## **Electoral Roll revision 2022** The total reported to the APCM in 2021 was 135; one person joined immediately after the meeting. At the revision in March/April 2022 4 names were removed (two people were deceased and two moved away) and 8 names added, so the revised total is 140. Of those, 71 live in the Parish of Acton, 69 live outside the parish. Lorna Dodd Electoral Roll Officer ## **Annual report for the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Acton (St Mary’s and All Saints)** ## **Year ending 31[st] December 2021** ## **Aims and Purpose** Acton Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent (until 6[th] December 2021 the Revd Nick Jones), in promoting the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church (pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical). The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of St Mary’s Church, St Mary’s Church Hall, All Saints Church Centre and 1A St Dunstan’s Avenue, Acton. ## **Objectives and Activities** The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our churches and to become part of our parish community at St Mary’s and, when we are able to reopen it, All Saints. The PCC maintains an overview of worship, makes suggestions about how services can involve people and is consulted on any planned special services or changes to our regular pattern of worship. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit especially the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: - worship and prayer, learning about the gospel and developing their relationship with Christ - provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish, including visiting housebound parishioners, those in hospital and visits to nursing homes within the parish - mission and outreach work, including support of the Ealing Foodbank, for which we are a collection point and, when it is running, the Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter. The hall at St Mary’s is also let regularly to community groups, and the hall space at All Saints is currently let to a private nursery and Christian worship group. ## **Achievements and Performance** From early 2020, the Covid pandemic has severely impacted both our worship and the community life of the parish, as well as the personal lives of members of our congregation. ## _Worship and Discipleship_ Worship in the early part of 2021 was held in church when possible, with other services online (via Facebook and Zoom) and fully resumed in St Mary’s building at Easter. The usual pattern of worship in the building is 8am Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion and 10.30 Sung Eucharist on Sundays, and 11am said service of Holy Communion on Thursdays. It was not possible to reopen All Saints for worship during the year. Covid measures have continued at services at St Mary’s including the encouraging of mask wearing, communion being given in one kind, alternate pews being unavailable for seating and the availability of hand sanitizers. Morning prayer has continued during the year, Tuesday – Thursday on Zoom and there is a short daily prayer service on Facebook Monday – Wednesday. Lent groups were held jointly with St Martin’s, West Acton on Zoom and were a good opportunity to study together and learn from each other. A well-attended farewell service for the Rector, the Revd Nick Jones, was held on 28[th] November ahead of his retirement on 6[th] December 2021. We continue to look at ways of working more closely with other churches in Acton. ## _Electoral roll and attendance_ Our 2021 electoral roll current numbers are 136, with 70 residents in the parish and 66 living outside the parish. Attendance remains below pre-pandemic levels with an average of 37 adults and 5 children, although numbers have varied considerable between services. It was not possible to restart the junior church during the year, partly due to the restrictions in place, but it is hoped this will restart in 2022. ## _Occasional offices_ There were 9 baptisms conducted during the year and two adults were confirmed by the Rt Revd John Went at St Mary’s on 10[th] October 2021. 8 funerals were conducted during the year, including that of Margaret Heighton, a longstanding member of the congregation. There was a wedding during the year and banns continue to be called for couples resident in the parish and marrying elsewhere. ## **Deanery Synod report** There were four meetings of the synod in 2021 all on Zoom, all four were attended by at least one of our representatives. ## **Fabric report** 2021 was again a challenging year, hampered by the restrictions, leading to slower than anticipated progress in addressing some issues around the fabric of our buildings. Despite these difficulties the life of the church went on. Thanks to all who provided support in opening and the worship at St Mary’s. All Saints remained closed to worship by the parish of Acton congregation. Works carried out within the church: - Leaks in the _roof_ in the front porch, vestry and near areas were partially repaired, and the water ingress at the right hand side of church was attended to and the brickwork is drying out. - Ealing Council continued to maintain the _graveyard and St Mary’s Burial Ground_ - _The boilers and heating_ system required some maintenance and repair and are now running well. - There was a minor rodent infestation in the church which is being managed and appears clear at the moment - All annual servicing and the 5 yearly electrical safety test work were carried out at All Saints - The churchyard wall and the fire escape continues to be an ongoing issue, which is being managed by our consultant building surveyor, Bob Wilson.  Future actions include: Revision of the following policies: Health and Safety Policy Fire Risk Assessment. Fire extinguishers serviced at SM, AS and Rectory. Fire alarm at St. Mary’s serviced each 6 months one fault found and rectified. Asbestos Survey and Management Plan The Quinquennial inspection updated works Lightning Conductors serviced, repaired and passed. Electrical Inspection: not due till 2023 5 yearly testing. Gas Inspections of boilers and cooker hob all serviced and passed. Memorial Safety Check Disability Access Audit ## **Finance report** Income for the year was £179.4k, which was £30.4k (20%) above Budget. Compared to Budget, donations were up by £3.3k, mini miners which refers the All-Saints site was up by £2.8k. Telecom mast by £1k and office rent was up by £35.9k. We had not budgeted for any office rent as it was uncertain at the time the Budget was prepared. The most significant shortfalls were in giving. Covid continued to have a major effect, as the church was closed for a period so less cash donations were made. This trend continued when we reopened, and more donations are now made via the Sum Up machine. In the year we had monthly donations , via the Parish Giving Scheme of £1069.67 and standing order of £295.00 St Mary’s Church Hall letting are down by £10.6k and COCIN for All Saints is by down £3.5k. The church Hall lettings included lettings that were outstanding from 2020. The amount received for the Job Retention Scheme for the year to date was £2,889. Expenditure amounted to £167.2k which was just £520 under budget. Savings were made on Hall running costs £5.4k and from the church not being open, including a saving of £1.1k on music and £3.5K saving on utility bills with the shared access contribution. Large overspends were on Church repairs and maintenance of £10.5k and domestic purchases of £1.4k. The overspend on the church repairs was the work on the wall for the water ingress, and this came out of the Building Fund. The net surplus for the year was £12.2k compared to the budgeted deficit of £18.8k, a positive variance of £31k. The general fund stood at £39,001 on 31 December 2021 ## **St Mary’s Church hall** It was not possible for the church hall to be let or used for part of the year due to restrictions in place. Once these were lifted the hall was let to a number of local groups and was also used as a vaccination centre for part of the year. Rental income has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels. We continue to offer charities and community groups reduced rates for use. ## **All Saints Church Centre** It has not been possible to resume worship at All Saints but the building has been let to a nursery during the year. ## **Pastoral care** Members of the church community, who are unable to attend church either because they are unwell or have become housebound, are visited and taken Holy Communion on a regular basis. We also remember them in prayer each Sunday. Nursing homes in the parish have been visited by clergy when allowed by the restrictions affecting the homes. Members of the church community in hospital have also been visited. A weekly mailing is emailed to all those on the church mailing list and clergy are always willing to meet or have a phone or video call with any congregation members over pastoral matters. ## **Mission, Evangelism and Outreach** There is a strong commitment by the clergy and PCC for St Mary’s and All Saints to be open and welcoming communities for everyone in the parish and for those outside the parish who wish to attend our services and activities. The Rector was and the Associate Rector is on the governing bodies of local schools and visit regularly to take assemblies when that is possible. The Rector was a governor at Derwentwater Primary School and Ark Acton Academy, and the Associate Rector is a governor at Berrymede Infants School. The Rector was a trustee of Acton Charities which give grants primarily for the relief of need in respect of Acton residents and for small educational grants. The annual civic service did not take place in 2021 due to the pandemic but will resume in 2022. The Associate Rector took part in the planning and delivery of the Ealing Borough Holocaust Memorial Day event and the Remembrance Sunday event. St Mary’s continues to be a drop off point for Ealing Foodbank and to support other local charities including Acton Homeless Concern. Our parish magazine, The Acorn, is produced on a monthly basis and emailed out as part of the parish mailing. It keeps parishioners informed of important matters affecting our churches and has articles that help develop our faith. The parish’s website, Facebook page and A Church Near You page are regularly updated. ## **Safeguarding** The PCC regard both churches being safe places for all as of the utmost importance. The PCC reviews its safeguarding policy annually and has adopted the House of Bishops’ “Promoting a Safer Church: Safeguarding Policy Statement”. The PCC has also appointed a Parish Safeguarding Officer and safeguarding is a standing item on the PCC agenda. ## **Structure, governance and management** The PCC is a corporate charity and part of the Church of England. The governing documents are the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended and the Church Representation Rules. The PCC is a registered charity. The process for the appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. Elected members are appointed for 3 years. The membership of the PCC consists of the Rector, the Associate Rector, the Curate, the churchwardens, Deanery synod members, up to 12 elected members and co-opted members. Elected members are elected by those on the electoral roll, and all those who attend services on a regular basis are encouraged to join the electoral roll and to stand for election. PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the parish including decisions and the expenditure of PCC funds. The PCC met 4 times in 2021, all via Zoom. The Rector called a special meeting in September to announce his retirement on 6[th] December 2021. The Standing Committee mainly made decisions by email during the year. The Standing Committee consists of the Rector, the Associate Rector, the Curate, the Churchwardens and the Treasurer. The Finance Group met four times during the year by zoom to review the accounts and parish giving and to make recommendations about financial matters to the PCC. ## **Administrative information** Name: Parish of Acton (known as St Mary’s and All Saints) Address: The Mount, Acton, London W3 9NW Telephone: 020 8993 0422 Email. stmary.acton@outlook.com Website: www.stmaryacton.org.uk Facebook www.facebook.com/stmaryacton Registered charity no. 1130252 Bankers: Barclays Bank, Wembley & Park Royal Branch sort code 20-92-60 account no. 30116521 Independent Examiner: Mr Franklin Atile, FMA Accountants ## **PCC members** The Revd Nick Jones, Rector – to 6[th] December 2021 The Revd Dean Ayres, Associate Rector The Revd Mary Spredbury, Curate Yvonne Kisiedu, churchwarden Lara Hills, churchwarden & Deanery synod representative Gerbrand Alkema three years standing down?
