2 AIM5 AND PURPOSES
The PCC has the responslbllSty of co-operating with the vicar in promotin8 in the parish the whole mlsslon of the
Church, its life of worship and its role as the Church in the community. The PCC also has responsibility for policy
decisions and financial stewardship of funds used in support of the ministry In the Parish Church and for the
malntenance of the Church buildings.
3 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Members of the PCC Ithe trustees} are either ex-officlo, elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meetin8 IAPCMI
or co-opted in accordance with the Church Representatlon Rules 2020. Based on a resolution passed at the
October 2020 APCM, a limit of 2 x 3-year terms applies for elerted PCC members from May 2021. As charity
trustees. all PCC members are requlred to sign a declaration that they are willlng and eligible to art as trustee5
{i.e. not le8ally disqualified). that they understand thelr chaTlty's purposes and have passed any safeguardlng
checks requlred, as the charity works with children and vulnerable people
PCC members are expected to comply with our code of prarti￿, based on legal and other8ood practice guldance
and setwlthln the context of the St PeteT'S and St Paul's work plan. The code takes account of Charltycomrnlsslon
requirements. the Charity Governance Code and the Church Representation Rules lour8overning document).
During the year there were 192 adults In formal membershlp of the church, an Increase of seven on the prevlous
vear. but more than this In regular Sunday attendance. All Church attendees ère encoura8ed to reglster on the
Electoral Roll and particlpate in the election to the PCC and off1￿$ of Wardens and the APCM.
During 2023 the PCC met In January. March, Aprll, June, September and November, for rather more than 2
hours at a tlme. These six meetings In both 2023 and the year before, compare wlth eight ordinary meetin8S
and three speclal meetlngs in 2021, reflecting a marked ￿ductIon In workload as a result of the completlon of
the annexe bulldln8 project Iwith café mèna8ement responsibilities transferrin8 to a NDH Board of Dlrectors)
and the endin8 of the varlous pandemlc'lockdowns,.
Any urgent matters are agreed by correspondence between rneetings which Is permls5ible under the Church
Rules. All meetin85 were condLKted wlth m05t members present. Minutes are available to all church members
on request from the PCC Secretary once they have been agreed at the next PCC meeting.
Each meetln8 Is planned. provldlng members wlth full briefin8 notes on the range of matters on the agenda.
Certain standln8 items are considered at all routlne meetings concerning finance, safe8uardlng. Deanery or
Diocesan matters and general c(Yrespondence. The PCC and the staff group each routinely review our activlties
and seN1￿$ as soon a5 possible after an event to ensure any lessons learned are applled for the future.
Glven Its wlde responsibilities the PCC has several commlttees. The Church Representation Rules 1020 allow for
the appointmentof working 8roups to discuss ortain sublects thoroughly In detail and they may co-opt members
from beyond the PCC. All such Committees are required to report to the PCC who retaln the legal responsibility
for decision-making. There is a requlrement that the Incumbent is an ex-officio member of each. 8 such
committees {known as teams) operated through the year wlth an additional committee from February 2024.:
others a￿ planned for the future. In addition to these appointed Commlttees, which have a visionary mandate,
many other valuable non- decision-making vmrkln8 groups exist in the churth, undertaking and toordlnatlng
variety of essential activltles, for which the PCC are very grateful.
We continue to be committed to enabllng as many people as possible to worshlp at ourtwo church buildings ènd
to take an attive part in the life of the Parish. The PCC maintalns an Ove￿ieW of worship in both churches and,
with the vicar, reviews how our services can reach out to and better serve all who Ilve within our parlsh. Our
Page 3

services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and Scripture, muslc (both contemporary and
traditionall, sacrament and in its outworkin8 through service to the community.
We confirm that the major rlsks to which the PCC is exposed. as identified by the trustees, are regularly discussed
and revlewed and that systems and procedures have been established where needed to mana8e such risks
4 AN OVERVIEW OF CHURCH LIFE DURING 2023
We are now well past the closure5 and special arran8ements of the pandemic years which had totally impacted
the activitie5 of the church and the daily lives of the whole community. Slnce then, there has been a steadv
growth across our four congregations at both St Peter's and St Paul's and in new people particlpating 8enerally
In the Ilfe of the fellowshlp.

The bulldln8 fund loans needed to complete the annex have been pald down slgnlflcantly from £217k to £72.5k

further £45k towards the bulldlng fund loans. as well as meetin8 Its regular costs relating to stafflng, new
ventures. hl8her utlllty bi515 and the wlder building fabrlc upkeep. None of thls would have been possible without
the re8ular falthful 8lvln8 of our churth con8re8ation, for whlch the PCC Is grateful.
The PCC would Ilke to acknowledge and slncerely thank our Vlcar, Rev Dr. Johnny Dou8las, for his leadership and

a major refurbishment of the toilets, kitchen and corridor5 in the old bulldln8. Once sufflcient funds
are available the next stage Is to install a new heatln8 Svstem In the worship area and entrance foyer.
At St Paul's various routlne repalrs and renewals have been carrled out but there is a large body of
work needed, largely identifled Sn the last Quinquennlal Report of 2020. A schedule of works needed
has been prepared which wlll be consldered by the newly formed Fabric Advlsory Commlttee. Goln8

parlsh share to the Diocese) to mlssions. This is based a 'thlrds' approach of the 10%. 5.e. to local

Deanery representatlves on the Diocesan Synod. Thls provides the PCC wlth an Important link

6. FINANCIAL REVIEW & GOING CONCERN
Total receipts on Un￿strICted funds were £233.479, of which £151,298 was unrestricted voluntary donation5,
further £18,121 from Gift Aid and £64,060 from other sources. Restrlcted donation5 of £67,457 were also
received and are detalled in the Financial Statements.
Durin8 2023 there was a loss of £154,899 in the PCC funds Ilncludin8 £64,000 of transfer5) and an overall loss of
£97.271. thls was due to the major refurbishment at St Peterfs as well as the final amount to complete the St
Peter's buildin8 project.
Page 6

It is PCC policy to try to maintaln a balan￿ on unrestritted funds which equates to at least three months
unrestritted payments. This is equivalent to £30,000. It is held to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to
meet emergencies. The cash balance of £5,150 held on unrestrirted funds at the year end was below thi5 this
target and this is due to the large capital spending during the yearand repayment of bulldin8 fund loans, however
the PCC expect to rebuild cash reserves 2024 and beyond.
Going con￿rn
These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basls whlch Is dependent onthe contlnued support
of the PCC creditors. At 31 December 2023 the charity had a balance sheet deflcit 01 £47,232, which included
loans repayable of £72,500. The trustees have a feasonable expectation that the charity wlll continue In
operational exlstence for the foreseeable future assumlng the continued provision of currentfundin8 leve15. bank
facllity and support of the creditors.
Conclusions relating to the golnE concern assumption - future performance of the charity
The charity has incurred a deficlt In 2023, due to the completion of bulldlng works that had been contrarted for.
The trustees contlnue to develop new strategies to lrnprove the performance of the charity and are confident
that the performance In 2024 will reduce the balance sheet deficlt. The church continues to pay Its Staff and
meet re8ular costs as well as pay the loan Instalments, whlle not undertaklng any more proie¢ts untll the reserves
build up a811n,
Concluslon
Havin8 revlewed the management accounts, budgets and prolertions of the charity and having taken into
account the current and forecast performance and availablllty of finance and support of creditors, the trustees
belleve they have reasonable ground5 for statlng that the challty ha5 adequate resources to contlnue in
operational exlstence for the foreseeable future and that tt Is appropriate to prepare the flnanclal statement5 on
the 8oin8 concern basss.
7. FUTURE PLANS
A goal as a PCC contlnues to be one of developlng the splrltual leadership of the church. We want to continue to
8row healthy leaders and flourishlng teams, increasin8 the resources to extend the mlssion of the church to our
communltles. We are encouraged by the developments In relatlon to our work with children. youth, and famllles,
but urgently need more volunteers to asslst, as well as a senlor5' lead and others to develop our minlstry with
older people. Conslderation is now being glven to the posslbility of appolntlng a caretsker to care for and partly
supervlse the "Church Estate" at Peterfs and St. Paul's and Next Door Hextable.
We look forward to welcoming people from across our communlty and to seeln8 the ￿ntre and the café become
a parlsh meetlng point, where we as church can more effectively reach and meet needs Sn our communitles of
Hextable and Swanley Village. We want the centre and church to be a place where people feel 'at home,, are
valued, acopted and thrlve tO8ether.
