Overview Although 2024 brought numerous moments to celebrate, the year concluded on a sombre note. On 15 December, the Parish w8s informed that ourvicarwas being suspended following complaints made to the Dioc8S8 which theywere investigating. Itwas a sad endingto the year p8rticu18rly as the year had been characterized by steady growth in congregant numbers as we remained committed to faithfully serving the Christian community Within the parish. Our regular weekly services included: The 8:30 service at St Paul's. The 10:30 service at St Peter's. The"Overflow service on thefirst Sunday of each month. A Wednesday morning communion service. Special services were also held during Easter 8nd Christmas. Children's and young people's ministriesflourished, with regu18rteachingsessions on most Sundays at St Peter's, alongside a Summer Hollday Club, an after-school club, and other occasional events. Our connection with the wider community strengthened through our community Café, Next Door Hextable, and the pastor81 work of our Vicar. Both the main Church building and the new community rooms at NDH remained in consistent use, frequently booked by various community and external groups. Forthe first time in several ye8rs, a highly successfulsummer Fun Day was organiz8d for th8 Ioc81 community. There were eleven funerals, four weddings and 19 baptlsms. Flnanclal Progress and Achlevements The annual accounts are available for inspection. In 2023, significant progress was made in reducing the building fund loans forthe annexlNDH, with the outstanding debt decreasingfrom £217,000 to £72,500. Plans for 2024 included repaying an additional £45,000 toward these loans while simultaneously covering regular expenses such as staffing, new initiatives, rising utility Costs, and maintenance of the church's buildingfabric. Th8 PCC successfullyfulfilled its plan, repaying £44,989 along with £703 in interest. This resulted in a loan reduction of £44,286. leaving an outstanding balance of £28,214 at year-end. This achievement was made possible through th8 consistent and faithful giving ofthe church congregation. Page 4
Duringthe year both churches in the Parish reached and served more people than ever in recent past. This has been achieved not just through our weekly services but significantly through special occasions such as Easter, Christmas, occasional services {Christenings, Weddings and funerals), children work both in the church and local schools, the pastoral work of our vicar and the ministry of the community café,'Next Door Hextable,. Working Groups, Commlttees, and Teams The church and charity rules allow forthe appointment of working groups-referred to as "teams" These teams may co-opt members from beyond the PCC. All teams report to the PCC, which retains legal responsibility for decision-making and direction. Additionally, the Incumbent (Vicar} is required to be an ex-off icio member.

In addition to these 8ppointed teams, which have in addltion a visionary mandate, many other valuable non-decision-making working groups exist within the church. These groups undertake and oordinate a variety of essential activities, for which the PCC remains deeply grateful. Staff Ing and Volunteer8 From 1 Aprll 2024, the PCC appointed Ashley Summerhayes on a staff contract as Worship Leader, and he also assumed some caretakingdutl8S. The PCC extends its heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who have generously given their timeto serve the church at St Paul's and St Peter's in various capacities, including ro18S Wlthin the café. We are truly blessed with an exceptional team of staff and volunteers who contribute in leadership, worship, outreach. administration, and in countless'unseen, yet essential activities. The church could not function withoutthe collective efforts of the entire body working together, and for this, the PCC are profoundly grateful. Seniors, Mlnlstry The PCC continues to viewthe absence of a dedicated leaderfor seniors, ministry as a concern. However. steps have been taken to address some of the needs of older members of the congregation. inclLJding the establishment of new daytime Life Groups. These groups h8ve been designed to accommodate 8 variety of needs. includingthose specific to seniors. Page 5
Safeguarding The PCC are responsible for ensuring compliance with national safegu8rding requirements for charities and organisations workingwith children and adults at risk, as well as those outlined bythe Church of England and the Diocese. The Parish has a Parish Safeguarding Off icer IPSO), and safeguardingteam. Together, they review, monitor. and develop policies and best practices forthe PCC. Their efforts ensure, as far as possible. safer recruitment practiC8s, effective safeguarding protocols. and appropriate responses when concerns are raised. The PCC confirms that it complies with section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016. This duty involves adheringto the House of Bishops, guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. We are pleased to confirm our unwavering commitmentto following both government 8nd Church of England safeguarding practice requirements. While we recognize the importance of remaining vigilant, we believe our current procedures place us in a strong position. Mission The PCC remains committed to supporting mission efforts financi811y, over and above the parish share 8 sum contributed to the Diocese. However, due to financial constraints during the year, it was not possible to provide 8dditionalfunds for mission in 2024. The PCC is optimistic that available resources will allowfor further contributions to mission in the comingyear. Financlal Revlew & Going Concern Receipts on unrestricted funds were £260,986, of which £163,846 was unrestricted voluntary donations, a further £18,799 from Gift Aid and £78,341 from other sources. Restricted donations of £988 were also received and are detailed in the Financi81 Statements. It is PCC policyto try to maintain a balance on unr8Stricted funds which equates to 8t least three months unrestricted 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 £1,579 held on unrestricted funds at the year-end was below thls thls target and this is due to the repayment of buildingfund loans, however the PCC expectto rebuild cash reserves in 2025 and beyond. Going Concern These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which is depend8nt on the continued support of the PCC creditors. At 31 December 2024 the charity had a balance sheet deficit of £13,309, which included loans repayable of £28,214. The trustees have 8 reasonable expectation that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future assuming the continued provision of currentfunding levels, bankfacility and support of the creditors. Conclusions relating to the going concern assumption- future performance of the charity The charity has incurred a surplus in 2024, and the trustees continue to develop new strategies to improvethe performance of the charity and are confident that the performance in 2025 will reduce the balance sheet deficit. The church continues to pay its staff and meet regu18r costs as well as pay the loan instalments, while not undertaking any more projects until the reserves build up again. Page 6
Conclusion Having reviewed the management accounts, budgets and projections of the charity and havingtaken into account the current and forecast performance and availability of finance and support of creditors. the trustees believe they have reasonable grounds for statingthat the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence forthe foresee8ble future and that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. Building malntenance at St Peter's and St Paul's The general maintenance and fabric are considered as a standard item at each PCC meeting. There were no major works or necessary major maintenance at either St Paul's or St Peter's during 2024, although routine maintenance was noted as required and acted upon when possible. The recording of and arranging for necessary malntenance work is carried out through the Fabric Advisory Commlttee. Next Door Hextable- Café The Café operates as a Communlty Inter8St Company and under the direction of the PCC. Staff and volunteers are the responsibility of the Company, though a resources-sharing agreement exists between the Company and the PCC to foster collaboration. Profits are covenanted to the PCC, but church funds are protected from any losses The café continues to thrive and remains very popular. It operates from Mond8yto Saturday, with addition8l events held occasionally. Accounts for 2024 are 8V8ilable The café's profitability has allowed itto pay a rent to the Church while also meeting its other commitments. The NDH Directors, no doubt ech08d bythe PCC, wish to express immense gratitude to the staff and the many volunteers who have helped make the café such a success. The Directors appointed by the PCC for 2024 were: Martin Andrews (Chair, resigned September 20241 David Pearson (Company Secretary) Johnny Douglas Sue Haward Rachel Wallis John Wlgglnton (appointed October 20241. Mlsslonal and Community Use In addition to serving as a community hub, the café plays a key role in church mission. Various church activities alreadytake place within the café space, including: Early morning prayer sessions. Monday Bible study Youth meetings and Youth Alpha courses. Page 7
Addition81ly, numerous initiatives have been developed, such as occasional'sunday Specials" and various "pop-up" events, which have been in operation since the café's opening The PCC is committed to furthering any ideas that might increase its use for missional events and to develop further links with the community. St Paul's CofE School Two members of the St Peters congregation served as Governors throughout 2024, fostering strong connections with the school. Ourvicar maintained regular meetings with the Executive Head and other staff, ensuring consistent communication and collaboration. Our children worker actively participated in the weekly school assemblies held atthe church and contributed to other school lessons, strengthening ties between the church and the school community. In addition, regular coordinatlon and planning meetings involving st Paul's Church, Swanleyvillage, the school, and the residents, association were held. The pcc gre8tly values the close and cooperative relationship we share with St Paul's CofE School, as well as the distinct but equally meaningful connection with Hextable Primary School. Deanery and Diocese Two members of the PCC are on the Deanery Synod. ensuring the parish's active partlcipation in local church affairs. Additionally, one member and our vicar serve as Deanery representatives on the Diocesan Synod, providing a vital link between the PCC and the wider structures of the church. FUTURE AIMS The PCC is committed to the development in the Parish and wider community of spiritual leadership and witness. The PCC want to continue to grow healthy leaders and flourishing teams, increasing the resources to extend th8 mission of the church to our communities. The PCC are encouraged by the developments In relation to our workwith children, youth, and families, and the continuing use of the rooms in the annex and the popularity of the café. The PCC acknowledge that growth and development requires more than just sufficient finances but also the need for yet more volunteers to assist, as well as a seniors. lead and others to develop our ministry with older people. Consideration will need to be given to the possibility of appointing a caretaker to care for and partly supervise the "Church Estate" at Peter's and St. Paul's and Next Door Hextable. The PCC look forward to welcoming people from across our community and to seeingthe centre and the c8fé become a p8rlsh meeting point, where we as church can more effectlV8ly reach and meet needs in our communities of Hextable and Swanley Village. We want the NDH centre and both churches to be places where people feel'at home,, are valued, accepted and thrive together.
