plant sales and the annual Friends of Kent Churches Bike Ride together with interest income. Restricted funds were used for a new electric organ for the Centre, covered by specific donations, and on the remaining costs associated with the introduction of streaming for services in the Church. Thanks are once again due to Zoë Anderson, Planned Giving Administrator, who has ably managed the Planned Giving Scheme and who has continued to make monthly claims on HMRC for Gift Aid in a timely manner. ## **2. Charitable Giving** When planning activities for the year, the PCC have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. Charitable Giving is set out in Note 15 to the Accounts. Giving included within our accounts was £18,329 (2022: £16,180). The PCC’s tithing commitment in 2021 was slightly higher at £13,970 (2022: £13,600) due to higher income. Our accounts do not include agency collections for third parties. If these are added our total giving amounted to £21,061 (2022: £17,641). ## **3. Reserves Policy** The PCC, advised by the Finance Committee, considers its reserves policy annually. Where a sum has been set aside for a designated purpose, the PCC aims to hold enough in that reserve to meet the specific policy intention; so, for example, a sum set aside for a major repair or renewal should either be sufficient to fund that repair/renewal or should be complemented by a fundraising intention and plan. Informed by recent experience we consider that unrestricted reserves, complemented by any restricted reserves available for that purpose, should be at least sufficient to cover essential running costs for 9-12 months, after assuming that regular sources of income reduce significantly. ## **4. Prospects for 2024** The 2024 Budget, approved by the PCC in December 2023, shows an overall deficit of £5,785 which includes depreciation of £7,400 (i.e. a surplus of £1,615 excluding depreciation). This, however, does not take account of costs associated with the interregnum, for example: - The need for a new Centre Manager which has until now been an unpaid role, but which is likely to require the payment of an honorarium in future. - Costs of clergy standing-in to conduct more services than previously. - Utility costs for the Vicarage. During an interregnum we are able to retain the element of wedding and funeral fees into a ‘sequestration fund’, which will help to fund the clergy and utility costs. The Centre Manager honorarium, however, is likely to be an ongoing cost. For 2024 and beyond, the PCC has agreed a new method of determining the amount to be made available for charitable giving each year, replacing the current 10% of budgeted unrestricted income. In future, the Finance Committee will recommend to the PCC in November, based on the latest forecast of unrestricted surplus / deficit for the full year, what percentage of the year’s budgeted unrestricted income should be made available. This could be 10% as in previous years, but could be more or less depending upon the likely full-year outcome. For planning purposes the figure of 10% will continue to be used, and it is this figure which has been used in the 2024 Budget. Page 4 of 20 ## **Structure, Governance and Management.** The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. At St. Mary Kippington the membership of the PCC consists of the incumbent, churchwardens, coopted members being the local lay minister (LLM: Joan Taylor, now deceased), deanery synod representatives and members elected by those from the congregation on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. The full PCC met six times during the year with an average level of attendance of 90%. Given its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of committees each dealing with a particular aspect of parish life. These committees, which are outlined below, are all responsible to the PCC. Standing Committee: This is the only committee required by law. It has power to transact the business of the PCC between its meetings, subject to any directions given by the Council. Members of this committee are the Vicar, the Churchwardens, PCC Secretary and PCC Treasurer and one other PCC nominated member. Fabric Committee: Considers all matters relating to the care and maintenance of church buildings and advises the PCC on necessary repairs, obtaining estimates as appropriate. Finance Committee: This oversees the general financial dimension of the work of St Mary’s by monitoring income and expenditure, budgeting, reviewing the annual report and financial statements and maintaining appropriate financial controls. Charities Committee: Promotes the work of charities and mission agencies in the Parish and recommends donations to registered charities, according to the policies set by the PCC. More information on charitable donations is set out within the Accounts and in the Charitable Giving paragraphs, below. Pastoral and Ministry: This group meets three times a year to help the Church realise its vision as a bridge between God and the community. The Chair is the Vicar. Its minutes are sent to the PCC. ## **The Benefice of the West Sevenoaks Team Ministry.** The Joint Council of the benefice continues not to meet due to the difficulties and challenges arising from the situation at St Mary the Virgin, Riverhead with Dunton Green. Senior staff are currently exploring a way forward. ## **Administrative information.** St. Mary Kippington is situated on Kippington Road, Sevenoaks. It is part of the Diocese of Rochester within the Church of England. The correspondence address is The Church Office, Kippington Centre, Kippington Road, Sevenoaks.
