Annual Report 2021
Report of the activities of Christchurch PCC
as presented at the
Annual parochial Church Meeting
15[th] May 2022
The PCC (Parochial Church Council) has the responsibility with the Vicar / Churchwardens in promoting in the parish of Christchurch, Bushmead the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic and social. Each year the PCC is required to produce an Annual Report which gives details of the activities of Christchurch throughout the year.
We are required to include certain elements but have also tried to give an overview of other activities, especially those that are new or where there has been significant development.

Vicar’s Report.
2021 was another interesting year for us at Christchurch. After the first Sunday of the new year where we gathered, we were then placed into a further lockdown, and we were back to streaming from my study! The church adapted well, and we managed as we brought back Zoom Coffee for a time. We reopened on Palm Sunday and were able to celebrate Easter together which we had missed in 2020. As restrictions continued to ease, we were able to open up more and start to look at restarting some of our activities and welcoming people back into the building.
My thanks go to all of you as we adapted (sometimes at very short notice!) to the everchanging restrictions and we managed to get through by supporting one another as best as we could. It was a privilege to be leading the church and seeing how everyone got involved and responded to the needs of those around them.
During Lent, we ran the Remember When course on Zoom which encouraged us to think about our own Christian journey and to share stories with one another. The encouragement was that people shared their experiences with one another and the idea is to give us all confidence to share our stories with our families and friends.
In July, Amanda and I welcomed Hannah and as you know by now, it was a difficult labour and then Hannah was readmitted for a few days due to jaundice and weight loss. Just as we were settling down, we found out she had cystic fibrosis. I had to take extra time off work which wasn’t planned and again, my thanks go to all who stepped up in that time and made sure that the activities of the church carried on.
Over the course of the year, we have continued to develop our relationship with the local community. I have been able to do more as a Hub Trustee and we are starting to work more closely with the Hub and this can only be a good thing! Towards the end of the year, I was able to enquire about becoming a Governor at Bushmead Primary School with the portfolio of wellbeing. Again, this will help us to develop our links with the school.
As a PCC, we changed how we worked. Rather than the whole PCC meeting monthly, we switched to meeting every other month and setting up sub-committees of the PCC to carry out the work. The sub-committees are the standing committee (which is a body we are required to have under the Church Representation Rules) and they conduct the business of the PCC between meetings. We also set up a mission committee and finance committee. Lastly, there was going to be a Health & Safety committee, but for various reasons, we were unable to get this up and running – this will be followed through in 2022.
My thanks also go to Steve Brooks and Dean Toney who were an incredible support in the lockdown ensuring the church kept going and they both supported the family as we adjusted to life with Hannah. Thank you too to Lesley Dumigan whose role changed last year to become the Vicar’s PA. She works incredibly hard in the office and often without a lot of thanks as a large proportion of the work is behind the scenes. Quite simply, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without her support, so thank you!
As we begin 2022, we will be revisiting the vision and hopefully completing it this time! I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for us!
The Rev’d Tim Madeley.

Church Warden Report.
2021 continued to be a Covid disrupted year. In many respects it was a “stop-start” kind of year. We started the year in lock down which meant that our services were again delivered remotely. A lot of work and effort went into this behind the scenes including the service leading, delivering of the sermon sung worship and children’s work. The church also again started delivering Morning Prayer remotely - something that had proved to be very popular and encouraging during 2020.
Thank you to everyone who contributed towards these services during 2020 and especially to Josh Halsey whose hard work and IT technical skills were invaluable during these difficult times.
During the year as restrictions began to ease again, we once again began to meet as a worshipping community within the church building. However, things were not back to normal. There were lots of Covid restrictions in place in order to protect and support one-another. This included the wearing of face coverings and spacing the seats apart. A lot of work in preparing the church and cleaning the church took place during this time and many thanks must go to Steve Brooks Christchurch’s caretaker for all his work during this time.
Whilst there was a lifting of some of these regulations during the year as we headed towards Christmas and winter Covid infections began to increase within Luton and the country. This meant that some of the Covid restrictions once again began to be put back in place. Whilst we were able to put on our Christmas services the numbers attending were down significantly this year.
Thank you to the worshipping community of Christchurch who have had to adapt to the many changes in regulation that took place this year. Thank you for everyone's patience and understanding.
A big thank you must also go to Lesley Dumigan, the Vicar’s P.A, for all the work that she has done behind the scenes at Christchurch during 2021. Whilst the year may have been disruptive to the worshipping community of Christchurch it has also been a difficult and challenging time for Lesley and our staff team also.
A special thanks must go to her for the beautiful window displays that have been put together this year. The Easter ‘Last Supper Table’ and the Remembrance Day window were very spectacular. Thank you to Lesley and to all those who help contribute to the designing and preparation of these windows.
As we draw 2021 to a close there remains much uncertainty in what lays ahead of us in 2022. One thing is for sure that Our Lord Jesus is still with us. He has supported and led us during these difficult times. We have also been blessed during these times.
In many respects 2020 and 2021 have been a time of waiting upon the Lord and slowing down. It has also been a time where we take stock of what Our Lord is asking us to do and who he wants us to be. Before Covid as a church community we were seeking a fresh vision from the Lord and perhaps this time of waiting and disruption has helped us to wait upon him more. It is our hope that we can begin our vision process again during 2022.

Safeguarding Report.
As PSO I present a report to every PCC meeting. Rev Tim and I work together to ensure that the needs of Vulnerable Adults are met and that Our Children are kept as safe as possible within the scope of church life. This year I have continued to apply for DBS Clearance for Volunteers as our activities recommence.
We adhere to the Safer Recruiting Practice Guidelines and so all volunteers, whatever role, will meet with Tim before starting and complete a Registration Form.
Almost all roles require Safeguarding Training, I will send links to the appropriate course. (We have alternatives for those who do not have internet access.) I collate the completed certificates and will remind those who have not completed their training.
Declaration
I confirm that the PCC of Christchurch Bushmead have and will comply with the duty to have due regard to The House Of Bishops Safeguarding Policy and Practice Guidance.

Children’s Work
Again, this year was a very difficult one for the children’s team. Due to us not being able to meet in the church due to the ongoing pandemic.
In January it was decided that we would launch Online Children’s Church. This would take place on the second Sunday of each month covering a different topic each time. This was carried out via Zoom. All our families and families that we had been in contact with through the pandemic were invited.
In June it was decided that we should try and do a children’s work event within the church building, A we had many new families that had joined us through the pandemic and we wanted to get them into the building. As a team, we really felt that it was the start of something, and all our families enjoyed their time in the church building.
In September we restarted our Sunday Children’s work, it was agreed that this would be carried out on the fourth Sunday of the month and our Family service (all-age service) on the second Sunday of the month.
When we restarted the number was very low due to some of the young people moving up to High School, which is also a blessing!!
At the end of October 50 Bags of Hope were handed out to the young people Bushmead as an alternative to the Trick or Treat (no Tricks only Treats).
Christingle Service was a great success with Bushmead Primary School Choir and the Bowers family leading our worship for the service. There were over 100 people in the church for the service and the comments that came back were all very positive, this format will be repeated in 2022 with a few adjustments.
There are some big plans for 2022 children’s work with parties being planned for once a term and many more. We are always looking for volunteers so if it’s something you would be interested in getting involved in however small or big. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
and love to each other as they grow in faith and learn more about God.

Fabric Report.
Once again, I am able to report that the Church Building has not suffered any form of abuse, graffiti or vandalism surely a sign of respect from the local community.
There has been some maintenance in the form of painting the café area, the rear wall of the main worship area and the stage walls. Also, I fitted a new time switch for the hot water emersion heater located in the plant room. A new switch was also fitted in the prayer room.
Some additional cabling was also installed in the office to provide direct connection to the printer. A Streaming System including a camera were also installed to allow services to be streamed live on the internet.
also The Security Alarm System including upgrading the external sounder. Other than these just a bit of normal maintenance replacing light bulbs etc.
Steve Brooks. Caretaker
Small Groups.
Our small groups have continued to meet and adapted well over the latest lockdown as many switched to meeting online. During the year, the groups have mainly followed questions set by the speaker. We stayed in small groups for the Lent Course last year which was a shame as it would have been good to mix with others, but technology limited us there!
Over the course of the summer, we had a series on Ephesians, and we followed the Lifebuilders Series, which was harder than many of us, including me, expected! I wasn’t able to visit the small groups this year but in 2022 and beyond, I intend to visit each group at least once to get a feel for how things are going and if there are any issues that I need to be aware of.
The groups would not work without those who lead them. My thanks go to Wendy, Nigel, Helen, Brendan, Dean, Chris and Anne. If you are a member of the church not currently in a small group, please do speak to me. From research, churches that have small groups are much more likely to grow. They are a good opportunity to develop our discipleship and help keep us accountable in our walk with the Lord.
The Rev’d Tim Madeley.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is one of the core aspects of church life and during 2021, we started to review how we could get better at what we offer. The team continued to meet as best we could in the lockdown and then returned to meeting in person when we could, approximately every 6 weeks. The team of Steve, Wendy, Roseann, Carol and Anne have been involved with all elements of the pastoral care of the church congregation and those outside the church community but who we know are in need of support.
Towards the end of 2021, the team started to look at what other ways we can offer support – this includes offering cakes or meals where needed as well as flowers and cards. We also looked at how we improve our visiting and keeping in touch with people as this was something that slipped during the pandemic.
If you are ever in need of any pastoral support, please do reach out to the team and we will do what we can to help you. All members of the pastoral care team are DBS checked.
The Rev’d Tim Madeley.
Mustard Seed.
The last Mustard Seed report dates from February 2020, just as the pandemic was arriving and the future was very much unknown. After nearly two years without our dinners, we contacted those on our list - the vast majority of those from two years ago were very keen to return, and we finally re-started with a Christmas lunch in December.
The first Mustard Seed lunch was held in January, and these events will be monthly for the time being. The initial December lunch was restricted mainly to church members, with just a few places offered to others. We were Covid-cautious and limited the places to ensure the dining areas remained uncrowded.
The lunches are now open to all. The church was also subject to a fire inspection, and this has limited our numbers to a maximum of 42 per dinner. This restriction has meant that, as demand remains high, we have had to run a waiting list as not all can be accommodated. Generally, there are about ten people who we can’t seat, so they receive priority on the list for the next dinner. The structure of the dinner has been changed slightly, and now includes spiritual as well as actual food. This comes in the form of a short ‘pause for thought’ course, in which Tim delivers a five-minute address before the dinner starts.
During the December dinner, the kitchen was inspected by Luton Council. In preparation for re-starting the dinners, the Church and MS team had some work to do in order to bring the kitchen and procedures up to the required standard. We subsequently achieved a rating of the full five stars. Some of those who previously helped at MS for many years were unable to continue, and we welcomed two new members to the team, which now numbers nine. We are however, always on the look-out for more volunteers. I would like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work and commitment to Mustard Seed, without which it would not happen.

Men’s Breakfasts.
Initially held back by lockdown, we managed to enjoy 6 breakfasts in 2021, all on a smaller scale while we were operating within the guidelines.
Brendan, Tim, and Nigel took turns at leading the discussions, among them dealing with regrets, our God-given responsibility for the environment and looking at ways to widen the men’s ministry. The most poignant moment was our meeting that fell on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, when we listened to reflections on that day from Brendan, followed by discussion of some challenging questions.
We look forward to extending our programme during 2022.
Nigel Archer.
Thirst café.
No report submitted.
Sunflower Helpline.
After a few hiccups we were able to launch the Sunflower helpline in November. The helpline will be there firstly to listen to people and then, if required we can signpost them to other organisations, so they get the help they need. We have started putting a directory together for this purpose.
The helpline will also offer help to anyone who calls needing someone to get shopping or other errands. We have been blessed with a couple of gifts of money, one of which came from Sue at the community shop. We used that money to purchase some flyers to advertise the helpline. You may have seen some on the welcome table in the foyer. We plan to wait until the new year before distributing them to homes in the parish. Several places in Bushmead were willing to display one of our posters including some of the shops. They went up in some of the windows before we even left the shop!

Electoral Roll will be presented verbally by Julia Miller at the APCM.
Treasurer’s Report will be presented separately by Brendan Roche at the APCM (additional paperwork will be available regarding finances).
Safeguarding Report (although included in our annual report) will also be presented verbally by Christina Pearce at the APCM.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees / Members of the Parochial Church Council of Christchurch Bushmead Luton
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

1.0 Objectives and activities of Christchurch Bushmead
- 1.1 Charitable Purposes
The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of cooperating with the incumbent, the Reverend Tim Madeley, in promoting in the parish of Christchurch, Bushmead, Luton, the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic and social and the maintenance of the church building for public use and worship.
1.2 Public Benefit Statement
The Parochial Church Council is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship within the church building and to leading worship within the local primary school within the parish. Worship sessions have also been arranged within Bushmead Court and Castle Troy (care homes within the parish).
In the early part of 2021, the building was closed due to the national lockdown, but worship continued by streaming from the Vicar’s study. The building reopened on Palm Sunday. Weekly Church services are open to all who wish to join the regular congregation both on Sunday mornings and Wednesday lunchtimes when regular services are held and at times of the traditional festivals of Easter and Christmas. Children’s sessions are run on the fourth Sunday of the month during the main worship service and parents are invited to bring their children to this. On the second Sunday of the month, there is an All Age Service which started in September and has seen a steady increase on families attending.
Once the lockdown eased, in addition to church services social activities have been held that were open to the wider community. The building was let out on a regular basis and has steadily increased during the latter part of 2021. Most hirers are local organisations and activity groups, including Kumon Maths, U3A and AFM.
1.3 Activities undertaken
Regular worship is offered every Sunday morning and Wednesday lunchtime with a regular attendance of 60 on Sundays and 15 on Wednesdays.
The other activities included: Home study groups Thirst Café Fitness Sessions Mustard Seed Lunch Club Men’s Breakfast Ladies Breakfast Youth and Children’s work
Worshipping * Connecting * Equipping * Empowering * Sending
We have a pastoral support group that assist members of the church and community on a regular basis and they have been involved in some quite difficult and ongoing situations, but we have seen God at work in people’s lives in amazing ways.
Further details of these activities can be found within the Annual Report attached to this report.
2.0 Achievements and Performance
The church employs one member of staff, who started the year as the Parish Administrator, but following an appraisal in June, the role changed to become the Vicar’s PA. The role involves supporting the Vicar in administrative tasks and looking after the hirers amongst many other things which are too numerous to list.
The church electoral roll for the period 1[st] January 2021 to 31[st] December 2021 stands at 60 members, 22 of whom are resident within the parish and 38 who are non-resident. During the financial year there was 3 additions, who are all resident in the parish and there was 1 removal of a non-resident.
The church has two members elected by the church members, who attend the Deanery Synod along with the Vicar. In addition, we also have two church members who are on both the Deanery and Diocesan Synods and hold posts of responsibility within the Deanery Synod.
3.0 Financial Review
- 3.1 Reserves Policy
The PCC operates with a policy of holding approximately two months of cash to meet the normal monthly expenditure of the church council.
- 3.2 Statement of year end amounts and reserves
| Statement of year end amounts and reserves | |
|---|---|
| Total income | £ 88,666 |
| Total expenditure | £ 88,255 |
| Excess of income over expenditure | £ 411 |
| Total Funds available to the church at 1stJanuary 2022 | £ 22,084 |
- 3.3 All Funds included
The accounts include all funds that are run by the PCC.
Worshipping * Connecting * Equipping * Empowering * Sending
- 3.4 Accounting Procedures
The accounts to 31[st] December 2021 have been prepared on a spreadsheet and the Gift Aid claim prepared using the Donations Co-Ordinator package from Data Developments.
- 3.5 Statement of Going Concern
The financial statements show a small excess of income over expenditure of £411 for the year. Given this result and our gradual emergence into a post-Covid environment including expected strengthening of returning room rental income coupled with continued prudent use of funds, the PCC remain optimistic on maintaining the balance between income and expenditure over the next couple of years.
4.0 Structure, Governance and Management
- 4.1 Type of Charity
The Parochial Church Council is an Excepted Charity
4.2 How Trustees are Recruited
The trustees for the Charity are the members of the church that are ex-officio due to the office that they hold within the church (Vicar and Church Wardens) and those members who are elected by the members of the church on the Electoral Roll of the Parish to serve on Deanery Synod and the PCC.

1. Accounting Policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
Funds
General Church Funds represent the funds of the PCC and are not subject to any restrictions on their use and are available for application for the general purpose of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted.
Where a fund is raised for a specific purpose e.g. Letton Hall Fund, the assets are restricted and held to be used for the specific purpose for which the fund was raised.
The financial statements 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 or those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Incoming Resources
Collections and any grants or legacies are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised alongside the income and included in the financial statements as a debtor if not received at the year end.
Income from investments
Interest is recognised when received.
Resources Used
Activities directly relating to the work of the Church
The Diocesan of Parish Share is accounted for when payable. Any common fund unpaid at the year-end which has not been waived by the Diocese Board of Finance, is provided for in the financial statements as an an operational (although not legal) liability and is is shown as a creditor in the balance sheet. At 31[st ] December 2021 £17,074 of 2021 and prior years Parish Share was outstanding but has been allowed for in the accounts as a creditor.
Fixed Assets
Consecrated land and buildings and movable church furnishings
Consecrated land and beneficial property is excluded from the financial statements by S96 (2) (a) of the Charities
Act 2011
No value is placed on movable church furnishings held by the Churchwardens on special trust for the PCC. The PCC considers this to be inalienable property.
Equipment
Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £250 or less or used for youth activities, are written off when the asset is acquired.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided to represent the consumption of the assed at the following rates on a straight-line basis:
Worshipping * Connecting * Equipping * Empowering * Sending
| Asset Type | Depreciation rate per annum |
|---|---|
| Plant and kitchen equipment | 10% - 20% |
| Chairs and furniture | 10% |
| Musical, PA and lighting equipment | 10% |
| Computers and IT equipment | 20% |
Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at the year-end are shown as debtors less any provision for amounts that may prove to be uncollectable.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities represent amounts to be paid as donations or grants to causes approved by the PCC or amounts owed for goods or services provided by creditors which are unpaid at the year-end.

The Rev Tim Madeley is employed and paid by the Diocese and his employment costs are recovered through the Parish Share. During the year the church only employed 1 person (2020 – 2). The Pension charge for 2020 related to a Section 75 employer cessation event as there were no further active members left in the Pension Scheme.
